Sprint booster does not boost performance. All it does is set the throttle sensitivity or throttle remap. For your car get the BMS PowerBox which actually adds HP & Torque as well as throttle remap. Also get the RPI scoop and BMS Filter combo.

BMS Power Box (PBX) BMW Performance Tuner Chip - BurgerTuning.com

Also, some members here say the cold air intake can actually reduce performance by introducing heat soak.

My advice is to sell it and get a faster car, 530i are not fast. Sorry to burst your bubble.

yup, only thing you'll get more power is supercharger.. If you get extra 20hp for exhaust or some other mod is useless, it's not much faster with such little amout of power..
