The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com) - View Single Post - OT: Attention 996TT owners without the X50 package

Guys I will clarify this....The option is available, but only as a factory option, you cannot buy the car and then decide to add the X50 package, you can only do it upon purchase......

Porsche says it will bring the turbo to 10 hp shy of the gt2.....

So it seems that one can build a gt2 from a 996tt and save a very nice chunk of change.....
