yup, if its any help i can hear mine with the window up ,that might be my heavy right foot though , the whistle actually starts at 2000rpm regardless of throttle pressure, this is where the full
torque comes in.

congrats, very nice car, spec? pics?
cheers dude

Will get my signature updated shortly - its a silver 530d with full black electric sports leather, 18inch wheels etc its the 218bhp model but I suspect it is probably running around 265-270bhp now

To do list:

1) B&W remap - DONE!
2) Xenon light conversion this weekend
3) Angel Eye LED upgrade this weekend
(let me know if anyone wants me to do a install guide on these - assuming it hasnt already been done)
4) Rolling road test (next week or so!)
5) poss m sport bumper install

welcome!!!

the 535 has a turbo...and if you have a 530.......unless you have added a turbo after production, is just a straight 6...............regardless of whether it is diesel. i could be wrong though
530d TurboDiesel ... 530d has single turbo ... 535 has twin turbos ... we're not treated to e60 versions of oilburners in the USA !

btw - how loud is the whistle?

Im probably worrying about nothing and the car seems perfectly healthy ? assuming I have a leak or pressure loss am I likely to loose pressure dramatically or would be a slow unnoticeable loss?
