[QUOTE="Devillian, post: 656116, member: 22102"] Haha might be awhile. I think some of the major tuners may focus on a turbo upgrade for the M5 first. Taking the 335 as an example, a 700bhp version would still [B]not[/B] be able to keep up with the M3 on a track. So when they develop the 535 upgrade, they would have to consider the cost of the turbo upgrade vs the used market prices of the F10 M5. Considering that the research & developement, plus the parts cost of developing a turbo upgrade for the 535 and the M5 would be about the same, they may focus on the M5 first, to give themselves a bigger margin. Should point out this is just my take on the scenario that would play out. [/QUOTE]
