Probably not. But the work around would involve trading in your 528i for a 535i E60.

She has 22k miles. I don't know if I could trade such a young, flawless 528i for a 535i with possibly more miles.

I couldn't bring myself to do it, especially since I got it in white.

Side Question:
Where can I get a hood with the vents in it?


Thanks for all the replies!!!!

I have same car and researched this subject extensively. Came to the conclusion: HP gain vs money spent doesn't justify the game. If you still want more HP (something close to 530/535) I guess selling 528 is the only option.

My two cents....

Thanks for the input guys. I will not be selling it, though, its just too nice of a car. It has PLENTY of power for me. It was more of a "just wondering" question. Thanks Again!!
