[QUOTE="haywire, post: 658099, member: 16474"] Not sure where you get your prices but ESS supercharger are RM25k (roughly looking at the GB prices) A 528i (190bhp) engine can be had at RM8500 + RM3000 labour, plus your 523i engine can be sold off to gain some money back (or the chop shop might require trade in). Even a 530i engine will only set you back below RM20k, I dare to say maybe as low as RM15k? Anyway my point is, the price of changing your engine may be far cheaper than the supercharger option if you hadn't realised it. After the 530i engine change, if you have some more money in the bank, maybe go for the ESS then? Power crave never ends, I tell you. =) [/QUOTE]
