523 owners, know of anyone who did a chip-job lately to get closer to a 525?
For those thinking of a 523, it's the best buy I think. 525 features for 523 price, but need to tune it up. I expect little difference between 523 and 525 on the resale market.

Hi guys,
I just got my 523i for a week now and quite happy with the car.
The power is ok if you put it in the sport mode but could be better.
Is possible to chip it to 525 specs with regards to the warranty?
Thanks!

However, in saying so, please also be reminded that although PML can't detect the mod, there's always a risk involved in doing such things. My opinion is that in order to improve something, something else has gotta give. Don't ask me what or where because I am as blurr as the next guy as far as chipping is concerned.

I don't think PML will give any discount. The last time I tried to reserve one whole session for my clients, not a single cent less. I even have to pay $200 more for non-BMW owners. But thats me doing the negotiation, not Edlee.
I am keen on the IDT. But since there are so many of us, maybe we could do a session on our own, ie. reserve the whole session on other days since the Sep ones are open for the public.
Hi,
I really would like to know that how do u get your mesh grille. Is it custom made by your workshop. Please share your experience. I would like to install the same thing for my car.
thanks

Mechanically, the physical difference between the 523 and 525 is a the existance of a disa valve and ECU which technically can be installed which can = to a 525. Of course warrenty will be void engine wise.
