2b) What steptronic trans equiped bmws handle that much torque? (not sure if the m5 uses the same trans...I'm almost sure it doesnt)
The X5 with the 4.8l v8 handles as much torque, but I think that is a different system then in the cars.

The steptronic in the xi is the same as the rwd 335 so no difference there. I would guess the weak link will be clutch that sends the power to the front wheels.

Anyone know of any supercharged X5 out there?
