Here are a few pics. The quality is not so good, taken with a phone camera.
On the "autobahn" speedo apparently doesn't go beyond 260kph. It just sits there at 260 while you are still accelerating. When the car was original, you felt the limiter kick in rather harsh at 255kph at the speedo.

WOW! great stuff and impressive figures. They seem like a pro bunch - did they also offer to re-program (gratis) in case of CIP software update ? how would you go about that ?

My Ride: e60 545i, build date july '04, saphire metallic black, auburn interior, sports package.
BMW535d, I am curious what this has done to your miles per gallon results. I hope we get these diesels here in the states soon as fuel economy is becoming more of an issue. With these diesels we can have excellent performance and economy.

BTW You are a lucky man! I'm having mine done this summer. Hope it would real feel the difference. What about the sound? Is it different at idle or at full throttle?
Cheers and good job. Now go on smoke some petrolheads....

From roll on...you'll probably smoke him to oblivion. For standing start you'll still win imo but slightly harder.

@rollee:
Ofcourse an M5 is even more awesome, and still way faster. It's a total differen terrority. But here in Holland it is 132000 euro, and thats a bit too much to spend on a ride. <_<
In the states you can get an M5 for like 60000 euro lol.
