SO I went all out, M Performance package, carbon this, that, and everything else, etc. Pissed as my speed-limited limiter was deliminated. Meaning they put cheaper tires on it and I lost the extra 30 mph I paid for so they could save some bucks. (I'm not kidding, I fucking threw a hissy fit, I think they were sure no one would see what the top speed was, but then the sticker shows essentially the oppositie of what M package/ performance package does).
So I got a 2017 F10 with every option except the door shutting feature (i mean wtf?). I got this because my first car was a 1987 e28 535is, and I figured I could badge this as a 535is since it essentially had the same extra M performance (along with carbon spoilers and splitters, i really went wild). I mean its cool to go from the white car below in highschool to the $78,000 version 30 years newer right? Well i thought so at the time...
I figured I could add about $2000 down the road and get some good WHP gains like the twin turbo n54s. Now I regret not just getting the 550i.
So, I'm coming up close to the end of its warranty (7-8 more months) and its unlikely it will be back in shop after the next two weeks. I was thinking there must be a JuiceBox package that eliminates top speed limiter, and adds 60-80hp, but what else can I do to add horsepower to this ride? If I can't reasonably add 100whp, I will just say screw it, and keep it as a daily and get back into e28s.... (twin turbo style).
So what is quickest route to 420hp (390whp roughly). Intake, exhaust, JB, or just JB and Nitrous.... Or fuck it and but something else. I will mention mine was one of two in the country, and automatic apparently accounted for like 97 percent of 535i sales. I should have just gotten the M5, money only matters when you don't have it, right? (Like me right now)

I've never seen a 2017 535i.
Are you sure its not a 2011-2016? Because the F10 wasn't made in 2017....
420hp isn't happening without a turbocharger and fueling system upgrade anyway.

Be aware that if you double the horsepower, on the same vehicle, 0 to 60 times would go from say 10 seconds before to 7 seconds after.
Now, bringing torque lower down in the rev range is something else entirely.
