Welcome to the forum! I have a 528i M Sport on order and I've been researching tuning products to upgrade engine performance and what I've noticed is, there isn't much. You and do a cold air intake system, exhaust and that's about it. There aren't any ECU remapping/tuning as yet... and with the 528i being available in only 3 markets, it looks like most ECU tuners won't develop any remaps. One other mod that you can do is the Sprint Booster. It increases your throttle response significantly and the members of this forum that have added the Sprint Booster rave about it.
i get what ur saying... thanks... but what do you mean by available only in 3 markeTs? Also, i've never heard of a sprint booster. are there any details?

Get the 535i Sport!
Only reason I'm the the 528i over the 535i is because the 535i isn't available where I live.
