Didn't I hear that BMW itself is coming out with "performance parts"?? And isn't one of these a "chip"?

There was a rumor about that when they broke off the relationship with Dinan. I am not sure if it has been confirmed.

Well today I hit the 1500 miles barrier. So after some driving around town I decided to go on the freeway and go to WOT.

From what speed did you go WOT? I suspect that since you weren't innitially impressed the RPMs must have been under 3K. I get the same feeling with my V8 if crusing at 55-80 in 6th gear and stomp on the throttle, until I drop down a couple of gears and RPM closer to 4500...then the car comes alive.

I went WOT from a stand still. I found a nice backroad that I used to run all of my cars on when tuning them.
Im really starting to get the hang of the car.

Oh I forgot to mention how much I love the voice command recognition! CD ON!!
