I hate that BMW keeps things under wraps with everything...

My Ride: 2007 BMW M5 (6speed) - Lots of mods

I can tell you BMW has no plans of doing any software on any car as a part of their new performance line... Dinan I am sure will eventually, but BMW will be really far out and probably never!

IMO, Dinan is overpriced for the product they are selling

Go with PROCEDE v2 or Juice Box v2 http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.p...ghlight=procede

I would really like to see some real world perspective on this. Hopefully someone will report here with their experiences.

just head over e90post. i know the e90 forum members know way more than anyone on the e60 forum regarding the twin turbo engine. most of us here would maybe never touch the engine, but on e90post, ppl have modded the twin turbo engine to the point where the car was able to keep up with an e60 m5 in p500 mode. im dont want to be know it all, but want to share what I have learned to you all.

Procede is alright.. I would go with Active Autowerke's XEDE chip

http://www.activeautowerke.com/turbo/e60535/main.php
adds 80+ hp.. plus active is a reputable brand, I've never really heard of Procede until recently.. and as far as Dinan.. with them you always have to wait, over pay, and really over pay.. their products just aren't worth the money.. don't get me wrong they are grea quality just not reasonable..
