sorry for that
the site is from mainland china

perhaps you may wish to usr google translation

the theme is about pistol of 320 which is slightly different from that of 328 and limits 320's performance

If it is true
One can turn a 320 to 328 by changing the 4 pistols in the engine and reprogamming the ecu (i know that the transmission sys of 320 & 328 is slightly diff but not for 520 & 528)

I think so

But there is one problem

From oem parts
I note that the part no. of pistol for 520 & 528 may be the same in some case

Fung, thanks for the info, that's what I am going to check, if the piston part number is the same, then the only matter is the ECU. =) hopefully its true, if yes, I will try and order it immediately so its like 528i.

share more info if you know any. Cheers

someone in that forum has mentioned that it may not be that cost effective to change as the piston is not cheap and installation charge is high

You better post this in the coding forum
By common sense
You may be able to get the right nav software when you back to Europe
