Mine seems to definately open up over 4k revs,below that it doesnt do much. I have a performance air filter and when the revs get around 4k it really growls and it starts to fly then! |

ok ladies not to seem offish about this topic BUT 1- there is no way in this WORLD a 535i will keep up with a scooby turbo to anywhere near 100 mph nor an escos 2-people often go on about how fast their cars are and never really back up their claims 3- a 528i is a SLOW luxury cruiser , it was never meant to be a quick car and it never will be , let alone get anywhere near the sports saloons or hatches mentioned in earlier posts ! 4- big respect to the guys with the 3.5 lumps in their 3 series , they will be quick simply because of the power to weight ratio IF i can be proved wrong on any of the above comments "I WILL EAT MY LAPTOP" , dont post up magazine articles to try and prove me wrong just take the suposedly "quick" cars to a run what ya brung day and show the timing slip !! please dont take this post as a diss to anyones cars ! take it as a personal reference from someone that has owned all of the above mentioned vehicles including - 1995 scooby turbo 1999 scooby wrx sti 1993 escos (standard at 1st) 1989 535i sport a modded e28 m535i and my standard m535i that i still have IF any1 wants to organise a trip to a run wot ya brung day at the pod or north weald i will be the 1st person on the line to cheer and clap the 1st person that beats a scooby up the quarter (whilst chewing on my laptop)

Dady Cool, While I agree with most of what you say, I don't agree that the 528 is a slow car. Ok so it may not be in the same league as the Impretza and the EVO, it still has 193bhp, it will still do 140+mph and 0 - 60 in less than 8 seconds. It can also be turned into a much quicker car with the addition of a turbo or a super charger. The conversions out there give about 280bhp which puts it in the same league as a 540, which is definately a fast car. Just because the 5 series is not a rally developed road weapon doesn't mean that it isn't still a fast good handling drivers car, after all evo magazine rated the E39 very highly and if it wasn't such a good car in the first place the M5 wouldn't be half the car it is. |

oh dont get me wrong !! im sure its still a fast car !!! i just wouldnt put it in the same category as the above mentioned cars !!! if the discussion was about brisk luxury cruisers i would'v put it up there with the big engined best . but this started as a question of performance !! and even tho as you say a 528 will hit 60 in les than 8 seconds (which is very respectable) ! the other cars do it in 2 seconds less which in quarter mile times is long enough to wind down the window and turn the radio on . |

Well,ive got a standard 535i sport and my my mates got a standard subaru impreza turbo 2000. 0-60 the impreza wins everytime but thats about it,once it gets going theres nothing in it between my bmw and his car. A standard impreza turbo 2000 is 215bhp which is only 4bhp more than a 535i,take in to account the transmission loss from the 4wd and the impreza will be putting less power out at the wheels. |

Also,i never mentioned anything about a 535i beating a scooby up the quarter. What i was trying to say was when both cars are travelling at say 60mph then accelerate the bmw at least keeps up. Ive proven this many times as alot of my mates have subarus including turbo 2000's and wrx's.

tbh thats only gna be down to the driver ! its only the older uk scooby's that had just over the 200 bhp mark tho chap ! you'll find most of the scoobs are between 250-310 bhp and have body panels made out of lightweight materials . the STI i had was able to hold its own against a friends gt2 up untill 130mph (then he went by by)but i can never get anywhere near him in my e28 as i said before tho , dont get me wrong im not saying anybody,s car is slow im just saying on the road i think its bna be down to the drivers ability to squeeze every ounce of power from whatever car they're driving and on a quarter mile run sadly our bee,ems dont get a look in

It was only the uk turbo 2000's that i was talking about anyway ! Also i was trying to say that while the subaru was quick 0-60 it didnt manage to get away from me once it was rolling and im not just talking about one incident,i have raced many impreza turbos and while they do get in front of me im usually right up behind them. I have to say though that my 535i sport is alot quicker than my mates 535i sport and they are both standard. I wasnt trying to brag about being able to beat impreza turbos,what i was trying to say was that once they got rolling they have lost the advantage that 4wd gives them.

Does anyone know how the E28 535 compares with the E34? It's lighter and more powerful but of course much less aerodynamic... Suppose it depends on what gearbox you've got? P.S. My mate's S2000 is definitely faster! |

I think the e28 535 has 218bhp and does 0-60 in 7.2,the e34 has 211bhp and does 0-60 in 7.4(manual).

Hi All, Just been reading all of the posts above, quite cool cars really. Ive just bought a Venom 2 chip off ebay for my 535i sport, but not sure exactly how to fit it? Ive had a look under the bonnet and in the fuse box, where appears to be the ecu system, but not sure where to go from here???? Am I being a biff??? Can anyone help?? Cheers Stan

Go here http://www.homeofsbc.com/Chip_Tuning_1/chip_tuning_1.html and it shows you exactly what to do. I havent fitted my chip as im still waiting for it to be delivered. Ive been waiting about a month now . Did you buy your chip off a guy called Jayson from a company called chippeduk ?

hi again i said in a recent post that i beat a scooby from 80 to 120 in a 535i sport e34 i must say i now beleive he/she must of had the floor mat rolled up under the pedal as my neighbour as just brought a wrx and the nice chap has just let me have a play i now feel that in order for a 535 e28 or e34 to beat one at any speed the scooby would have to be towing a caravan with its hand brake on (sorry) but this thing was light and very responsive my bm goes from a bout 3000rpm this scooby just goes!

Also looked at the link, but mine seems a bit different to that. I'll try to take a pic tomorrow, and see what you think? Stan
