wow. I have no words. You need 550i Nitrous badge so no one even remotely think about racing with you. Congratulation! Great job, very clean install. It would be interesting to hear your comments on Dinan upgrades, intake, throttle body, engine fw... I am afraid to ask how much it cost.
PS: this reminds me I have to go and remove charcoal filter on my wife's 550. I did it last week on my 550, hers is next.

Ok. I've never posted since being here for the better part of a year and a half. I have to say after seeing what you've done I just can't be silent. Well done. On the setup... On the write up. I'm very impressed. Now all that said, where do I send my 550 for you to duplicate your efforts... Sweet ride!!!

Beautiful 550i! Kudos on a clean install and an excellent write-up! 
Your 550 sounds like a beast!
Please update once you have dynoed the 550! How many miles on the motor?

My Ride: 09 550i 6sp M-Tech. 18mm spacers rear, 8mm front. Dinan intake and Stage 2 tune. Tinted tails, M5 OEM lip spoiler.
08 Z4 3.0si Black on Black with Beige top. Removable hardtop. (Hers)
06 Volvo S60R Heavily Modded!! Gone and missed.
Thank you! I really appreciate the positive feedback! As far as the Dinan upgrades, the high flow intake system was the most noticeable improvement. The throttle body seemed to give me a "pinch" more on the very top end (6k or so) and I really didn't notice a performance gain with the engine software. What I DID notice with the software upgrade was harder/faster shift points and the top speed governor removed.
