      I was satisfied, but if I did it all over again and had the money, I would have done a S50.

            Turbo M42 has got to be a fun ride, unless in heavy traffic.

                I'm satisfied. I didn't go s50 cuz I'm broke. haha. But there are things to fix how fast you go with an m50.

                  I love my m52. And as luke mentioned it may be better for me, but someday I definitely want more power.
