I just recently bought my 525i, and its just not cutting it speed wise..
Anyone know how to make it Faster? What are my options?
Someone told me to chip it, intake it, what do you guys think?

My Ride: 2008 550I LOADED, all options except HUD and NV
RPI Scoop and filter, a little more HP never hurts and it's around $189. Sorry bro, but with a $200 budget there isn't much to do. Either Sprint booster or RPI scoop and filter. Good luck

The only thing to do is to supercharge it if you want any power gains you would be actually able to feel. Sorry for the bad news but the next cheapest route would be to upgrade to a 530i, 545i or 550i.
