Hi everyone, new to the board.

Tried to check and search hp upgrades to a 530xi 2007.

I see Rpi scoop, bmc filter, ecu upgrades. Where do you get all these things?

Also exhausts?

Need good products and mods, not cheaped out.

Wanted to add 30-50 hp...is there anything else out there?

Thank you guys

Jon

PS: Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

Welcome fellow 530 xi!!!!!!! You will need to talk to Nerweezy from Trinity Motosports. He can get you any and everything. Sounds like you are right on track by coming here!

Hello! You can get the RPI scoop from Trinity.....http://www.trinityautosport.com/indu...0ixi-p-56.html. For the ECU...you can BMS powerbox for the N52 engines....http://www.modbargains.com/BMS-Power...-328i-528i.htm..

For the exhaust I would suggest Magnaflow...I am looking to get one myself....hope this helps. Happy holidays!


Not sure why you cant click on the links so just copy and paste them into your browser....

thank you guys very much.

c's bimmer - these mods you did "Custom ECU Remap / Sprint Booster / AFE Stage 2 XP Cold Air Intake / Magnaflow Exhaust w/ 3" Tips"

where did you get the custom ecu remap....what is a sprint booster, what does it do, and where do you get it?

the afe was it better then the rpi scoop?

magnaflow vs a eisen or meister exhaust...why you choose it...how did your magnaflows sound and was there a drone inside the cabin? magnaflows have a tendency of having drone when cruising.


also interior - "Hardwired V1 / ProClip iPod Cradle / E60.net Window Clings" what are all these things.

thank you!!

you wont get 30-50 hp with those mods you mentioned, and will have spent a good piece of change.

hate to say, that if you want more power, get a different car.... 535, 550, m5

Fastest way to get HP gains on a 530i, sell it and get a 535i or 550i.
Don't waste your money with superchargers etc. on a 530i.
