I took my car to https://www.facebook.com/germanautowerks2/ to get the intake valves cleaned. They do a lot of work on the N54
I have a 08 535xi with 80K miles and am considering mods and wanted to know where is a quality shop experienced with modding N54's?
Thanks
I took my 2008 535XI wagon to : They did all the bolt ons possible and some meth. They fly in a tuner every 2 weeks that handles N54 tuning as well.

Thanks just got off the phone with them. The lady who answered was really nice and took down my info and what I wanted and was going to get back to me with suggestions.
WHat mods did you do to yours and which ones you thought had the biggest impact?
Maintenance Items ,ECS re-manufactured OEM front and rear turbos,Rear Main Seal,Oil Pan gasket,Valve cover gaskets,walnut blasting intake valves,Oil pipe O-ring,New Flex Plate,Bosch OEM plugs
I pretty much went FULL boltons. Only really other thing I could have done was upgrade the turbos. They did all the below work.
Maintenance Items ,ECS re-manufactured OEM front and rear turbos,Rear Main Seal,Oil Pan gasket,Valve cover gaskets,walnut blasting intake valves,Oil pipe O-ring,New Flex Plate,Bosch OEM plugs
Upgraded Items , VRSF Intercooler(7 inch),VRSF downpipe,Aquamist Kit(METH),TIAL Q Blow Off Valve,COBB Accessport V3
Wow that's exactly what I wanted done with regards to mods. I originally just wanted the tune, intake, and charge pipe but I got waste gate rattle and low efficiency code for cats so I figured down pipes are cheaper than cats and I gotta get the turbos done (upgraded) because that rattle is downright embarrassing sometimes "Hey that's a nice car but what is that sound?" lol
How much would you say your power improved? Any track times, dyno #'s?
Thanks
Oh and did the intercooler and downpipe require clearancing or did they just bolt in?
Almost 3 weeks later of phone calls/email and not one shop gave me a response beyond asking what I had and what I wanted done.
