Since i've joined this forum i've seen some cars looking like everyone else's car except for color 
. Then MOD explosion 
and the car gets a new refreshed look 
but at what price 
? I bought my car new 
and for the price I paid for the spoiler, clear bra, winter setup, new wheels and tires I could have bought a loaded 550 or a certified M5. 
I guess it's the position we are in when were ready to buy
. I bought my car and I definitely did not want a $1000 a month payment 
so I got the 535xi versus the others 
. How do you guys feel? 
By the way no need to answer just wanted to get people thinking....

$0. I actually have free software from PES Tuning, but I am tentative to install due to concerns about warranty.

Dinan if you want to keep your warranty. There is a member who got his done for $2000 and I believe his HP went up by 74 or 84 HP. He's got 384 HP now and fully covered by Dinan..
Yeah... I seriously considered Dinan, but then I hear my wife's voice saying "why do you need to go faster?"
Easier to justify if it is free, but then I have the warranty concerns.
