Did I get those letters in the right order?

The new Roundel features the new really fast X5. I have been dreaming about a blown 540 when I trade my 7 in, but when I heard about the V-12 X-5 test model, I started watching the stats on the X-5. The 4.6 liter X-5 is probably fast enough based on the article in Roundel. More head room too.

Does anyone build a blower for this one yet?

This month's Bimmer mag has an article on a blown 4.4i that is supposed to be faster that the 4.6is, though it is not being released yet because the blown 4.4i motor is too strong for the standard 4.4i tranny. They're waiting for the 4.6is tranny to become available. I forgot which tuning company was doing it though...

Yeah, also, there is a blown 3.0 that has output almost equal to that of 4.4i....my dad is also waiting for something for the 4.4i ;)

And maybe later on he'll figure out how to mate an m5 tranny to it :alright

That S/C 3.0 would be hella fun espechially with the std tranny. . .
