The M package as you call it is the sport package, and it doesn't change the power. What it does change is the wheels, steering wheel, shift knob, suspension set-up, and front facia.

^^ Yes, but the 540i 6 speed is nothing to sneeze at. If they had run from a 60 roll or so, I would predict that the 540 would start to walk away.

I've played with a one before...at highway speeds, they are pretty quick.

ShiftGearAP1...I dare you to have your buddy post up the results on bimmerforums.com. Those results would cause a huge sh!t storm.

Hmm, they are designed for the autobahn, no?
