Don't waste your money. Put the funds toward saving up for a 550. Seriously.

See, that's the thing... E60's are now over 12 years old and have become affordable, so they are in the reach of many. Once you bite, the bug hits you to mod and improve performance. The 528 and the 530 engines are very different from the 535 and 550, so you're deluding yourself if you think you can just slap on some equipment and reach higher performance levels. It just ain't happening.

I would have to agree with Jay, and plus if you bought it low now sell it high and use the gains to invest in a 550 or better.
