    there are lots of different add-ons that will get you close to 500. here’s a good place to start:

    but if you want some serious power, consider a supercharger kit. there are a few out there. here are 2 of the best:

    http://www.dinanbmw.com/
    http://www.vf-engineering.com/ (kit currently in development)

    both of those kits will get you above 600HP.

    the M5 is one the most highest performance sedans out there. there are some who put turbos on them. try to get a cold air intake and a chip.

    Quickest way is a hundred shot of nos. some bmw owners scoff at forced induction but you can find a paxton/vortech style supercharger kit that will easly pull that power out of your engine.

    Either way you’ll want to upgrade the fuel system or its ping ping boom.

    easy go buy some stickers and place it onto the car. and there you go. then you push ECT BUTTON and off you go. VVVRRRRROOOOOM WHEEEEHHHHHHHHH.

    dinan upgrades..will cost you $$$

    better to buy a 2005 E55 AMG..that already comes with 469hp.

    That’s a big jump and on a motor that is already pretty tweaked.

    I’d say the only way is either a supercharger (with the other mods you’ll need as well) or the more dangerous nitrous route for short bursts of power.

    either way, you are looking at having to spend at least $10,000 and probably more.

    Buy a Corvette…they’ll kick your M5s butt all day long anyway…your car is not a drag racer…it’s a gentleman’s express.
