ok guys, jus been in touched with DMS Automotive's Mike Cooper.
He advised that Rob might have gotten the DMS engine tuning upgrade done up for the new valvetronic engines on the 523i, etc.
Rob will be in KL/ Singapore area during first or 2nd week of Dec. So they would also like to know how many 523i might be keen on doing this upgrade so as they can plan their schedule here accordingly.
I think they should be able to do the other new Valvetronic engines as well. Will check and revert back with more details.
So u guys think about it and decide.... free up some hidden horses and torque....
cheerios!

I would definitely like to find out more. I am getting my 523i soon and since it is brand new, I would likely go for it only if it does not screw up the warranty - you know how those PML blokes can be....

For sure the warranty will be affected. If DMS had a local agent then the ECU could be reverted to "normal" before sending to PML. However that is not possible, which is the main reason I was going to use Hiop. But then they still can't get their act together.... I guess it is a calculated risk. My car is 4 weeks old but I am keen to investigate further

I guess I am in the same boat as you... In the event that you have some success with Hiop, please keep us informed! Thanks in advance.

We have yet to decide on location for this mini e60 meetup to check out the minimac/ video interface mod, etc. Shall we do it back at the usual kallang macdonalds open space carpark (so tat we can buy drinks, etc from macdonalds). Or do u guys prefer it to be at the Fort Road Carpark?

Other than Chiaretto Red, this is another rare colour here. I have only spotted it a few times. Looks like a piece of charcoal.

My Ride: e60 530i - SOLD!
i beg to differ! 
TG II is nice color but some said it a tad greenish under certain lighting spectrum. It's less on the road so yr friend should go for it.
