They haven't give me a reply yet. How about we set a preliminary date?

Say, December 2nd or 3rd? Please vote.

Fellow 523i owners, I just got this quote from Tezta for the DMS tuning upgrade. What do you guys think?

Hi Michael,

The 523i program increases by 18hp cost is $10,500. Ive never done this one in HK before but in Singapore its a popular upgrade, owners have felt happy with the program, and as usual you are welcome to try out the program first see whether you like it or not.

Well my 525i is fast for the HK road. I will give that a miss.
No engine mod for me in HK. only in UK.

If I do mod the engine I put a super charger in it for about $50000 which is better value.
But that me

$10,500 is a "OK" price to pay for 18hp! But the 18hp added is on the "peak" or what? I am insterest to see how it's work, if you decided to get this upgrade! BTW, Jon is a member from MBHK and he got himself a very nice CLS with mods!

Don't know what's a good name for us.

How about just make some plate with our screen name on it.

Yup, 525i's power is good enough. So with the DMS tuning, it will bring the 523i to the "old" 525i power level. 177+19 = 196hp.

I saw his Silver CLS on the MBWorld Forum.
