Sorry folks, but I just couldn't resist this opportunity :) YES, that's a NOS kit in my M5's trunk, but NO, I have not plumbed NOS in my M5. If you look closely at the picture, you can see there are no lines leading away from the bottles, no heating blanket, etc. etc. The kit's actually for my Viper; the dyno graph I posted is also from the Viper, which likes NOS just fine.
The NOS badge looks horrendously tacky, and I stuck it temporarily there for the picture, then immediately removed it.
I'm actually a bit surprised no one called my bluff earlier. The HP curve is all wrong for an M5, the RPM limits are wrong, and good heavens! 670 ft/lbs of RW torque would cause all sorts of unpleasant and expensive snapping sounds in the M5 drivetrain!

Cheers,
Ben "the prankster" Treynor
