Default New Guy Need Help

First post here guys, glad to be here.

Just got a new to me, 2007 550i and am wondering what aftermarket stuff is available to squeeze more out of the engine. Yes, I know they run good stock but I'm wanting more.

Thanks in advance

Bob

How much money you got???

Just get the ESS supercharger....

Kidding.... Unless you got the cash. I went Dinan becqause I was still under warranty, but gains are modest.

ESS has a flash as well.

Thanks for the replies guys and yes, I did see the ESS on line. I was hoping to not spend that kind of dough. I have a Kenne Bell on a different car of mine but was able to find that one used...on line.

Just wanting to see what others have done and to what success.

Poser...my cars an automatic.

Thanks

Bob

Nice to see another guy on this side of the Sound. Im up in Bangor we can meet up sometime and I can show you the "cheap" mods for more power. Intake, exhaust and lighter rims.

I know on youtube there's a guy that makes a sport mode button to give you better transmission response for the automatics.

Here's the link:

It's really easy to make the button yourself.
