Charge Pipe and BOV upgrade
Hello guys,
I'm a new owner of a 2008 535i. I love this car, and i want to start modding it. The first mod I'm planning is the Charge Pipe and BOV. I've been combing the internet for the correct one, but I always run into 335i parts. Are they interchangeable?

Let's start with what Vendors are you looking at? The "Internet" is not very helpful.
In general, parts are interchangeable because it is the same engine. But, the engine is surrounded by other parts that are not in the same location as the smaller 3 series so sometimes you need to be specific for a 535 and sometimes not. Also, some vendors will just list all the models but when it comes to reality the 5 series takes some custom work they don;t tell you about and if a person has a 5 series xi then all bets are off!
