Even my dealer here in Canada says not available for 535/550/528. Unless they are not getting all the info from Germany on a timely manner.

Let say if the kit does come available for the 550, then it will be on par with the upcoming 650 gran coupe. 10% increase in hp & 5 % increase in tq.
I guess it will be a simple software and hardware tune. Logically it should be available for all models.

Thanks. Happy about it. And checked with BMW that it was a clean car as well. Besides the soft top is definitely quite hard to upkeep. starts to smell and gets very stuffy inside

gazillion of mod parts for E9x. But with your deep pocket, no problemo. Start with some Morr multiforged.

You need to do a drag race with your F10 and E93, probably with be par.

My previous 2 cars are all soft top. Yup, hard to upkeep but I never have any smell. Your dogs ride on your car? Also it will become noisy over time. But this will be your ex's problem now.

I think the M3 will definitely lose the drag race with the f10 550i, given that it is a non turbo 4L. But will probably kill the f10 on back roads

The 135 softtop smells probably my driver didn't shampoo the top

Stat says your F10 550i is 5.0sec and E93 M3 is 5.1sec from 0-100km. If you have the coupe or saloon probably can beat your 550i. Of course lap race your M3 should be the king. And the DCT is really cool.

The soft top you just need to treat it like painted surface. Wash with shampoo every time.

BTW, when you order your Morr for your M3. Step lip will be cool, and you need to pair it up with your F10 so another step lip set for your F10. Again I'm first on your list for your MS8.

Are you having the 260M 18" or the 220M 19"? The 220M is an option and forged, the standard 260M is only cast.

Either one not good enough for you. Offset will not be perfect and you need spacers. So definitely 2 sets of new wheels coming for your M3 and F10.

Nope. If so, I will go cheap and get the gts-rm for the m3

Ps. They are the 220Ms

Definitely not the case. I have living 2 days in M3 at F1 Shanghai last year.
Both 550 & M3 have sufficient power to spin rear wheels easliy when hard acceleration, despite M3's torque is only 295 lb/ft VS 550i's 450 lb/ft.
So giant torque didn't help here, unless its 4WD.

I think M3 outrun 550 by 0.5 sec or so, in 0-100, due to it's advantage in HP per lb

Isn't the E93 M3 a hardtop? What's the deal with the softtop?
