Hello all, i own a 535d e60 and i am curious a bit about the power it has , it starts to be slow for me these days, my question is , how much torque can the automatic transition handle , i heard its 600 , if so there is no point chipping it , or? can you advise?

...i personally know cases that are above 700 nm, with more than 380 hp (faster than my car :mad: )...but noone will give you any guarantees about chpping, remapping or any other power mods...

700 nm is a lot , i am afriad if'll do that it will break the gearbox in a couple of months , or it wont? i dont know , i think the best way will be trying but buying a new automatic gearbox for 2500euros is not my dream :D

Spawner,

The gearbox is a torque converter rather than a clutch plate system, so is designed for massive amounts of torque. Do a search here for auto clutch failure to see how often they break. I have now done 225,000 Km and the clutch has been worked hard and is still fine.

Good luck,
Mike

I like the sound of this as my 535d lci is going in for its custom map tomorrow...

Mine has 760nM on an LCi with no problems
