There's been reports that I've read somewhere that the chip that ACS uses could cause problems with the E60, but I'm not sure about the source that I read it from, I would post the link if I find it again.

I wonder what ATS has to say about this 
first and honestly you know they sell a lot more like 40-60% more Worldwide, that is why not so exlcusive. You do not know that a LONG time ago I was obsessed with them but the design they use is not anymore my cup, but luckily there are other drinkers
secondly this:
newest AC development of course was just kidding
but come to a show to Germany and you will see what matters really... thx
PS. does not matter what you or I say here or press, clients have a nice vast of choices so they decide what they like, and our clients are all satisfied also from Forums of E60 and thx for that again

Everything is in german when I tried to read about them-what exactly does AC offer for the 5er-everything from engine tuning to suspension? What do they offer for engine stuff? and anything available here in usa

muchos-doesnt look like they offer a heck of a lot to the e60-unless you have an M or a diesel
Just like the 2007 Le Mans 24-Hours.
If you got the money, I shore that they can pimp any E60
