The real RS6 competitor from BMW...if you only have one leg and still want to go M5-style this seems to be a good option.

I bet this car will be faster than many M5 owners may handle, especially if caught off guard with the wrong gear...

DINAN S3-BMW 540i

DINAN Over Rated
Dont get me wrong Dinan makes great stuf, but its way over priced......Example the Dinan CAI vs. the Active Autowerks CAI...Not only dose the Active Auto CAI cost half as much as the Dinan it also make more HP.....For the cost of the Dinan 540 supercharged....You could buy a 525 or a 530 get the Active Autowerks turbo kit and you will be making a reliable 500hp with no problem. Once again Im not saying the Dinan Supercharger isnt any good, Im saying its over priced when you compare it to the Active Autowerks Turbo Kit....Dollar for dollar more HP for your buck.....


just my 2 cents.....Jay.S

Everything I have read states the stock M5 holds up very well to the RS6. I would think the Dinan S2 M5 would be a better representative though.
