You lucky bum!!! :wow: I remembered signing up a year ago to be their guinea pig but nothing ever came of it. Then I hear about my530i getting his car tested for a new Dinan exhaust and now you with the software... Lucky dawgs!!! Oh well, maybe they'll save the best for last and use my car for as a test bed for a supercharger or bigger displacement motor... :wow: :whistle: :twoup: I can dream can't I?? haha

BTW, did you get the info from my post? If so, maybe I'll hit them up for a referral bonus. :wink: :evil:

Oh well, I'm supposed to bring in my car Mon morning to get my software and a couple of things. We'll all be waiting for your feedback....

Haha, it was one of the reps (Steve Briseno) that called me to tell me about the software programming. He remembered me the last time I was there when I had them install the Dinan exhaust, so he left me a message a few days ago. I'm so interested in seeing how the throttle response improves! Maybe I'll call Steve on Monday to have them install the V8 throttle body to take full advantage of the programming! Only thing is ... on the website, they show the 545i software as being 49-state legal. Does that mean the mainland 49 excluding Hawaii, or all states except California (since we have the more stricter CARB laws)? If it's "except California", then I'm assuming that will apply to the 550i throttle body as well. Anyone from California get the new throttle body for their 545/550i yet?
