My lease is up next year, 12/2010...we'll see what I'll be parting out...for sure the jb+.....

don't get too excited for numbers and mods on the 535 vs the 135 and 335, bolt on mods like downpipes and intercooler's are not available for the 535i, which will limit the gains from the jb3.....

I do know member My535i (gophaster on n54tech.com) is running a jb3 and meth set up....
Damn no downpipe! - I was told there was. We need to make some Intercoolers too!!

Will you be going back to another 5 series then?

I will check out the posts by gophaster and see what numbers he is putting out. Are you saying that running a jb+ is good enough due to lack of additional mods outside of Meth?

"good enough" is very subjective. Good enough for me is a slight increase over stock, down low my e60 pulls harder, but minimal difference up top....just feels more "torquey".

There is one member on n54tech.com (1BAD535) that actually hollowed out his stock dp's. I also believe AR design is putting out some Dp's for the 535i (check 5posts). No FMIC due to the oil lines that run underneath our stock IC.


Get the jb3 if you want the best of both world's: a transformed DD, plus a car to run/drag if that's your thing.

Member dbae1978 had a 535i with a jb3 prior to getting his M5, I'm sure he wouldn't mind a pm from you.

Have you looked into the RPi 535i exhaust?

I thought I saw something about AR putting out some DP's for the 535i. Drag is not my thing but I like a little more punch and since your last post I have been reading about gophaster and a few things over at N54 and I would consider Meth/Water injection now.

My wheels hookup also is a RPI hookup. I will see what happens. I am trying to keep the mods more to aero's and wheels but I have a BAD feeling about this The more I read over at N54 the more my wallet needs to go into hiding.

I will PM the few that you mentioned. Thank you for the heads up. You have been most helpful.
