Umm theres plenty I htink you just might not have looked hard enough..

as for the 535i.. the best chip out there from all the ones to choose from Active Autowerke, Vishnu, Rd Sport and a few more I say Active Auto's is the best chip out there.. Yes Procede does give you the flexibility of self tuning however the most proven HP/torque results are soming from the Active chip.. So thats the one im going with.. And I know Active will be coming out with Upgraded turbos for the 335 so probably expect some for the 535.. I assume numbers will be anywhere from 500-700hp.. Now these numbers might sound nuts but given the 535 has 300 stock hp.. with an Active chip (+80hp alone) and exhaust and few other minor mods will be running at 410-425hp alone.. with adding bigger turbos will greatly increase the hp.. and I know when its all said and done and all stages of their upgraded chargers are out the numbers will look like the above stated.. Can anyone say ba by M5? LOL
no 550 needed as the numbers of the active chip stated above beats the 550's and does it cheaper
Don't know what the boost numbers are for 335/535 but back in the day of the Buick GN which from the factory came with a limiter of 5-7 .lbs by going to aftermarket wastegate you could dial in 10-15 .lbs and makes tremendous power. Just wondering if BMW system uses similar technology to limit power?

Thanks everybody...excellent information!! II'd certainly be interested in a tune and better flwoing intake...probably will stop there as they are both easily reversed (priot to dealership visits) and I have had excellent results using tunes on my 4.6 and 5.4L Mustangs in the past.

Great forum!!

PS I live in SoCal, US and will update my profile..missed tah t1st time around.
