The air filter is a K&N direct replacement, their listed on their website, I will post some pics of the remus later.
As to how Superchips got that much power I'm not sure, the car has now been mapped back to standard superchip of 275bhp but I will see if Superchips have any data I can post.
With regard to draging a standard 535d with my car I think mine has more torque but the 535d will spool up quicker, any 535d owners fancy teseting this.
Next year it would be nice to get a Superchipped 535d running in the Tunergp.
SG535 are you on a track day, let us know how you get on.

The car was running for the day approx 315bhp with 480lb ft torque. Next years event is promising to be much bigger...

Do you have any figures with the 315Hp? 0-60.....
How much Nm is that torque of 480lb ft?

[/quote]The car normally runs a superchip map of 275bhp 460lb ft torque, the map was specially written by superchips just for this event, long term use of this map would be harmfull to the car. The standard map has been on the car for 20,000 miles with no problems. The car also has a K&N relacement filter and Remus Exhuast

[/quote]It would be nice to see a drag between that 530d ( with 275 bhp) and the stock 535d. How much is 460lg ft in NM? Is there a relationship between lb ft and NM? Thanx
[snapback]174710[/snapback]
[/quote]This is what I found : 1 lb/ft = 1.35582 Nm So 460lbFt would be 623.7Nm , thats a lot of torque !
[snapback]174716[/snapback]
[/quote]Or, since he stated 480 lb ft torque that would be 650 Nm (rounded).

Nice figures from 530d!
I'm just curious about your Remus. How does it sound on Diesel?
I'm thinking of buying sportier rear muffler, but yet haven't heard one live....
Maybe some sound clips? Anyone?

There is very little noise difference inside the car, I have been told take you can hear it when the car is going passed other cars at full trottle. My main reason for putting it on was to get rid of the turned down pipes

OK, I see. So you can't get diesel to sound even distantly like petrol engine?
I already have straight pipes in my car, so the look is ok.
But I guess, It could use somewhat larger pipes than regular. At least 535d has bigger pipes than 530d... And it sure looks more hot
