hello, 523 to install original GPS, possible?

[peter thong]

Hi,

Sorry, m new here so ......... not sure how this works.
M driving a 523 that is approaching the end of its warranty and hence m looking to 'improve' it a bit - checking to see if it is possible to install d original GPS system (as with the 525) here in Singapore.

Other thing would be is it also possible to check d 'chip' (no clue what chip it may be) - to up its HP to 215 (as with the 525 too).

Unworthy ex-airforceman (yup, studied engine but sucked at it)

Re: hello, 523 to install original GPS, possible?

There have been many discussions about the two topics you mention:

1. Factory Fitted GPS in iDrive - It is possible to do this but the cost (if memory serves me right) is over S$10k as they have to replace yr LCD etc... its not a small job. Your next alternative is to get a Garmin GPS which may be a little smaller but cost a damn side less than S$10k. Also, BMW/PML charges about $1k for each updated DVD GPS disc. These are released twice a year. The garmin ones are free to download and alot more easy to use.

2. Power Power Power - We all thought that the 523 is a detuned 525. I say thought because they had found that on top of the chip, there were alot more generic parts that were different between the 523 and 525. It would be a terrible waste of money to try and up the power of the engine to match that of the 525.

Good luck!

Juz to add on what was said, 1 of the difference parts is DISA (Differential air intake). It is not juz change the parts. There is also tuning for timing and length of opening of DISA.

In short, juz enjoy ur ride.
