You have a very good mod pipeline, well done. Here are some more things I've did to my E39 that gave benefits as well. 1. Clutch fan delete, replace with E60 electric fan 2. Weight reduction, I shaved off 50kgs by removing all the outdated multimedia modules, spare wheel, tools, secondary air pump, alarm, anything that is no longer working. This lightness definitely feels like more power 3. Google up Racingdiffs, a company from Serbia. They sell progressive LSDs, which worked great for me. The grip on the back wheels improves and handles the extra HPs with ease 4. There is a brake adapter kit from Epytec, whereby you use the small Brembo 4-pot caliper from BMW E38 728 and fit a 325mm rotors off E46 M3. It was the simplest thing, plus I had those calipers with me already. Braking performance and feel so much better, and it's way lighter than the stock brakes. I think by total 7kgs This combo of small power mod coupled with weight reduction really brings out the professional athlete characteristics out of this car!
I dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know a method to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost my password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!
FYI, I recently ordered a SRS PCV/CCV delete kit. I'm going to install an oil catch can. The primary intention is to protect the engine, I noticed my TB is stained with blowby and intake manifold filled with oil residues. My gaskets are fairly new, and so I diagnose this must be gas blow by. If I get power gain, that will be cool too 😎
If you replace the Tu intake manifold with the pre-facelift one, you will also generate power. I will also replace my original catalytic converters with 200 cell ones and even if the pre-catalytic converter is no longer available, 328-333 horses should be possible without any problems once the control unit has been programmed accordingly. Also an increase in Newton meters from lower RPM
So like the M50 intake, the M60 is suppose to make more power because of size. Testing for m52s with m50 manifolds shows even with a tune - although the peak power is higher, the power curve is decreased. Has this been tested to show it's curve is better with M60 manifold? Great tip about N62 throttle bodies !
Your cone filter is way to close to your engine. Its not isolated from hot air in engine Bay which makes it suck less dense air. That gives less air into engine, so you have less HP. Use standard intake hose and filter cover, you will regain 5hp💪
@@paulie2026 dynoed 260 hp and 312 foot pounds of torque on a dyno jet bone stock. Decatted the car, m60 manifold, 4 inch maf tube, dudmd custom tune, shaved heads, and 4.8 liter tb with port matching the intake. Dynoed 300 hp and 360 pound feet of torque on the same dyno.

Leaving a comment so I can go back to this
Caliper swap info needed...
hell yea
You are the man, great information.
You are a Genius ⚙️🛠⚙️👍🏻
Got a 03 540i auto so glad to keep learning new tips

Nice hack, I am impressed
Nice info bro for my e34 540

Nice! I would mount some kind of heat shield for that cone air filter.
cone filter is not used, stock airbox only
Tanks man..
This dude is the best!!! Where is he located I need help lmao😊
Thanks for the tips. How do you code out the secondary air pump? I want to delete mine on my M62.
300hp without a tune? that's impressive. also you mentioned get the n62? how do you make the connectors to work? do you have a schematic?

they say that torque is slightly reduced at low end, but for racing, you are in top RPM anyway. Same for m52 with m50 intake manifold.
The m5 , “auto”540’s ,and the 525 came from the factory with 3:15 rear ends
sport auto 540i came with 2.84 I think
M62 NV intake manifold fits with no modification ? Thank You

I know that. I don't like the cone filters, I bought the car like that.
What are some of the things you can “tune” when you pointed to the under hood ecu compartment? I’ve got a 03 540i
tune cats out get 30hp more
@@HakenE30 I’ll try to research the process to do that. I’m not very familiar with this platform.
Sounds like a lot of work for 11hp. For a car of this weight I wouldn’t think you would be able to feel the difference
true, that is why no one bothers to make a video about what little can be done on this car
N62 tb is straight swap or need adapter?
Going downhill helps too
Why you dont start
can the 98 540i exhaust direct bolt on the 01 x5 e53?
I don't know
its going to loose power if you do these, its not setup up for mods at all. you take the cats off a vanos model and its going to run badly
This isnt true at all lmao
@@bobbyrobbyn1838 do it then haha let me know how well it works. I’m sure you’ll love it
@@paulie2026 ive had 4 540i’s before. 3 were catless with zero issues.
@@bobbyrobbyn1838 I’m sure if they were vanos you got great gas mileage and you were super fast lmao

Will a m62 be compatible with a bmw 530i 03
Thats maybe the most stupid thing you can do to that engine, its already running very hot (108°c) and that cone filter makes it much worse
I agree, stock airbox is the best
@@HakenE30 a shielded intake box works wonders.
