I'm still curious as to why there isn't an X5 Engine / Exhaust / Drivetrain Modification subforum, but I digress.
Now that I've got your attention...I have yet to find a thread where anyone has done this, but I'm curious the gains to be had by doing so since the parts are different, the F10 puts out more power, etc etc. Just need to find an M5/M6 that's been wrecked now

Seems we'll ultimately never hit their power levels due to high compression and Valvetronic, but at the same time the S63 itself has room for improvement via factory parts. Things like gaskets for the turbos and headers are compatible, so seems there's nothing stopping from swapping those on. Intercoolers seem like they'd be a harder swap due to space constraints, but I'm not looking into my engine bay right now, so I'm not sure. Part of what prompted this search is wanting to see if an MSR intake could fit on our trucks, but then again that'd require me looking inside the engine. If anything I'm just posting this since I took a few minutes to pull up all the info...while at work
