I want to know how ANY of these tunings translate to power on the road. My Dinan stage 3 tune on my 550 (F10) was WELL worth it (520hp,580tq). The power was immediate and fierce. However, on these M6s, I just fail to see how it's going to help translate into major speed gains.

I think BMW knew what it was doing, when it kept the torque numbers (semi) modest, at 500. These engines are top-notch. Power is certainly not the problem.

Again, with the massive wheel spin we get in the first 2 gears, the torque gains are relatively pointless.

I can definitely see how it would help in highway driving (passing,etc). If we had all wheel drive cars, it would be a completely different story.

Am I wrong?
