Well, I think you are most likely risk a chance of getting transmission problems, as well as getting a pressure in the engine which is? too high (there were some problems in early production phase, my dealer told me..)
Seriously, if more power would have been available in an easy and safe way, don't you think BMW would have done this??

...which is why I'm waiting on Hartge with their 3 year (well, until end of BMW warranty) warranty on engine and transmission.

Why don't BMW do it? Because they have to balance power, emmisions, economy, engine longevity, potential poor maintainance, marketing (do they really want a diesel 5 that worries an M5?

etc etc.
