that your way of saying you don't know


to the OP

for dinan tune, check dinan site for local authorized dealers


you can also look into the powerchip: http://www.fueltronics.com.au/choices.asp?...erchipgroup.com


pro's: more HP's , with dinan...you will still have some type of warranty....
cons: $$$...IIRC, with the powerchip you may have to send them your ecu...with dinan, can't remember if you lose your ecu flash if you get a SW update from the dealer...hopefully others will chime in...

it might help if you listed what 5 series you have and where you are located!

As Gene mentioned, Powechip and Dinan are the two best options.
If you can find an authorized dealer near where you live, you can get either flashes done withing a few hours.
PROs: increased HP, increased torque, better gas mileage when driving at normal speeds, top speed de-limited, undetectable by dealership
CONs: High price, speeding tickets, increased willingness to spend more $$$ on other mods
