Have had a 520d(chipped) for nearly one and a half year now, and it`s a great car. Although I might be a bit partial as I`m currently on my 3rd 5 series in Th now( original M5 , just traded the 520d:-), I must say that 5 series E60 is a great ride here in Thailand. Went to Krabi in Feb. and decided to drive down from Pattaya. Piece of cake, took me around 10hrs and wasn`t even tired when we arrived.

Normally you will get waved through checkpoints, people giving way when driving in the right lane etc, it can`t get better.

Before i took delivery of my 520d, I had a run in the 525i. Got the right BMW six sound, but it`s not a 2,5l but 2,4(Tax thing). Took the 520d

(four pot) for a ride, and it performed nearly as well as the 525i.

Have you considered the 520d version? Great mileage, average of 14km/L, it can`t get any better.

After I put the chip in, the power increased from 163Hp to 204, and torque from 340Nm to around 400Nm. And it was noticeable as well!

If I was you, I would for sure do a test run in the 520d and compare. After all they are a lot cheaper than the 525i and considerable cheaper to run as well.

Cheers
