My Ride: '05 530i, Premium, Steptronic, Logic7, Silver grey-black leather. Build date 12/7/04.
O.K., once and for all, IN NORTH AMERICA ONLY, BOTH ENGINES ARE 3 LITRES. DIFFERENCES LIE IN INTAKE, AND LEVEL OF TUNING, ETC.

Also, would it be possible to chip the 525 along with other mods so as to bring it up to the level of the 530 engine?

Not in the States! The 525 and 530 are both 3 litre...
Apparently the American market would not take a 2.5l car seriously...!In other markets the 523 and 525 are 2.5l
