2011 535i Upgrades??

Thinking of getting into a new 535i when the X5 goes back (lease), Are there any upgrades out yet for it?

JB3 Juice Box 3 I know that as real popular w/ the 335i when I was looking into them. They were made for the 535 but don't know about the 2011, but would think so. Very easy plug and play for the ECU

I'm not sure if the 2011 535i has the N54 or the N55 engine (twin turbo vs. single turbo). There are many companies working for N55 upgrades since it just came out, but there are endless options for the N54.

You have the JB3 and Vishnu Proceed as piggyback tuners, then you can get a complete ECU reflash from Dinan, GIAC, Gintani/OE Tuning, and some others. All of these give upwards of 80hp/80tq. There are also very basic tuners like SSTT that give about 20-30 hp.

I have the Gintani/OE Tuning tune and I love it.

From what I've read, I believe it's a single turbo engine.

Update: Pick it up tomorrow afternoon, Alpine White, Black Interior

For the N55 BMS has a Stage 1 piggyback available. I believe there are few exhausts out and AR design is coming out with a 4in down pipe.

How easy is the BMS Plug in Play to put on? Pretty straight forward?

My father has a 535i with SSTT. Anyone have reviews on exhaust/DPs? I have only seen 1 company's offerings.

The N55 (single turbo) does not have as many tuning options available as the N54. However, there are a handful of tunes coming out and there is more and more development on this platform. There are exhaust and tune options, you can get a pretty good overview of what is available for the motor here: http://www.bimmerboost.com/forumdisp...38-N55-and-N52

Don't listen to him, you can get plenty of nice reasonably priced upgrades for some more pep while keeping money in your pocket vs. the 550.

congrats on the 535. I just got one too, space gray (yay!!!), with gray interior (oh well). I love it, I think I'll sleep on it tonight!
