as per title... wanted to know if E60 520i 2.2l with 170bhp can remapped to 195bhp, sorry newbie here just need some advise from oldtimer here. Thanks

 

If you wanted 195hp, you should've went with a 525i and not a 520i.

Word of advice from a person who has had this engine for a while (Prob the only car my family ever had that never went to the dealer other than the regular brake and oil change), keep it as is and enjoy it Don't play with the engine.

HOWEVER, ENJOY MODDING THE BODY AS MUCH AS YOU WANT


But thats just my opinion.

 

+1
Mod any thing on the car but not this engine.

 

Absolutely, don't screw that wonderful flawless engine. The 520i runs like a clock for AGES.

 

And if, after this advice, you still want to fiddle with a remap there is practically no gain to be had from this engine...don't let the "tuners" out there fool you..

An non turbo engine like this isn't worth the effort...invest in a good filter for your OEM box, maybe a RPi scoop and a good flowing exhaust..

...or save up for a higher spec model

 

or better still spend the money on the handling and the car will be faster and cut some sec off the time without adding HP.
my car now is faster than a stock 530 on short twisty road.

I think most track ppl agree that a good mod handing car is better than just little bit more HP.

even if you do get 10% more hp but you can not fully use it because the car handing is not up to it and just wasting power.

 

The 520i engine is like the Johnny Walker ad, its just "keeps walking".
