The great thing about the E60 (and the E39) was that you didn't have to spend crazy money on the top-spec versions to get a great drivers car. Even the ordinary models like this 525i were/are still a real sporty drivers car with amazing straight 6 motor and very decent power for its size. I have this car (pre LCI with manual box) and don't plan to sell it. Since BMW switched to 4cyl turbo or even 3cyl and FWD for some models, they just lost their true spirit and character 😒
I have a e60 525i n52b25 2006 manual transmision , I have to say that i'm very satisfied with the car . Any ideas how to make more horses remaining on naturaly?
headers / exhaust system and air filter are easiest changes.. ( low hp gains though [ roughly 35hp id say]).. sharper camshafts (since it’s N/A they’re pretty sharp already) but then you’d need to change injectors and possibly the ignition coils… other than that not much to be done other than changing the fresh air tract to turbo or supercharged
The n52b25 is a little different than the n52b30. It Is the same engine block, but pistons and small other things, are different. In addition, the n52b25 has a loss of performance, while the n52b30 does not, plus minus 5hp. In your case, it wouldn't be worth tuning your engine. Maybe you have power loss because of the solenoid valves (Magnetventile). Wouldn't invest any money, even if you buy the intake manifold from the n52b30, you won't get the same performance as the n52b30. Maybe 10-15ps more if your engine works well.
The n52b25 can be easily turned into n52b30 with changing the intake manifold to dual disa and a ECU remap with original 3.0 engine map. That's it and you will have close to the 3.0 hp if your engine is healthy. Just Google for it . Good luck !

How did you get a 525i to have the newer electronic gear shifter, and the newer updated gauges? If I'm correct, those only came on, or available on 2008 to 2010 models, and usually the 528i, 535i, and 550i had them.

Major. The 325 is seriously anaemic. The 3 stage intake + the Bimmerlabs OE 330i tune is perfection. I converted my 325i, and I can never go back, this engine has so much simply locked in tune. Its only 40 HP peak difference, but the bottom end difference is seriously noticeable. Worth it. lol
