Hi Kahhao,

TUNE YOUR NON-TURBO BMW WITH THE

MORE HORSEPOWER! & MORE TORQUE!
Plus Adjustable Throttle Pedal Re-Mapping for Snappier Response

The BMS Power Box is a piggyback style performance chip for the BMW 2.5L & 3.0L N51/N52/N53 6 cylinder motors. It features easy installation and removal, gas pedal switching between 7 performance maps, throttle remapping for snappier response, and dyno gains of up to 10+ Horsepower and 10+ lb-ft Torque. Finally you can enjoy the car how it should have come from the factory.

• Up to 10+ More Horsepower & 10+ More lb-ft Torque
• Throttle Re-mapping for Better Response / Reaction
• Removes "dead area" delay in gas pedal
• 7 Different Maps / Settings
• Can be turned on and off from inside the car
• Gives even more Power with intake/exhaust or other mods
• Plug & Play, No cutting or splicing
• Made in U.S.A.

Installation takes around 20 minutes using basic hand tools and is completely reversible with no cutting of wires. Simply extract the factory wire and replace it with the corresponding BMS Power Box wire. Installation is very discrete allowing most customers to leave the unit installed for basic service is NOT TRACEABLE through the factory ECU/DME or the BMW dealerships equipment and does not hurt fuel economy during normal driving.

Dynos below show horsepower and torque increase at the wheels over stock.

Re: E60 questions

Perhaps we should help all newbies here by driving their cars to the various mod places listed everywhere in this forum and help them mod up their cars before returning to them? All they do is pay for the respective mods...easier for everyone and newbies get to enjoy their newly modded rides without the need to ask so many asked-n-answered-to-death questions

We should have such a service in this forum. Shd be very well received. Ex gratia of coz

We can call this service "Spoons 'R Us"

That's what newbie expect old bird iike u mah.

IMHO, buy 523 to mod for more pwr. Waste time waste $$$. The only reason i bought E39 520 because i can't find 525/530.

Totally agree... I should have bought the E60 530i instead of the E60 525i 4.5 years ago. Now still regret but what to do, $$$ no enough. The 530i's OMV was 79K!
 
Re: E60 questions

And so I learnt my lesson when I sold my e60 n52b25 and bought f10 n52b30
It's just money better spent, the additional $1 spent on a better engine saves me $1.50 on mods (plus time) but gives me $2 of joy & satisfaction.
 
Re: E60 questions

Every time I feel my car not powerful enough, will jus drive my other car which is a punto then will appreciate Liao :nehnehhh:

Exactly! In the pursuit of more power, we forget the basic thing when we get into the driver's seat...i.e. to enjoy the ride.

Everything also want power, everything also wan speed.. go join F1 as a racer

Touche MW!!

For me, the fun of zhnging the car is for safety & individuality. IF want to chiet then will get a COE Honda Civic and zhng the hell out of it, prob cost less than a brand new set of Brembos!!

Power is not everything........ but its a close 2nd haha!!! :lol2:

I believe that many of the senior bros here are really objective and responsible with their advice which speaking as a relative newvbie is very much appreciated. Only thing that would put the icing on the cake would be us "newbies" to take the responsibility to research the forum to see whats good and not for our respective rides rather than take the easy way and just ask for help.

Nonetheless I'll stand by my point previously made, the guys here are really patient and helpful and are a treasure trove of knowledge and experience!

oops OT too much liao!!!

BMW-SG Rocks!!
Peace Out!! :goodup:
