Hi E60 friend,

I have installed a powerbox 80000km ago in my 535d : on dyno 371hp 718nm.... unbelievable pleasant to drive my machine.
I have since a while some youtube vids (worldwide most watched under "535d")
I thought that i took a risk but already 2 years of fun prooves the quality.
Some figures
0-100kmh: 5.5s
0-160kmh: 12s
0-200kmh: 18s
0-250kmh: 34s
600nm from 1500 - 4500 rpm
700nm from 2000 - 4000 rpm
about 30% faster then stock
no car ever was faster then my except M5 (at high speed) and Porsche turbo. All the rest has been looking at my backside ..for a short while...

 

Wow sounds like one hell of a fast car. mine has 334hp and goes really well so yours must be amazing!!!

 

What MY is your 535d? 80.000 Km ago and no problems since then? How about particle filter, turbos and related hardware?

 

I have now 115.000km. No problems at all. I can feel that the particle filter is regenerating a few minutes every 1000km or so, thats all. You can feel it a the rpm. The cars stays longer in a lower gear to be able to burn up the particle filter. If you stop the car, you hear it tinteling (cooling down).
But the exhaust is super clean.

 

And how about the 2nd filter? I've heard that fellow 535d racer had to replace it (4.000 EUR) and of course the warranty doesn't cover modifying your engine that much.

Do you remove your powerbox when you go to BMW service?

 

Do not know anything about 2nd filter
Yes, i take it out fore a few days... and then can't wait to put it back in

 

What is the tuning company that produced your upgrade?

 

Abrieb in Germany

 

Hi Pattle!

3/4 of the forum with 545i/550i is faster than your remapped 535d .



If one day I will pass through Belgium we'll see, eh ?





21s dear Pattle, twentyone : from 9s (with powerbraking = cheat) to 31s (206-207 kmh, real 200 kmh) .

Let me some days and you'll see a real 18s (0 to 207 kmh of speedo - edit : secret menu to verify it, there is a submenu with the real speed and my car goes @200 kmh with the speedo at 207)

Hey buddy, do you think to be so smart and we so stupid ?

Andy's 545i, stock as factory, 18.5 seconds from 0 to (real) 200 with no 'powerbrake' that allow you to gain 1 second :

So now pls sit, be calm and understand you don't have 370 HP (and neither 330) and that the 535d is not fast as you think .





Stock 545i : 17s
Remapped 535d : 21s

 

Take the V8 and consider it can do 400-500k kilometers . The supercharge it, tune it at 550 HP . Do you think it would break in 50k km ?
Obviously it would last 200k km at least .
