very light and easy handling. I think its the sport package that helps a notch as it uses some of the ///M parts in the chassis as far as I understand and the ///M type exterior and ///M steering wheel that came all stock from Germany in this car. Though others E60 none "Sport Limited Edition" gets "built" (assembled and taxed as parts not like a car means, less % to pay) are from Kaliningrad in Russia 
I heard that they say apparentlly Kaliningrad is considered best built quality in the world of the E60 although that makes me really curious! How can something be better built then the country it originally originates from! 
Its like an AK74 & AK47 Made in China wont compare to the AK's made in Russia as our steel differs and Russian steel best suits the AK best ( I dont know if the AK's story is true but I've heard so... )

SB works awesome it eliminates lag time between stop and your foot to the floor, it instantly thinks your foot is on the floor even when it only a 1/4 of the way down, it does not add power tho. It does what it's supposed to do and does it well, some love it others find it unnecessary, that line is usually divided at 6/8cil, alot of people are selling them (including myself) not cuz they don't work but are changing/selling there cars. I cannot find mine tho it's packed in a box somewhere 
by the time I do I'm gonna hav to give it away

Exhausts will make it sound better, but will not give you extra power.
really?

This is the first time I've heard of the BMS power box so I went to check it out. Apparently it is not available for a 530 or did I read the info wrong?

You're right, I did miss that line. It is the only place on the page that mentions the 530 though. Since I am happy with the throttle wouldn't it be just as good to get a remap done? Claims are a little higher for HP with a tune but less torque. Prices are close enough, $60 difference but this I could probably install myself versus having to drive 4 hours to get a tune.
