Lost in translation, I guess. Not F1, FI
FI = Forced Injection
I would ditch the $2,000+ intake and put that towards a FI setup. Which is what the 530i needs, to keep up with all the higher hp cars. Yes I think the 525i and 530i are slow, sorry my opinion. They are nice driving midsize cars that get good gas mileage, not hp monsters.

yea dropping a Gpower under the hood will save a lot of work, am sure it will be an interesting mod. is this mod popular in the states side?

ESS Tuning has two supercharger setups for $4785 and $6075. Good value when you compare it to the cost of the gruppe m intake. Also, don't get me wrong, the gruppe m is a high quality product. They look fantastic.
