    New/used to F10 535 build/mod

    Hello all! Just dropping in to say hello and looking forward to all the cool pics and good info available in the forum. Have been a long time member since my E28 but now purchased a used 2012 535I. Ferada2.jpg

    Bone stock, just recently added the wheels/tires. Going to be posting up other mods that will be installing very soon.

    Bootmod3 stage 1 93 octane tune installed today. Mid-range pull is so smooth and strong. Best money spent on a mod for performance over stock. Can't wait to save up a bit more as definitely wanting PureTurbo S2 and catted high flow downpipe to compliment available tunes.

    Had some time on the dyno as well at a friends shop and power/torque gains are quite healthy.

    Stock 265 whp - 291 ftlbs torque
    Tune 312 whp - 426 ftlbs torque

    Nice, I want to lower my car too, can I have the part # for the H&R springs. My car is M-sport 2016, 535i.

    How is the ride feel after installing the H&R springs? isn't it too low?

    Nice build. But only one question why did you go with a catted down pipe? Less restriction on air flow if you would of went catless? Probably for inspection reasons right?

    Finally got my PI installed and custom tune flashed. Had a chance to test on the dyno to compare base E85 tune and Rev 1 of the custom tune. Looks promising for the old gal.
