Are there any performance mods for the 04 530 yet ie drilled and slotted rotors green stuff brake pads, performance mods that actually work?

(crickets chirping)

I'll watch this with interest. My research has found very few. Even the Dinan upgrades seem to yield very little for the money.

Seems more like the locust plague back in the biblical days LOL oh well I guess I see a 335 in my future. Its funny because my bmw was a ti plenty of was to mod it out and stuff but could not fix all the rusting problems. Brought a 90 525ia what a slug and but some mods did come out but after haveing a engine built by Rick Hanneraus in Ca i was satisfied with the performance, but all during that time from the 90's on I could look at a dinnan book and other mags and see alot of things for the 530 engines so once it purchase a 3.0 liter 4 years later and still nothing seems to be on the horizon but a newer bmw.Well at least it looks good

Nothing huge to be gained engine performance wise. An exhaust will give a bit more power and a nice sound. I recomend Dinan suspensions, I had the stage 2 on my M3 and loved it. I am getting a quaife limited slip diff, that will get the available power down. The best performance increase comes from reducing weight, especialy unsprung weight. Get some quality light weight wheels (I'm a big BBS fan) and the car will drive completely different (BETTER).

If you have a lot to spend and you really want power... VF engineering supercharger...

get the sprintbooster.
that will make the car faster, not much but 1000 times more fun

Thanks guys if you look at my sig or gallery you will see that I already have 19 inch staggared BBS RXII's on the car I also have h&r coilovers on it also. Just ordered ebc red stuff pads and slotted and dimpled rotors to install back on in the summer after the wheather breaks.

As far as sprint booster I have a 6 speed so I am not sure that you can install those on manuals? I would also like a SS kit and remove the CDV, warrenty is up and car is paid for so we will see how things go by summer.

Any more suggestions keepum comming
