Does anyone know anything about this:
http://burgertuning.com/BMS_Power_Box.html
I'm trying to figure out if this is equivalent to a flash ECU tune from a company like Singh. PBX claims 10hp while Singh claims 17hp. I'm trying to get my car to run closer to a 530. Any advice would be appreciated.

AFAIK BMS Power Box designed for N51 & N52 engine, they may have different kind for N54 but not sure.

No guys he has a M54, not a N54... the M54 was the I6 in the 530 before the N52 came out in 2006-07.
Best to contact Burger.
I don't think it does , from what I've read about it at e90post.com
N51/52/52/53(euro) for the power box
N54 has the JB3/JB+ and many others from other tuners.
