Hi all,
My guess is everyone already knows about this, but according to Dinan, there will be kits coming out soon for the M5. Don't quote me (rather him) on this, but a 470 HP kit, naturally asperated, is due out around May. He asked that you don't call Dinan and ask, as they'll release it soon enough.
Anyway, the 470 HP kit will include software, intake, air flow meters, throttle body, all the normal "good stuff". This will cost upwards of $10K.
The kicker is the 500HP kit. While being explained, it really made alot of sense why the kit will cost upwards of $45K. It was explained that a 500HP kit (SCharged) put on an M5 also needs a myriad of other upgrades to keep the car safe, and reliable. Including those upgrades mentioned above, Dinan's 500HP kit will include new brakes, rotors, etc, new wheels, suspension, etc. My guess is for those who have already taken the plunge for many of these upgrades, will have the $$$ amount credited back toward the cost of the SC kit - but that's up to the master minds at Dinan.
Anyone considering this? Again, please don't call Dinan about this, as this is all the info currently available. They will release within the next few months. I'll also post as I hear more...
