hey everyone....I've been lurking for a while but I figured I'd say hello!

I have a friend w/ a '99 E39 530i (i think thats the year anyhow) who is looking for some good performance mods for his car. What do you all recommend? I told him AA or Dinan but he said he couldn't find anything for his particular car. So anyone know anything worthwhile? thanks

If its a US model, I doubt it was a 530 in 99. try a 528. US 530 E39 models came out in 2001.

ESS (European Supercharging Systems) makes a supercharger for the 530 here:

hmmmm....must be a 2001 then

anyways, thanks for the link; i'll check it out

Truth Spoken Here. I have a 2001 530i. This was the first year of the e39 530i.

The e34 had a 530i in the lineup in 1993-1995, it was an 8 cylinder engine and less torque and hp than the e39's I-6.
