Transcript

You're willing to sacrifice a little reliability, this is one of the most insane builds you can do, and it will destroy anything on the street. The foundation is a 2017 to 2023 BMW five fifty I. Since it depreciated, you can get one now for as low as $25,000. That's significantly cheaper than the f 90 m five, yet it actually comes with larger turbos than the standard n 63. In other words, it's a perfect sleeper platform with huge untapped potential. Add catless downpipes to free up exhaust flow. Next, throw in a cold air intake kit to eliminate the restricted factory routing. Finally, top it off with a proper custom tune to pull everything together. This very simple setup brings the stock 480 horsepower number to 650 horsepower and 670 torque. Basically, right at Hellcat numbers and it's all wheel drive and 100 pounds better. This build will easily run ten seconds on the quarter mile and destroy anything on the street, and it's as simple as just two physical mods and a tune. So tell me would you build this beast?
