My Ride: 2008 535i: June 6th start build, complete June 17th, at NY Port July 5th, at dealer July 10th, took delivery Friday July 13- Plantimum Bronze/Natural Brown Leather/Light Poplar, Sport Package, Sport Auto, Active Steering, Premium Package, CWP & PDC. Dinan Performance Software 384hp & 421 ft/lbs.

The performance claims don't seem likely. The chipping that you have been hearing about is with the turbo cars. There is nothing you can change with software alone, unless you drastically advance the timing which would require octane above 93, that would result in 38 hp. I guess if you were worried about passing emissions inspection, you could really richen up the fuel mixture but 38 hp would be a lot.
I would somehow validate their claims.

I fill up with 94 ultra everytime. I know everyone seems to be boasting their HP improvments but im just looking for the most dependble one with high hp.
