Hi, I just like to share some pictures of my E60 after I got the ACS front lip installed. I decided to also get the Powerchip installed since the autobody shop is affiliated with powerchip. Boy, it does make a difference I must say. Next in line, would be the ACS exhaust I'm planning to get. Maybe, a Pioneer AVIC-N1 Navigation System.

I chose to keep the OEM brackets for now, I could have a mesh grille installed by the shop but they would have to custom make it. What do you think, mesh grille looks better?

Looks sharp. How much was the powerchip and the performance?

Another one. The powerchip cost me about $900USD installed. I've only driven it for about a day and less than 50 miles. So far, initial impressions of it are, quicker response from 0mph, less holdback on acceleration from 0-60. More power at midrange.

Powerchip techs said give it 50miles or so, when the ECU relearns the way I drive and it will really be a joy to drive. I love it!

This is what it looked like before.

Stormace,

What was the shop you had power chip added to your car? I am in Bay Area, too.

Thanks.

Stormace,

Is your 530 or 545?

It's called Toplineautomobile in Burlingame. Mine is a 530i.

PM me, the owner of topline is a nice guy...

very close to my house too, which is convenient.

I'm not sure yet on the deck spoiler or the roof spoiler, if anything, it will be the ACS exhause first...
