Doesn't ESS have an SC for the 530? Wonder how the two compares.

Well I know my modded 530i is uncomparable to the M5 but look at it this way. My car bone stock with 56,000 miles is worth no more than 24,000 + 10,000 that i spend for the mod. Thats $34,000. I would have to put AT LEAST ANOTHER $10k down to get an M5. We are talking about an additional 10k here at least. I wouldnt want an M5 that is out of warranty or close to it because you cant get extended warranty on those i dont think

Very nice mod...I agree that this will definately wear your motor down faster...Also you voided any kind of warranty you have left....I know here in cali, there is NO WAY that will pass smog....So IMHO, I think I would have personally went another route, espically do to the smog laws out here....G/l and can't wait to see the dyno #'s!!

You don't have to explain yourself. The d-bag comments made by many in this thread is the kind of stuff that has killed this forum. It is no longer what it once was.

well said.
There are 2 kind of BMW drivers:
1) Stickers on stock (specially engines). Of course some of them complain to modders because they believe the BMW engineers or/and for the warranty.
2) modders who enjoy modding their BMW especially with out of warranty and many of them want their cars to be unique like Jashy did on his 530i SC!
it is a free world!
and I can't wait for the videos (against a modded 535i, M3 and M5) and dyno runs!
