I was reading 1addicts and its possible to do the golf tee mod on a 128i so I was wondering if this is possible on a 528i?

If the exhaust on your 528 has the vacuum hose connected to it, I dont see why not. If I remember right, I know that the 545 or 550 has the valve, so does the 335 and the 7series. 528's, im not too sure.

Thanks for the reply Sam! I have to check tomorrow if it does or not. I am thinking if the N52 128i has it so should the N52 528i? I guess either way I will find out tomorrow.

i know this has even been done for early e60's..so should be able to do on your 528...BTW, this has been discussed a few times already, a few threads might come up when searching under "golf tee"

however most will probably lead you to this post anyway

Many congrats on the car! Got mods planned for it?

According to this https://5series.net/forums/topic/844...3989.....thats the only way us E60's can do this mod? No trunk access like the 1/3 have? That looks complicated lol.
