My Ride: BMW E60 530i , Silver with leather Air Con iDrive 17" Breyton Rims with Dunlop Sp Sport tyres (M-Tech Bodykit and rims WANTED)
Alfa Romeo 147 TS1.6 , Black with Air Con 17" Multi Spoke alloys with Bridgestone RE040 tyres
Toyota MR-S 1.8 VVTI , Lagoon Blue with Red leather Air Con 15" standard alloys with Toyo tyres
Toyota Celica 1.8 VVTI, Lagoon Blue, Air Con, 16" Standard alloys with Kuhmo KU31, EBC Green Stuff
Guys, the RPI scoop that i have got has proven to have 4.3bhp gains on my 530i.
I think i will not wait for the V2 scoop (Don't even know if there has one), so will get it fitted at AK47 place

i don't get it, i thought the 530i was pushing over 240 stock, and valvetronic ones abt 258?
or is it becos in the USA the 530i is detuned?(like all jap cars in hk are detuned v jap domestic market)

170?? thats a figure for <2005 520i
i don't get it, i thought the 530i was pushing over 240 stock, and valvetronic ones abt 258?
or is it becos in the USA the 530i is detuned?(like all jap cars in hk are detuned v jap domestic market)

Post 05 has 258bhp and 08 LCI 530i has 272bhp
Mine is late 03 car so only got 231bhp with 300nm torque, so my car will only get approx 170bhp from stock
With the RPI scoop and sebring exhausts, i might able to get around 176-180bhp
Not impressive innt?
