Spend your money on service items ie.. plugs,air filter, oil & oil filter, i would'nt bother chipping a 2.3.

and welcome to the forum.

It's not a 2.3. BMW stopped making engines with 2.3ltr displacement since the E30 era

The engine in the 523i is an M52 with a 2.5ltr displacement.

Yes, you can chip them but in my opinion, if you want big power gain then you might as well retire the 523i and invest in a V8. The chip will make that engine a lot nicer but, money is one of the larger factors.

Hope this helps
