Ah, wow!
No iDrive flashings or something else ?
Good!
Yes, I have another one : what about new camshafts ?
How many HP the car would gain ?
Better, *where*, from 1000 to 7400 rpm the would engine gain ?
Would it lose torque at lows ?
Any problem with everyday use ?
I opened a thread here : http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=44831
that nobody cared because I wasn't talking about a grill .

Bye, thank you!

Hi AlexFW,

a. There is a group buy for the RDSport headers and cats here: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=44825
b. In speaking with the RDSport, with their new modified headers and cats remap is not necessary.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

When did the modified headers and cats come out?

The air intake looks pretty standard to me, did they changed the air filter as well?

Uh ... Only the light ?
I have to replace the stock headers & catalysts with custom ones ...

Can the dealer reset that light ?
