Hi all.
I?ve recently become an owner of a black BMW 530iA -03/04. I?ve just had for a couple of weeks and so far I?m very satisfied with it
The only problem so far is with the digital road maps but maybe I will have reason to get back to that issue...

Enjoy the car & the forum !

Welcome & thanks for the pictures. I still need to take care of that myself Waiting for some good weather and a clean car to take some pics & post them on the forum.

How many Km's on your 530i when you bought it ?

CU,
Tom

Many thanks for the respons The car had 88000 km on the meter when we bought it
This is my first car with a 6-cyl engine and I must say that I really like it
Our plan is to change the chip in the engine and gain an extra 19 bhp and 25 Nm, not a major change but...
We are also planning on changing the exhaustpipe but we haven?t decided on what model yet.

Thanks again for the nice respons
I have a question. Have any of you made an upgrade (remap) of the chip to gain the extra bhp? The engine in question is the M54B30 in our BMW 530iA -03/04. After the upgrade we will gain an extra 22 bhp and 30 Nm

Welcome (v?lkommen)

Nice polish on your car !
And you have a sunroof Not a common option.
But I?m a bit confused. You say "we" all the time. You must learn that in this forum it is always YOUR car

Please tell if you find any decent muffler. Or are you only going to change the rear tip ?

C ya
