If you want a ~450hp F10, just trade to a 550. If you want that kind of power in a smaller/lighter BMW, go to the M4. Modifying your car should be a distant 3rd choice IMHO. It'll only help depreciate/devalue the car while making it less reliable.

Smoking the lambo? Start with a lighter car with more stock power and modify from there. F10 won't be the platform given the weight. Slowest modern Lambos (last 10 years or so) are sub-4s 0 - 60 with 500hp - 560hp (Gallardos). Getting the F10 in the same club would probably require well over 600hp - 650hp, especially given the 400lb weight advantage of a Gallardo. Now, smoking one? Now you're talking about Huracan performance...

If it's bigger power you seek, I'd just move on from the 528xi. There's only so much you'll do to it, and all the while you'll sink money into it while devaluing it and making it unreliable.
