N52 is surely a better engine (magnesium) but LCI 530's are a bit out of my budget for now <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /> Sad ...VKS - Thanks bro and sensors are very expensive. Even on my Jepun car now, sensors are costly.BlackCat - Thank you for the welcome and looks like you really had some fun and good experiences with BMW's now <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /> Actually I'm looking at 530 Year 05 - 06 for now but if the 07 eventually gets cheaper, I really don't mind spending a bit more for the LCI version. I believe maintenance wise won't be so bad unless something is broken but I seriously don't hope my pocket will have a big hole, lol. I would like the M-Sport version and I see used/local AP ones going between RM180-RM230K.attenbrough - Thanks bro and nice car you have there <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /> I never knew the N52 engine is so silent but I do know the technology used to make it is excellent. I was reading about the PB all these while and it looks like a good buy (being cheap too). I'm not sure how well it'll work versus re-mapping but I'd say more or less the same? Unfortunately the PB only works on N52 engines so if I got no money to buy N52 and end up with M54 then I can only do re-mapping. If someone is kind enough to give me an ESS Stage 2 kit for my birthday, it'll be awesome too, haha.</blockquote>
