Silver e39 540i

Recommended Posts

Hey I'm Scott, proud new owner of '02 540i, completely stock first mod will be sending the ECU down to chch for some relatively cheap HP over the next month. Pretty keen on supercharger/turbo, if anyone's had experience with that please let me know.

Will post pics soon.

where are you based??

how are you getting cheap HP by sending your ecu off to some where ??

if its for chip etc

better to get live remapping done on a dyno so you can see the before and after results

sounds nice though .

used to have a 99 540i touring , they go well

cheers brent

do you have pics??

Pics are mandatory.

Be keen to see where you get to with turbo idea, general consensus on the 'net seems to be that there's a lack of space. Always wanted to put a couple of td05's running in parallel on an M60/62, reckon it would be awesome!

Agree with Brent that a live remap is the way to go. worth spending the coin on imo.

Based in Lower Hutt.

Speedtech recommended Auto Passion, they specialise in Euro's. It's a remap for an extra 20HP on this particular engine, some of the other engines you can get more.

I believe they flash the ECU with a different firmware with a remap. You send the ECU down and they'll send it back with new firmware. It's probably a month away but I'll post before and after dyno's.

I'll get some pics up next time it's not raining.
