same yr as my e90. fairly sure 525 in hk should be a 2.5 w the 3 stage manifold. the easiest way to check is your vehicle registration, which shows the engine size of your car. note that the power gain in this mod comes from the 3 stage manifold, the ecu flash is required to provide the necessary control (believe to resonate w the engine revs). in other words, if you have the 3 stage manifold, you must have the ecu flash already too. note that 2.5L w/o the 3 stage manifold only has 16x bhp. if you are interested to find out more yourself, can check in realoem.com using your vin # and compare part #s of the manifold from other e60 models, or alternatively can get somebody to do the work for you.
good luck!
good luck!

Try stiffer anti-roll bar, it would transform your car's handling which is more direct and more enjoyable.
