Probably 400+ fl-lb with chips, CAI, and exhaust. Still, the chips should be enough, assuming I even get around to installing them. The stock power is pretty impressive given the weight the car, especially on the highway. The M70 has a wide power band at cruising speeds.

Even at stock power numbers, the E32 with M70 V12 was supposedly factory tested to 186+ MPH with the 155MPH speed limiter removed. However, I have the extended "L" body, so being realistic about the added weight, I am thinking more like 170-175MPH with the tuning chips.

The wide power band is what makes it so nice. It's great to have loads of torque on tap, at any rpm.

How is the exhaust note on that 5.0 v12? Never heard one in person.
