Zum 520i(changed my name from John CM Sum)

Hey John,
Most of the common mods listed in this forum are as follows:
1.Jim C Chip (sharking it)
2.Lowered suspension
3.+2/+3 wheel upgrade
4.K&N (although some disagree,me as well)
5.Stiffer anti-roll bars
6.Strut tower brace
7.ICE (in car entertainment)
While a lot can be done to the Japanese made cars in terms of mods,the Bimmer can do without,as it is already a tuned up saloon IMHO.But the fact that your model is the smaller 2 litre straight six compared to our American counterpart with a minimum 2.5 litre and common 3.5 litre models,you will find your car to be underpowered.Nothing beats capacity.I am thinking of doing a 2.5 litre transplant to have that extra oomph to my car.

moots '90 520i(your neighbour from KL)

Hi people, new to yur forum. Recently bot a '89 520i. While the car is more exec type car, me being the car crazy guy needs more to work on. I'm intrested in doing some enhancements to get the best out of this car. Recently test drove a friend's Honda, feels a whole lot different from the normal Honda Civic because of the following mods; (1) Denso Iridium sparks (2) NYK spark cables (3) Induction box
(4) Minds-VTEC superchip
Feel it's cost effective, if I'm to model after this; not too sure if this'll go down well with my car(the sparks/cables are japanese; Is the 520i fitted with a chip-here again there's the question of compatibility.)
Hope to hear from u all soon. John from Spore...
