This one cost only half to a 2010 535i, sounds like a bargain!
Also 399K is asking price, you can try fight for a lower offer as it has higher mileage.
No way i will buy the same car again, but thanks for posting up tho.

'cause now OE 225 ROF isn't able to handle even now stock 306 ps at all :thumbsdown:
As someone said at F10 forum that it always wheel-spinning when full-gas-rollout
not to mentioned the pick-up after cornering, where there your steer was at angle.
You made me thinking to get the Power Box. May be together with the K&N.

Burn out your stock tires bro. You will be digging them anyway. No harm.

The 528i will be the best seller next year, since it's at the middle of lineup the price will be attractive too.
Production start from next month, 2012 528i shall tucked with 2.0 Twin Power, good for 240 ps.
Through sacraifice I6's smoothness, it's 30% more torque at 1250 rpm and the most important, a potential modable engine!

If you don't mind size, I think M3 E90 (not E92) is the best buy too.

OK,! Will do! LOL
If it is not enough, I might take some trade-in tires at tire shop, which are very cheap

How about the comment from the users, is it good?
K&N will not help much, unless you heavily mod with high rev or change the gas/air ratio.
Which must void warranty and I don't suggest to do....

Is that right? I only wanna try coz others said this drop in filter will help without any engine mod. And they said it's reusable so eco-frinedly.

Everyone has the Power Box said they loved it. Much like the SB. Also will have better gas milage. Only option which has HP and torque gain for our NA engine.

The only draw back is the stop/start function which I don't like.
