Now my question for the N63 and S63 tunning experts would be this: since im aiming for 600whp/600tq I would obviously need downpipes, exhaust, higher flow drop ins or intakes and a badass tune. Now if i get a 650i instead and add the same aftermarket parts would i still make enough power to touch that 600whp mark? Yes I know the S63 has a better flowing exhaust manifold and higher lifting exhaust camshafts but would the higher compression rate in the N63 make up for that and produce the same power? Im looking at two cars, one is a M6 in the color combo i want for 65k and the other is a 650i with the M package for 40k (both same millage). So considering i would do full bolt ons and tune on either car will they make the same power or how close would it be? Will the DCT transmission in the M6 and the extra goodies be worth the extra 25k?
I'll wait for some feedback before i make a decision. Thanks guys  |
I own an E63 M6 so I will chime in on the general theory of ///M vs. standard BMW.
As you know, the extra power is not the only part of the equation. The real advantage is in all of the other bits and bobs on the car.
Before I purchased my M6, I drove a 650i which was an amazing car. Nearly 400hp and all of the handling one can use on public roads. A fantastic car. Shortly thereafter I drove an M6. I knew immediately that in 4 turns an M6 can leave a 650i like it was tied to a tree. Brakes, Suspension, and the Diff. OMG the Diff.
I will leave you with this: The whole is worth more than the sum of it's parts. This is especially true with ///M vehicles.
Please keep us posted on your decision!
