I don't know exactly the procedure, but I was told by my engineer that he will programm my DME directly with the 3.0 L OEM data (not by the VIN number DME programming/update procedure) I have seen in person in his store a 520i, on which he did the swap to 530i with the 520 DME, without problems. He did an additional chip tuning as well after the DME programming.
I will keep you posted.

The car that I'm talking about ...and the DME.

You can be happy with 330-350 HP, that, trust me, they aren't so much .
About installation... 7-8 hours and it is a reversible mod
I'm wondering if Nick installed his 3.0i or not..

Which is this kit? Will it not put too much strain in the engine? I just want a little bit more torque thats it....maybe I should just get the sprint booster after all lol
