This really does point out to me that the F10 550i is an incredibly fast car. If one really wanted to go the distance and get the soon to be available Dinan upgrade ... it would destroy any and all realistic competition including M's.
Problem is, is it worth giving up the warranty ...

I am not much of a fact dredger but Cidair in this post points out that factory numbers are:
- M3 E92 M-DCT 0 -100 km/h = 4.6s
- 550i xDrive 8-spd auto 0 -100 km/h = 4.8s
Now take off the xdrive which is not for performance and adds extra weight, we are looking at a neck to neck 0- 100 km/h. Drop a Dinan upgrade in it and the M3 is sucking wind to catch up.
