Anyone installed it on his 528i? I am just wondering what is the best chip and price.

How about sharkinjector?

I am curious whether this chip is worthed or not. Thanks in advance for the help.

Yes, many guys have "chipped" their cars w/ Dinan, Autothority, BMP, Bavarian etc...I recently used the "Sharkinjector" on my car'97 528iA. Just didn't want to ship "the box" off to someone and all the reports I've read said the Dinan re-program only affected the top end of the power band. The Shark Injector was really easy to use and made a difference, the car definately had more guts to it.
Additionally, I also installed a CAI, I used the East Coast Injector System ie ECIS which uses a cone K&N filter.
Using the CAI and the "Chip" together the car really is different ..just plain stronger accross the power band. Better 'off the line' and Kick down acceleration and better driveability.
Good Luck
RB
