I keep seeing ads for the new line of performance parts being rolled out at the BMW dealerships. Ads say that initial availability is for 1-series and 3-series. Does anyone know if they plan anything for our 5-series (and if so, when)?

As you can tell from many of the discussions on this forum not many 5ers mod their cars, so probably not enough money in it for BMW to do.

:clap: Good one!!!!!

yes 100$ right.. when i first got my 5er i went nutz lQQkin for mods... mostly cosmetics.... a cold air intake or exust.... but thats about it... for the tt u have the flash and thats more then enough... for 1800 bucks thats a score :thumbsup: .. AND WHAT A DAM DIFF IT MAKES WOW!!!!!! :wow:

I have an 08 550 and would love to have quad exhausts like the m5. Have any of you done that and is there any performance change or is it just cometic?

I think that they should make Roundel logo OEM Truck Nutz. I know that I would buy a pair.

many of the cars you see on this forum have that...just search around buddy...

o and its mainly for the "sound" and the cosmetics, but you do get some performance gains depending on your setup (i.e. whether you connect it all the way to the intake or not, etc.)...

I am saying just not enough modded cars for BMW to roll out a performance line. I would think if you are performance minded you are part of this forum, so we would show a disproportionately high ratio of modded cars.

like trojan.525i said mostly noise... with a little gain in power not enpugh to really notice a diffrence.... im waiting for the tt v8 5er.... hopefully danan keeps the program for the car..

I heard that the "BMW Performance Parts Program" is not doing well and that is the reason that BMW leaned on a lot of dealers to drop products like Dinan and SSTT. The problem is that BMW is out of touch with it's customer with it's product offerings IMHO. For us it really sucks because (other than wheels and body kit) they don't offer anything for the 5 series. I am going to discuss this with my local dealer and see if they will consider handling Dinan again. They dropped Dinan in order to apparently support the factory performance program, I'm going to ask them how much factory stuff they have actually sold. To directly answer your question, I have not heard anything about factory performance parts for our E60's.
