I just took a look at their site and I can't see a product for the 520d.
Is this a self install unit?
How much does it cost?
Is it easily removable? (for lease car drivers...)
Does it improve performance froma standing start?
Cheers.

hia fella, its the same unit as the 320d 163 bhp it gives it 198 bhp is very easy to fit just plugs in takes
5 mins, i havent floored mine yet but so far theres bags of torque, i spoke to the owner
& he mentioned that for the new 177bhp they were not having much luck!!

That standard computer D shell connector shouldn't really be used in an exposed area like an engine compartment...

Well too late now - I've bought one. I'll give it a go and take a view on the exposure issue when I fit it.
