One thing I can recommend...stay far far away from Ziptuning 
I have asked around because I too was thinking the 523 and 525 would have the same engine, and maybe a software tune would do the trick.
So far I only hear that this is not the case...
The tuning company I sometimes work for, Beek Auto Racing (www.minispeed.nl and porscheperformance.nl) has looked into it, but no luck...
Come see us, if you want your 545 to be tuned...

I agree, stay away from Ziptuning!!!!! They are crap! I used to have a Subaru Impreza and everybody in the tuning world in Holland said the customer service was terrible.
Remaps I think are only worth while on turbos. I've had 2 turbo'd cars done now and the difference was amazing!
I would have gone for the sprintbooster on my 530i over the expensive chip if it was my choice.

Sure thing...we can get together the three of us, and if you have friends with an E60 bring them along...
There are some guys with an E60 at the MINI forum as well, we can ask them to come also...
