I was very interested in something like this. Would love to know your experiences with it and how hard the install would be. Looks maybe a little more than I could handle looking at the instructions. Where did you get it from. I am very tempted by this little black box!!!!
I forgot to ask do you how you adjust between the maps from the cockpit I read somewhere you can modify the settings. Is there a module that mounts in the interior or something?

There are 7 different maps, they are switched with the gas peddle. Turn on the car so the radio starts but not the car. Press the accelerator down for 4 seconds, this resets the current map setting, then quickly press the gas peddle 1 time for map 1, 2 times for map 2, 3 times for map 3, 4 times for map 4 etc. The chip remebers the last setting you left it at when you start the car so you really only need to do this once if you want to leave it on all the time.
Level 3 is full throttle mapping and tuning on, level 2 is a little less agressive with the throttle mapping. I suspect I will leave it on 2 most of the time.

I got mine from N54tuning.com, was able to get a good price. PM Mike@n54tuning.com, he's a member here and has them for sale.

Thanks for the info did you install or have someone do it? It looks like it may beyond my expertise.

anything for a 530i??
I was actually wondering, how can I get my car to 300+ Hp without a supercharger, and what can I do to get more torque?
