Of ourse they do.

With chip tuning you allways get better results, and with Diesels too. Having a chipped Diesel, you get the absolute best result...

Well, if you are driving it correctly...

But is the chip good for the engine? My dad had a Volvo V70 2.4T (200 hk) before he got the E60, and we got it chiptuned, and got better results. But we took the chip away from the car after 3 weeks, because the engine didn't like it at all.

Maybe we should get our 530dA chipped.. I'm just worried if the gearbox can handle the huge torque <_<

But the originally 500 NM is actually enough for us

My Ride: 2004 March E60 530i, Titanium Silver with Black Dakota Leather, Style 124 18" Alloy, Active Steering, Adaptive headlights, Auto-Dim Int+Folding Ext Mirrors, Auto Aircon Advanced, Brushed Aluminium Trim, CD Changer, Comfort Seats, De-Chrome, Dynamic Drive, Electric Glass Sun Roof, Graduate Tinted Windscreen, Heated Front Seats, Natvigation Professional, Sport Steering wheel, Sun Protection Glass, TV function

400 miles is the max my tank can cover with a mix of Motorway and town driving.

It's amazing that some drive an 530i can achieve nearly 500 miles.

I know the diesel owners can really brag here, but it would be nice to get a comparison of the different models (petrol & diesel).
Not talking about ave mpg or l/100km but actual distance travelled on a single tank.

I just did 683km's on a long distance trip at an average 127km/hr. (had 10km range in the tank so filled up again).

Abt. 660km on mixed roads motorways and main roads with a E60 520i.
