After reading that Nowack Tuning Report...  wow.

Are we not looking at this the wrong way around?  This isn't a M5 that has been re-shelled.  It is a base spec 530 that's been repowered with 23 year old, heavily modified M5 running gear.

Some of you anoraks may find this interesting- an old thread on the M5 board that showcases a Brit’s experience doing the Nowack thing with his e39 20 odd years ago…

Am I missing something? This seems utter nonsense. US$50000 for 100hp.  Couldn't he have bought a supercharger kit for 1/4 of that and got more than 100HP and still had factory reliability?  It makes no sense.
