Hi all,
Here is new beemer owner from Finland! Just bought used 530da (year 2004).
And it's amazing car! So quiet and smooth... Only down size is that it is lacking of some power... But there is cure for it! I need to go to chip shop... Then there will be about 280 hp and 600nm of torque!
I will add some pics soon!

Welcome to forum Hepokatti!
Great to get more local fellows on-board. We have really active BMW-forum www.btcf.fi/forum in Finland, but I have found e60 forum much more relevant for e60/e61 driver. ...and it's always beneficial practice some more English.

Welcome on board!
As for boosting the power, you'll find a lot of useful info here about different re-mapping and chip suppliers -- a number of members have done this to their 5er diesels (all types). A word of caution; the general concensus here in the forum is that a quality re-map is the way forward, rather than a plug-in chip.
Enjoy...
