so ESS and BMS powerbox are the same thing? i have heard the BMS is actually not good for your car. i don't know where i heard that and it wasn't really all that validated i remember, but i figured someone can give me a better explanation as to whether it is safe.
also, could you do it and still have warranty coverage, would the dealer know?

let's be realistic, a scoop and filter is not really gonna give you much power.
a tune? nothing you will probably feel.
and exhaust? the sound will make you think you are getting more power than you actually are.
if you really want power, get a bigger motor, or a turbo or supercharger kits, but those aren't cheap, and you wont get your money back from them when it comes time to sell.

Forced induction is the way to get maximum value for you dollar. Too bad there is only one option for me and my 550i.....sell it and get an M5.

Hello everyone.
I guess it is one of the first posts.
I wanted to add that it is worth to get RPI Scoop, BMC Filter, some Exhaust ( I have only got installed Super Sprint back box)and ECU reflash. I have got 525i which originaly have 218 HP with all these mods I made 252 HP and I do feel difference before and after

So I'm clear, I'm not suggesting that aftermarket products, like RPI, do not provide positive HP results. It's just very expensive to add 10-20whp to any NA motor. Full disclosure--I plan to buy the RPI ram-air kit and sprintbooster V2 (no HP gain).
I'm on the fence as it relates to exhaust.
