I don't think the new 523 is that slow to be honest, it's a big improvment compare to the E60 and I have 19 inch wheels with 275 in the rear.
The I6 engine is a very good engine. I would have that over the 4 turbo given that there's a choice. |

I couldn't feel much of the promised hp gain after the switch(just a little bit more rev happy at the upper end and consumed a little more fuel  ). Even worse I couldn't start my car after reinstalling the upgraded ECU since Oettinger screwed up the engine immobiliser code in the ECU after the upgrade. In the end the car needed to be towed back to DCH to have the immobilser recoded  |
Oh no. That's bad. That's why piggy bag plug and play should be better.
