Keith when are you doing the re-map? and the BMC air box?
how much power will that ramp up?
Just checked with the SKN website, they claimed my 530i will increase 19bhp to 250bhp with the torque increased to 325Nm, cost around 950.00EURO

And Dav's 525i will have 20bhp increase from 192bhp to 212bhp, and the torque will increase 25Nm to 270Nm respectively, cost around 900.00EURO

Both prices are according to SKN website, i know smartauto tuning are their authorized dealer in HK, but not sure they can be trust or not:

SMARTAUTO TUNING LTD.Shop R, G/F., International Ind. Centre, 2-8 Kwei Tei St., Fo Tan, N.T..

that gangsta in Fotan who drives the black s500? what a tosser, maybe you can trust him to re-map
your lawnmower.
what happened to his brembo's, not work or what?

re-map - guys i am having probs with my insurance co with the mods i have, they won't endorse my
policy, only acknowledge by tel that they received a list from me.
bottom line- if there is an accident and they can prove any of the mods caused a part in it=illegal, i have to foot the bill, and void all my other accident insurances and the car insurance(they chase you back after they have paid).
so count me out till I sort that out.

7 series - the reverse of the card is the invitation from the boss.
might give it a miss, too old image for me.Nothing special abt the car, just another Boss's express.

X6 might be more interesting for us lads
