I like what he did with it. The front headlight housing looks pretty cool and different.

Check this dyno out!

Not only does his 540 put down ~50 more horses than the M5, but he's also 300 lbs lighter! Hahahahahaha

I like the car, but one would think that to afford that collection of toys, one would need to have at least a minor education. Therefore, one would spell-check his website before going public.

I love the headlights, First time I saw it in my rear view mirror I was just amazed and shocked and couldn't stop staring. The new 5 series are tight as a mofo. and they perform as well too.

My next car = m5

There's more spelling errors in his sight than there is horsepower in his car.

Not sure yet. I'd like to. I want to see the mods you made to your ride. Mine is stock right now but I'm considering some possibilities.

I'm curious as to how fast an M5 would be with the same modifications, I'm sure some fool out there has done it and wondering why this one didn't start with an M5.

Maybe I'm missing something but if I was a guy who had all these cars and all this loot, why would I be afraid to show my face in photos at my own website?

Hmmmm... an article about the rich and the cheap. I had a look at this (rich today [but having a heck of a lot of fun], poor tomorrow) ->

Secret of self-made millionaires

Don't bash me, I didn't write it

Did you notice that his car gets 9.78MPG. Damn, I guess with that much money for mods, who gives a rats a$$ about gas mileage.

He's probably part owner of DINAN Corp.

What a piece ol shit!?! I mean I love the car, but 12.82 in the 1/4 mile!?! WTK!?!.....he had to have paid more than the M5 ($72K). A Dinan 540 SC costs ($60 for the car alone)..13K alone for the SC...not to mention the required upgrades for the 540 to run that amount of boost to achieve over 450 hp...remember the 540 puts out 282. That is a big waste of money.
