BMW 520I E60 mods
So i recently bought my first car the BMW 520I 2004 i love the car but i want to do something with the performance i was thinking about chip tunning though the mechanic said since the car doesnt have a turbo motor it´s not worth it you will only gain 15 HP and 21nm torque now im looking for a turbo kit that is compatible with the 520I. if anyone else have some performance mods that are compatible with my car please share them
Edit 1: so i´ve searched around for a m54b30 engine but didn't find any that are worth my while, if there are any other alternatives you can suggest please comment down below |
What year do you have. To me I would have spent a little more for a bigger engine model since that's what you're going to spend to get the current car to what you want.

:welcome: to the forum. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do with the 520 or 530 series engines. They are what they are. As seanjordan20 suggests, you'd have to have a 535, 540 or 550 in order to make it worth your while. On the plus side, your fuel economy is much better than with the other models.

The 2 biggest ways for HP are displacement and forced induction. Not sure how easy it is to source a M54B30 where you are but that'll give you a big jump in power. Beyond that some ZHP cams and a tune will be the max you can get reasonably

easiest way is to buy another E60 - don't waste money trying to get more HP on your current ride
