Mohamed 525i 03-14-2008, 10:28 AM My ride is V8 540i6,, 4.0 engine will X5 4.6 or 4.8 fit ? for my ride pic this is old I'll post new pix after the bodywork which i did http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/5531/dsc00643tt4.jpg http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/9606/dsc00648ob8.jpg xatlas0 03-14-2008, 10:30 AM Only Shrick, Alpina, and Hartge made performance cams, and none of them are available readily now. When a set does come up, they run about 2-3k US$. Gains are pretty much unknown, especially since you would have to get the car tuned to take advantage of the cams. X5 cams will not work, as they all have VANOS ends. For the MAF, electric contact cleaner works best. Mohamed 525i 03-14-2008, 10:31 AM Thanx boss u r the man Binjammin 03-14-2008, 10:55 AM i6 means inline 6 cylinder. V8 means two banks of four cylinders in a v shape. You've got one or the other. If the car is a 540, you've got a v8, not an i6. This will help narrow your search for cams, and help avoid confusion. Goathumper 03-14-2008, 10:57 AM i think he meant i6 as in 540i6 (the 6 denoting the 6 speed tranny) xatlas0 03-14-2008, 11:00 AM i think he meant i6 as in 540i6 (the 6 denoting the 6 speed tranny) Exactly. Binjammin 03-14-2008, 11:08 AM Ahh, you mean he's got a 540i/6, not a 540i6. I understand fully now. m60b30530i 03-14-2008, 03:01 PM y did u change the intake box out don't our cars loose hp Binjammin 03-14-2008, 03:06 PM y did u change the intake box out don't our cars loose hp He's in Dubai, the air off the radiator is probably cooler than the air temp outside the car during the day. |
