Yep i think so. I have a buddy tried doing 150mph for his 545i. Between 150-155mph probably.

Don't you need to have a racing license to have it removed, I always thought it was a shame that the 530d couldn't go about 4 mph faster, then it would be limited, and thats sounds cooler.

Not only iceman, jmcaiado has a 530d with the ACS chip and no speed restriction on it, it reaches around 253 Km/h.
I can't wait to get my chip upgrade...

How accurate You think odometer is in BMW e60? In Germany I drove 250 km/h and it seemed that car still had something to give, but limiter kicked in. Of course it was downhill.
Let's see after chipping.
