FBO n54's on race gas/meth have gotten pretty close to 10's. I believe the fastest one on record ran an 11.2.
They're fast as fuck man, it's scary.

You'd be surprised. I've never ran one until the other day and I walked the shit out of him when I was on pump gas, FBO. I was kind of surprised. Thought they'd be faster. Must be heavy as hell.
It's a fucking econo-box with a huge wing that stoners who gauge their ears and smoke camel crushes have made popular. It's not like it's a 2014 GT-R with a track package.
Just be careful and feel them out. Dinan is licensed by BMW to tune their cars. Why? Because Dinan is extremely conservative with their tuning and BMW gets a cut of their ludicrous prices. I would just ask around for an adviser who is an enthusiast, I've always had success with that. When I went...
Yes, it is. But the beauty of the JB4 is that you can just access the DME yourself and remove the tune. You can also do the same with COBB and Vishnu ProCede. That's the beauty of BMW tuning, you don't have to break open your fucking ECU and hope the dude flashing it doesn't mis-align a pin and...
I would honestly get a c5 z06 over a boosted e55. They're a completely different animal from your run of the mill c5 and they can make damn well close to 400whp with a tune, headers, and an intake. Plus, it sounds like a phucking jet engine on cold starts.
And honestly, manual transmission or...
Yeah it's almost ludicrous how cheap you can make reliable power with these inline six turbos. BMW gets a lot of unnecessary hate for being unreliable (which assuredly isn't the case, VW's are more fragile/have more weak points IMO) on this forum. Sure, you pay a premium for maintenance/brakes...
Just got through reading some of this thread and I'm completely jealous of your recent pickup! Amazing package you built, I've really been following this vehicle for some time. It looks like a true successor to my 135i M-sport with more luxury and of course with everything updated. Kudos to you...
Personally, I wouldn't go anywhere near a 2006 e55. A good buddy of mine has a FBO kleeman tuned 2005 e55 and he's so frustrated with the electrical issues and the transmission issues.
Thing takes close to 10 quarts of 10w60 at 15$ a gallon
Fucking thing has 16 spark plugs (2 for each...
Sirocco's are cool cars to probably about less than 1% of the population in North America. And 1% of that 1% probably has the money to buy this car. People who drive VW don't do so because they've got 200 grand to blow on cars, just saying.
