So the i assume the RPI sccop with the BMC.. and realisticly speaking what is the highest HP to be expected from a 545i i was shooting for upper 300's. i mean thats a fast car, not super fast sounds good ( well as soon as i bolt on the RPI set up) but all in all i don't want or need a race car.. if i wanted that i wouldn't have purchased a four door i would have kept my e46. I wanted a sedan with a punch and i think the 545i meets that criteria it may not be a punch from GSP like that of the M5 but i think its enough.

I removed my AFE 1 month ago and found out that I gained about 1 mpg moving back to the original setup. Believe me I did not change my driving style one bit and found out the AFE gains are complete farce.
