What's up everyone! I just recently purchased a 2005 525i with 130,000 miles 2 months ago. I bought this BMW without doing any research and just trusting the private dealer I bought it from. Keep in mind I knew absolutely nothing about BMW'S models or different series which I now regret badly. I thought I was buying something with at least 350HP and a good amount of torque but little did I know all the car only had was 184 HP and a little bit or torque
. I did a lot of research on different stuff I could add to to make it faster and handle better and I made a list of the MODS I would buy here we go: (ESS TS1 Twin Screw Supercharger STAGE1 5,189.50$) (Eisenmann exhaust system 4x 76mm round tips 1,795.70$) (GRUPEE M/kevlar cold air intake 970$) (ESS transmisson steptronic software upgrade 484$) (Bilstein shock absorbers 4x 643.51$) (Brembo breaks front and rear 7,000$) and so far that is all that I have came up with. So my questions are how much horsepower and torque do you think I would gain from all of this? Should I go ahead and buy all of this? OR..... pay the car off which (I owe 8,000) and keep it completely stock and as soon as i finish paying it off sell it and buy a m5 or 760 li? What are your thoughts everyone what should I do I have a dilema? Anything helps thanks!!!!
