QUOTE(clawhammer @ Feb 25 2011, 04:02 PM) If yours is a magnesium N52 engine then it's only rated at 231bhp  The LCI version N53 is 272bhp. There isn't any 280bhp engine in a 530i E60, not even the US version. QUOTE(phas3r @ Feb 25 2011, 04:03 PM) depends on what year mines late 2007 bought from the UK and brought back here.2003-2005 231HP 2006-2007 258HP 2008-2009 272HP Ill check later  |

QUOTE(clawhammer @ Feb 25 2011, 04:23 PM) Wrong again hmm yup your right. There are different variants of these engines. We're not talking about Proton Campro which is standard all across the board so please don't wikipedia and read based on text, more research is required.http://wn.com/BMW_E60 Excerpt: # The 530i six-cylinder engine output was increased to 272 hp (up from 231 bhp). The 528i replaced the 525i with (up from ). The 535i replaced the 530i with (up from ). The 530d was upgraded to (up from ). The 535d was upgraded to (up from ). The 540i was introduced with a V8 engine producing . The 550i replaced the 545i in the fall of 2005 with . Added on February 25, 2011, 4:24 pm It's definitely not LCI because the ESS kits are available only for the M54 engines mines m54 just checked  anyway anybody can give me some feedback on ESS? |

QUOTE(clawhammer @ Feb 25 2011, 04:33 PM) M54 has slightly lower bhp/torque compared to N52 530i engines but it's still powerful enough in most cases already asked there...waiting for em to reply A few guys in BMW Malaysia forums has ESS kits on their cars and I think it's a better place to ask if you're serious about knowing more. Asking it here is very much pointless. |

Deciding on maybe Active Autowerke Stage 1 Supercharging kit for my e60 530i and gonna put some 380mm e60 m5 Brakes
brakes gonna cost around 7k supercharging kit is gonna be around 18-20k but with the m5 brakes i gotta get 19inch rims in order to use em AA stage 1 supercharging kit would estimate up my hp to 290-300rwhp(365bhp) and adding 100nm of torque |

QUOTE(GeekinE90 @ Mar 4 2011, 02:10 PM) Do speak to folks who have supercharged their M54. It's most of the time a big letdown compared to the HP increase claims. Hence there are always 2nd hand kits out there for sale. im talking to a few now on bmwforums  |

QUOTE(clawhammer @ Jun 30 2011, 10:18 PM) LOL, how did you know I had an Accord before this? Just a normal E60 530i M-Sport LCI with 19" wheels, nothing much other than that. I want to change the marker to white color, any recommendations? Great another e60 530i owner. Would you like to be added to the owners board? |
