With a 408PS (402hp) twin-turbo V8 under its hood, we wouldn’t call the pre-facelift BMW 550i underpowered, but if you must, Fostla has a new €15,500 (about US$19,000) tuning package for you.

PP-Performance is responsible for the €4,299 (US$5,250) engine kit that includes updated electronics and a new exhaust system among other things to give the 550i a boost to 570PS (562hp) and 800Nm (590 lb-ft), or 10PS (10hp) and 120Nm (89 lb-ft) more than the latest M5.

A BMW M Sport exterior package (it’s no clear if it’s included) together with a foil wrap in Taupe-mat-metallic, tinted lights, gloss-black wrap for the trim elements, new 20-inch Yido Performance YP1 Talia wheels in Michelin Pilot Sports tires size 245/35ZR20 on front and 285/30ZR20 on 5mm spacers, give the 550i a more purposeful appearance.

Fostla completes the tune with H&R lowering springs (-35mm) and a unique foil wrap for the interior trimmings.
