A 5.5 liters engine, doesnt that mean they have to rebuild the engine completly? If so, that must be very expensive so is it really worth it? What about Torque, is 580nm possible, even 600 nm? Raised redline to say 8400 rpm and the new DCT, do you think the M5 will get it?

I think the ceramic brakes should save something like 8 kgs unsprung mass per corner (I think this is what the 996 TT with ceramics had over the standard discs), which would have a marked effect on handling. |
