You were right. What a wealth of information! Thanks.


I've never done any of these things, except dumped the TRX tires, but here are some things people do. (Look these up in the archives for discussions- lots of debate):
Upgraded ECU chip (JimC, Autothority, Dinan)
Lightened flywheel
3.46:1 or 3.73:1 differential (stock is 3.25:1 for your car)
MAF conversion (Split Second & others)

Brake upgrades (components from other BMW models bolt right in).
Wheel & tire upgrades (consensus- dump TRX). I did this & recommend it. Modern tires are so much better in so many ways.

I was looking more for do-it-yourself info rather than a tuner site. Thanks anyways!


I'm looking for a definitive guide on adding all-around performance (mainly engine) to a 535is. Does anyone know of such a source? Thanks
