Hi, I have an E60 535d.

Just wondering what mods are available and in what order people think is best.
Also if anyone can recommend companies/parts.

Based in Yorkshire.

Cheers!!!

Hi there and welcome to the forum.
Your first port of call should be a full service and check ALL vacuum hoses and boost hoses. See a lot of perforated vac hoses. Clean the EGR valve and check the oil breather filter is OK.
Then check/replace brakes if needed.
Then your ready for a remap. The 535d responds so well! You'll be looking at 340bhp and 680Nm ish.
If you're after more, then it's intercooler, exhaust upgrade (dpf gutted), injectors, hybrid turbo and dyno and remapping time again.

Did this 335d the other week
Customer came into me asking if his car should smoke like this after he had a Dpf removal and remap by a company in Slough
I took it out for a test drive and could not see the cars behind me that's how bad it was
I Dynoed it and it made 304bhp with heavy smoke
I 1st fixed there the other tuning company's remap which then made 332bhp
The customer then asked if I could tune it my way as he wanted as he wanted a safe amount of power with no smoke
Ended up with 362bhp

You don't need to change much on these 535d to make loads of power
What is needed is for the car to be tuned correctly or these will smoke heavily
Standard 272bhp with only a remap will see 330bhp 680-700nm or remove the Dpf and see 360-370bhp
286bhp with only a remap will 345bhp 700-720nm or remove the Dpf for 270-280 Bhp

if u read his comments one said stay with a m3 up to 115mph m3 is sub 6s 0-60 and 5 series 6.4s 0-60 so even with a remap im not sure where your getting sub 5s from but to be fair its just splitting hairs as they say ou aint gonna notice 0.5s or so difference even if your right,anyway not here for an arguement have a nice day

I forgot u have the fastest 535d in the world next you will be telling people it will out run m5's...lol
