GS430 or 540i 6

wuts ur opinion

Lexus GS430 or BMW 540i 6speed

if im allowed to drive a manual i'll get the 5... but if im not the GS is a much better deal... plus more aftermarket parts are available (i plan to get a full l-sportine kit with a front veilside hood and greddy PX exhaust).. for the beamer all u can really do is like an M-technic kit ant a dinan ecu chip... any major engine tuning costs way to much

so right now basically im siding with the GS430 (dammit they shud have it available in a 6.. or at least special order)

wut do u think

I'd go for the bimmer but that's cuz I'm a total bimmer enthusiast. as for modding. there's more options than just m-technic.

if you can't drive stick then ask about smg upgrade. it might be available for new models. I know it's an available upgrade for the E46 M3.

I dunno about 5 series but for 3 series you can go with ac shcnizer(sp?), Racing Dynamics, Reiger just to name a few. for lighting you can go to mts, hella, etc... the 5 series already has angel eyes and maybe HID..or at least H3 bulbs so lighting prolly won't be a concern.

there's lots of options bodywise for bmw.


as for performance, like you said, ECU and a CAI(Cold AIr Intake) are probably your best bets. if you wanna dish out more cash you can go for like performance exhuast, cam shaft, headers, etc...


but I were going for a bimmer I'd go for a 3 series. they're smaller and they look better in my opinion.

man.. if you got the 540i and got that dinan supercharger it'd be one hell of a fast car. i think the supercharged dinan 540 has the same specs as the m5. right? other than the suspension and crap. like performance wise.
