Impressive but you can see even the stock turbo on those cars take a dump around 5. Now imagine that on our cars with less power and more weight.
If you're getting 4.7 post results and please share the recipe because I need to get back there. Maybe awd is part of the equation for the F10.

I'm by sure what your talking about. Those cars don't show 0-60 times. So where are you getting that even these cars are only 5 sec? You don't dyno first gear launching.

I guess I'm not sure how I could prove it to you since you don't believe a 535i with 446/570 can get better than 5.0 sec. I'll just end this conversation now I guess. Thanks and enjoy your BMWs everyone. Happy holidays.

in regards to 78MAO's setup with downpipe and stock catback was the exhaust loud when you step on it? I think this would also be a sweet setup given that turbo engines greatly benefit from reduced backpressure near the turbo rather then the rest of the exhaust system so I think a downpipe makes more sense then a catback. |

Scott, start a new thread and there are plenty of 535i experts on the forum, majority of them much more knowledgable than myself.
I have a 2011 F10 N55 PWG with: JB4 w/ Bluetooth Wagner intercooler BMS intake ER chargepipe ER castless downpipe Muffler delete with 3.5" tips Mixing E85 with 93 I been very happy with the performance increases and my F10 feels like a race car. Check out AZ's recent progress hitting 141mph with 21 psi peak. |

Thank you for your reply and sharing your setup. If you had it to do over, would you do anything different (mod or brand)?
What you have is very similar to what I am looking for. If I can hit those numbers and use the term "like a race car" I will be more than satisfied (will possibly giggle like a little girl). Do you use the Map 5 setting with your JB4? If so, what kind of MPG do you get on an easy commute to work or what I call "Sunday driving"? I have not seen or read about the JB4 w/ Bluetooth. I guess I have not read as much as I thought. |

Chargepipe is recommended to change, the OEM is plastic and can crack easily. Map 5 on Jb4 is autotune, so you can just enjoy the ride and let the little device do its work. Also search up Bootmod3, it is a Flash tune to your car unlike jb4 which is a piggyback, theres nothing but good feedback from it on these forums. |

I mean, this is a heavy, luxury sports sedan. Unless you spend an insane amount of money on speed/power upgrades, it will always still be a luxury sports sedan.
That said, you can get some real spunk out of this engine for cheap, but to make it into a race car ain't cheap. I just have JB4, BMS intake and SprintBooster and that has transformed this heavy beast into a less heavy beast, to me, but by no means a race car. Where anyone with this platform wounds up happy with will probably depend on what they started with, including suspension, engine, wheels and tires. I'm more than happy with my very modest setup and the only next 'mod' I'm going for is some nice non-runflat tires. |

I use Map 5, but lately I have been on Map 7 by mixing E85 with 93. I don’t pay too much attention to the mpg, but it’s not bad. The best starting point to transforming your F10 is to email BurgerTuning. They are extremely knowledgeable and have great products. |

My Fellow 535 gurus,
Your feedback has been priceless! I have a little more research to do but I know where I have to start now. Research-wise, I have to figure out the difference between the Bootmod3 vs the JB4. I understand the JB4 and how to use it (such as Map5 for beginners, and is adaptive to the mod stages) but 6erLover you threw a kink in my JB4 decision because my OCD forces me to research all options. I just don't recall seeing that one in the threads. Also, the SprintBooster from S1ammin is another I am currently looking up. I am pulling the trigger on the following mods -probably in this order unless you see something wrong with it. Intake - BMS Intake over the AFE because I cannot find anything that proves the money difference is worth it. Downpipes catless- Still deciding between VRSF or ER, again they seem very similar quality Tuner - JB4 unless something else proves better for my new love! Charge pipe - again VRSF or ER whichever I find the best deal on. Wagner Intercooler DollarBill - For some reason, I thought I had to put an exhaust on it after the downpipes such as the expensive REMUS Sports exhaust. Will it sound just as good without it? Also, did you purchase the offered $100 plug-in for the catless downpipes? That turns off the idiot light, right? Thanks again for everything. I am really enjoying all of the feedback. I look forward to hearing from everyone. |
