Near future...

How does Dinan intend to get around the dual intake issue? Dual superchargers? Underneath the intake cover is a series of well engineered intake stacks that I wouldn't trust anyone but BMW to re-engineer!

ESS has been talking about a supercharged M5 for almost a year and there is still nothing to show for it. The tuners in Europe who have been modifying M5s are blowing lots of engines up until now. Some won't even modify the engine. Nowack offers a kit to bring hp up to 503, but from the M5 board, it doesn't sound like it offers much more oomph than the standard M5.
