Hi Forumers,I am looking to upgrade from an E39 530i M54B30 because I want more power and I would also like to sell/trade in to dealer/direct buyer my E39 523i Silver UK spec 98/02 (M52tub25 Double Vanos) 45k neg. Car is well kept with receipts. Wouldn't mind dealers if car is good and can take in my ride.Or any feedback on how is the best way to increase power for my current ride? Any help from you guys much appreciated. Thanks to seewai and bm7833 for their valuable advice too.Pls PM me or call 013-3408183 if interested or want to view my ride.
 
Remapping won't do much for your M52TUB25 Double Vanos. Another option would be sell off your M52 engine and put in a half-cut M54B30.

Hmmm, how much to do this? and where can i get it done? What would be the overall cost?

Go Optimum Motorworks at Kaya Ara as they have done many similar jobs. Call the boss Jason (012) 308-1891 and he should be able you give you some prices.
 
Bro longestdrive,

That's where I did the conversion too.

Hebert,

you racun pll kau kau and for sure the half cut for M54B30 will be very expensive seem everyone is looking for it.
 
Excellent choice. Another option is which I believe cheaper is M52B28TU..

No replacement for displaclement

I see how much did u get yours done for?

Roughly 15k - 20k. But it's not a B30.

One of my friends went from B28 to B44 manual. I think some forummers here might have seen that ride as well.
