guys iam replying thru my phone so I can't quote each one and answer them.but ill try my best to reply so hopefully you now what you asked otherwise this won't make sense.
reflash is not recommended but it does help.I had my afe and noticed a difference as soon as I drove it.
to me you can definitely hear the difference but not to be compared with the hondas.
my wife was outside when I dogged the car donw the street and I asked if she heard me coming?and she said no,lol
couldn't tell what wheels was on there cus it was moving and I was on the opposite side of the freway.what I did notice was the tail light looks like it was tinted.
guys I also been keeping an eye out with the mpg.before when I drove from dublin to hercules about 30 miles going 70mph steady not dogging.I would get about 27mpg to 28mpg.tonight I came from his house so I reset the trip and got 26.5mpg when I got home ad I was doing 75mph to 80mph consistantly.I only had the tune for a day and half.sonic ms says try to dog it as much as possible and will gain more mpg down the line once the computer learns my driving habbit.so for those that didt get no tune,sb,afe its a must.
$245 sb
$269 afe
$420 ecu tune
best $1k I spent defiantely makes a differece.

YES!! I got the Sprint Booster, Speed Innovation ECU Tuning, Remus Quad Exhuast, and AFE CAI.. installed in that order over the past few months.. and definitely my 530i feel like a completely different car... more agressive and more fun!!

It depends. How attached are you to your hood?
