Nothing short of a supercharger will make your 525 faster. Here's a thread about a 530 supercharger but it also mentions 525 as well: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=32498

If you're thinking remapped ECU, CAI, throttle body, flywheel, etc... I don't think I have seen anything for the 525 either.

And,

My Ride: 530i M-sports package, carbon black,Beige leather dakota, Steptronic, active steering, anti-theft alarm, sunblinds for rear window and back seat window, interior and exterior mirror with anti-dazzel function, poplar brown dark, comfort seats, PDC, extended lights package, Hi-Fi loudspeakers, Innovation Package (contains Xenon, Headlight washers, adaptive headlights, Comfort access), automatic air-conditioning, professional radio, individual high gloss satine chrome,Sunroof

In my opinion a supercharger is too expensive for what you get.I mean 44 extra hp for 3500euros

ESS tuning offers more hp but 6000euros

The reliability is the biggest issue here though.How sure can you be in the end?
