is it me or is it when ur UDM rus and gets hot....
throttle response deteriorates?

Heatsoak.
The engine draws in hot air from the engine bay which is detrimental to performance.Cars that run cone filters without a proper heatshield are most affected. I reckon it is more noticeable on highly tuned cars.

Yes they do.

real sad case considering the fact that when we drive such a heavy ride, we must always be on our toes....

No replcement for displacement.

Option 1 ) - ECU remap.
Option 2) - Supercharged
Option 3) - Change from Auto to Manual
Option 4) - Attend BMW Driver Training (sometimes it's not the car but the driver)
Option 5) - Upgrade suspension (you will never thought that having a better suspension would make your car go a little faster aka aerodynamics)
Option 6) - If all the above don't satisfy, then sell your 525 for 530i (big 6), or 540i (V8) or M5 (//M).

Bro, try the CRC MAF cleaner. You'd be surprise at how light and responsive your take offs. Mine did. Of course, when i was spraying & flooding the whole MAF like there's no tmr, there were substantial amount of black dirt dripping off the other end. Place a white paper on floor while you spray. Can see the amount of dirt.

Though my MAF wasn't giving any problem, but by just cleaning it, showed me what i was missing all this while (for the good :top The gear changes were a lot smoother and it no longer shifts up too early.

Go try! BEST DIY EVER!
