Hey guys..

Just got invited here by a member, and wanted to say hello. Was wondering how many of you guys with 535's are running a Tune. If anybody has any questions about Tuning or the N54 engine please feel free to PM me or post here

I believe the N52 designation is for the non-turbo version, and is either the 2.5 or 3.0L version.

The N54 is the 3.0L twin turbo that is shared between the 135/335/535 and X6

Welcome Mike

I'm running DINAN on mine...

I'm always interested in seeing what new is available for the 535 since there really isn't much out there. So tell me..Any interesting products available for the 535?

FMIC by chance?

CODE3 is testing their intercooler on the 5-series platform and I believe they expect it to fit well. I just shot them an email to see what the progress is The CODE3 intercooler along with the Dinan intercooler are IMO the best ones on the market as they both use the famous spearco core.

I just wish DINAN would make one for the 535

I don't believe they really have plans to do it either. 535 is definitely bottom of the food chain when it comes to mods....

Spoke to CODE3 and they will get a 535 in their shop in the next few weeks, and I guess we'll find out the ETA for the intercooler then..
