ok. they hv done a few E60s 530i so far. they take readings of ur ECU...sends it to germany where an experience company (no names mentioned bu hinted to b bmw engineers) who basically releases the full capabilities of the ECU....all cars hv their ECUs tuned down to complay with EU emissions stds etc etc...u will c that USA spec 530is hv lesser hp than euro specs for such reasons. n for the 530 it is estimated to be 17-20hp more.
all modifications will void warranty with any car. the point is that...this procedure does not reqiure any physical xtraction of the chip. if u dun like it they can put ur original data back.
pml will not know u hv modified ur ecu unless they run a dyno test for your car. they dun do that unless u hv engine problems. even if u go n adjust ur rpm higher they dun do dyno test. only with a dyno test u can find out that hp n torque has increased...
i will likely be doing it....was thinking if we hv group interest we can get cheaper. sorry but i hv no info on 525s or 520s.

The ecu tuning does sound interesting.
Do they have to do any re-soldering of the chip as Powerchips claim in their materials on BMW upgrades?
By the way, where is Juzz4cars located? I am in the Holland Village area.

hi i m in holland as well. i will b doing it...just spoke to them again. gtee no removal of ecu. they will take 20mins to xtract the data...then off u go...come back in 2 days n 20mins for them to put in...they will also reverse the process if needs be...the german co. which does it is call [hi op]...bmw tuners...this is the max they can do for e60 530i now...
infact pml wun even know if they do a dyno test as the binaries r hidden (wotever that means). will give us discount if we do in group. pls let me know asap or call them up. they r at sin min...look for amos n say u r with jeremy. more cars more discount.
