My Ride: E60 "Stripper"
Now C6 "Stripper"
Hmmm....... a US spec 540i has 282hp and 324 ft-lbs of torque (quick)
a US spec 545i has 325hp and 330 ft-lbs of torque (quicker)
The US spec 550i should have 360hp and 360ft-lbs of torque......... I can't wait!

[/quote]Absolutely agreed. Trade in for a 545 or 550 if you really want the HP. No normally aspirated chip exists for the E60 that has shown any dyno gains whatsoever. None. Zip. You'll be throwing your money away.
Chips are pretty much a waste nowadays on N/A engines. With a turbo chip, you can get some pretty good hp gains at the expense of engine longevity. Wetterauer makes some great chips for the turbocharged Audi engines, but nothing for the E60.
