A moddable (more than just tune/exhaust) midsize sedan that crushes everything in a straight line with comfort and luxury and decent handling. Save the harsh sports car like handling and jerky MCT tranny for the C class or GT. And yes I’ve been told I should be looking at an S class if I wanted those things but they’re just too big for my taste. Actually, I wouldn’t even mind the sports car like handling if the adjustable suspension actually had a real comfort setting.

And you’re making my point with modding. Compare how other platforms respond to the mods you listed with AMG and you’ll understand.

I’m sure the MCT has improved in the W213 but that’s the first and last time MCT and “smooth as butter” will likely ever be used in the same sentence...regardless of what it’s being compared to. The transmission in our GT-R was smoother than our W212 and there can be no excuse for that!

or just the engine variables like compression and displacement/size respond better to boost/meth on bmw versus amg?

I actually don’t think there’s more on the table with BMW or Audi, just software that’s not as encrypted allowing you more tuning capabilities and the ability to take better advantage of aftermarket hard parts.

All this speculation but to my knowledge no one has put a JB4 and a E63s together yet. I am very confident that once Terry adjusts the firmware for E63s boost tables and optimizes everything, the E63s will see significantly faster times than full tunes are providing for E63s currently.
As far as I know though, Terry will need a development car for this to data log and adjust the firmware accordingly. May be you one of you guys can email him if there is any one from here who lives near him in Cali and take the car to him. Terry has a lot of plans for other car models, so unless you guys push him, it won't get done.

there are no NHRA approved tracks in whole CIS countries. so they should ship their cars to America - makes absolutely no sense. noone really cares about that nhra....but thats a good excuse to american tuners who cant admit that their m5's are much slower...

what does the m5 have done to it that it is running 9.8-9.9s?
