Hello gentlemen.

Just quick question regarding the difference between "06" 525i and 530i.

both are using 3.0L engine correct?

then what is the difference between those two models?

just ECU and the intake?

Is there anyway that we can convert 525i to 530i?

or somewhere close to it by improving the toque on 525i?

hehe please

Thank you!!!

Depends where you are in the world. I think in many (if not all) non-US markets, the 525i is still a 2.5L engine. If you're in the US, then cars manufactured starting March have the 3.0L engine.
