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?

 

budget?

 

0-200

I want to make it atleast a little tourqeier
thanks for the help!

 

sprintbooster

 

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.

 

I must either be naturally lead footed or I'm just not perceptive. When I test drove the '06 525xi and the 06 530xi back to back, I just did not feel the major difference in torque that everybody keeps talking about. I decided that the difference of about $2K in price for same mileage, same year cars was just not worth it to me for an extra 40 HP. I figured that there may be lots of cheaper ways to get an extra 40HP than spending $2K, but I have to say that so far I don't miss the extra 40HP. Is it just perception that people think they have all that extra power or what? Anyway, I have never driven a 545, but I would imagine that I would be able to really feel the difference, but I honestly feel that the 525 can get out of its own way and is agile enough to take on many cars on twisties and highways alike. BTW, to the original poster, top speed is computer limited to 145 on all engines except for the M5 which can go as high as 155.
