no offence but since your car is 520i I would say the Eisenmann dual pipe would do the magic.... It is a very good one.
The quad would is mostly a fake one.... only 2 pipes are actually exhausting the others are only dead end cosmetics one....... therefore no effect on sound at all.....
and if any case you find a proper 4pipe exhaust with all pipes working than your engine might be a little small to give it the proper sound.... it fact it may do the opposite from what you want....

So Eisenmann dual is the best IMHO

They work, there's just not a second muffler. All four pipes come out of the single muffler that replaces your stock muffler. The two pipes that come out the passenger side run around your spare tire compartment and out the back. You will see exhaust come out of all four pipes. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, I had this system on my 330i and I'm going to install it on my 530i. I would not call this system a true dual exhaust however, since there is only one muffler. If you want a true dual (two mufflers) you would have to spend the 10K and go with Racing Dynamics.

as far as I remmeber ACS is Remus or Sebring so normally that is louder, but the Race ed. Eisenmann is also loud enough and very good brand.

quads are more for look, I only go for the look, but when you buy a good stuff full of certificates cannot go wrong, normally the Supersprint-HM, Eisenm gives you 3,5-4,5 bhp more but that is not the purpose of adding a muffler, it is to look different, NICEEE

Quad is better looking but you need to do something on your rear bumper. I have a quad Eisenmann (racing mode) on my 545i. It is the best sound....and the most important part is--> It does help accelation!!

Ain't no such thing as quad muffler for 530 and below since it's a V6, i think only the V8 has the option to install the "REAL Quad Mufflers"! <_<

anyways, recently i still installed the quad tips on my 530i just for the "look", and there's no significant increase in either sound or hp, maybe it's because i didn't buy a name brand but a custom made muffler, however, it looks awesome and i love it, just keep in mind that don't let anyone look from underneath because that's when they found out that it's FAKE!!
