A fool and his money are soon departed.
.........but hey, it's your money! (J.J. Wentworth) "it's my money and I want it now!" On a serious note, I'd say sell the '04 and buy something more updated, versus TT'ing an 04 - may cost hell of a lot, and the results may not be that substantial.... Why not grab a Z06/GT-R? |

The twin turbo v8 will trickle down through the model line, BMW already solved your problem.
Unless you want to throw money down a drain, go right ahead. |

Well the only problem i find with this want is that with more power comes less mpg. That's usually the common thought. GL with the project though.

Israel=deep wallet.. and don't take it as a knock most would LOVE to have that relation smart people and hard workers get where they want to be 75% of the time. i don't think he would be asking if he wasn't at least semi interested and ready to spend 45k minimum to do it. i say if you got the bank and ready to fork out the 50k or so do it.. it will be one unique ride.. but seriously you could trade your car in and get an m6 with a warranty and be close to that price depending on how many miles you have on the 645.. or you could find a year old m6 and you would be in a great situation.

Wait for the F12/F13 6 series. OEM 400+ hp 4.4L N64 V8 will be present in the engine bay - bank on it. Figure late 2010 as an MY2011 model. Save your pennies, and enjoy your car until then.

Sounds like you know very little about cars.
My advice would be to sell the 6 series and buy something more in line with what you want.

To each is own but I think you would never be able to resell the 645 if you did that to it.
Buy a M6, the works all done and at the end of the day you own something that you could sell in a year or two down the track.
