Magically for $5k (to add AWD), the 0-60 drops to 3.5 sec. Also, the ECU is locked/has notification for routine service when it is tuned to flag the car. BMW engineers weren't born yesterday, as it's a cat and mouse game with customers trying to get as much power out of a stock S58.
Only the manual RWD is 480hp, they are still offering 510hp in RWD but you need to get the auto.
