Through talking to one of the two custom turbo producers for the S63, the turbo mounting flange is different between the X5M and M5. The M5 has better turbos, so it'd require both turbos and headers, figuring out the water feed lines (both bolted to the turbos and thebmetal M5 lines overtop the engine vs the rubber lines on the X5M) and then maybe some other fitment isssues like wastegates. Not to say I'm NOT still interested, but it's not just a bolt and go swap for the headers.
