The Vehicle is not for you if you're looking for fast 0-60's. While 5.3 is fast, it's nothing in comparison to today's Ferrari's or Lamborghini's. However, I have realized that the vehicle's engine can really be appreciated after 70+MPH.

The car when bought had a little over 12,000 miles on it. The count is now a little over 19,300

I have heard from BMW specialists when I bring my car in for a tune up that it will perform better in lane changing maneuvers than most ferrari's due to its Active Rear-Axle Kinematics system. This basically means that a computer controlled hydraulic system helps in steering the rear wheels depending on the turn angle of the front wheels, and therefore all four wheels turn into the same direction, which minimizes the cars shift of weight. I have gone into parking lots, and it is definitely noticeably easier to make quicker vehicle movements.

The Vehicle is 380hp standard, with the intake and headers, I am assuming it's around 400. However, I've never had it dyno'd to substantiate that.
