Hmmm, let's see. The M5 offers 15 hp for $7300. Let's bet that they will offer 12 hp for 6500. Utter garbage for either car. Although I can't advise one to break an laws, if you plan to use your car off road on a track, spend $375 for cat delete pipes and get 25-30 hp. That's a 40x improvement, yes 4000% better hp/$ ratio...
Despite this they'll almost for sure offer this (they have hinted at different models, more performance levels, etc in the past for all new M cars) and they'll be a decent take rate. Obviously they'll also enjoy near infinite profit margins (except for the fact that this tune will likely come with some actual physical parts, lowering their margin from infinite to absurd)
