He is keen on the new BMW 550 that is to be released soon or the Porsche Cayman.He currently has an M5 which he loves and I also think is an awesome machine.I suggested to him that maybe he would be best off to do some mods to his current ride and keep that.I know that this is not the correct forum but does anyone know or can they recommend who to talk to in Brisbane regarding upgrade packages for his M5 as he he seems pretty hot on this idea. I suggested maybe he look at turbo or s/c and tune the motor to around 400 - 450 KW.All opinions are welcomed!syco6

I would leave it and just enjoy it.The Brakes are the only real weak point.
