Any aftermaket engine parts for 525i

steviewonder · 02-26-2011, 07:21 PM

Anyone know of any good aftermarket parts to make a 525i a little more quick and add some power to it or any good exhausts for it?

Unfortunately BMW made the N52 virtually impossible to upgrade. And because the N53

sorry to crash your party bro but i got a n52 and i can guarantee none of these mods will harm your car in anyway. RPi scoop replaces the need for an intake by clipping right inside your grill. K&N or BMC filter goes inside your stock airbox and only way u can mess that up is if you tweek with the MAF sensor.

Did you mess with the MAF sensor or anything else or just switch the air filters

i have a 530i (m54) and ive done the rpi scoop, bmc airfilter, both with no problems whatsoever. and im pretty sure the powerbox is only for n52/n54 engines so we're shit outta luck on that one

I have the RPI scoop, sprintbooster, and K&N...No problems at all and it has been 2 years. This seems to be a very conservative forum, but if you go to e60.net, these mods are on 1 out of 2 cars! You will be fine... don't worry!

BTW, N52 here as well!
