You have 300 HP at your toetips, ready to be unleashed, but the BMW doesn't made a loud noise (pun intended) of the fact that it is a high tech, efficient, modern V8 So it already is much better than the other cars. I know, I had an E39 V8 :-) PS: if you do any changes, remember that the car currently has a high quality stainless steel exhaust that will last forever. Don't muck it up with cheap alternatives. If you fit anything else, make sure it comes from a reputable source that knows that the changes won't affect the enigine management system by altering exhaust pressures and gas flow. Never remove the catalytic converters, or their oxygen sensors, you'll totally stuff up the engine management if you do. PPS: to properly compare with an AMG, you need to use the M5 for comparision.
