I had seen that you had done this Pennetta, but just assumed that you owned the car. Do you in fact lease this car? I lease myself and this was the reason that I could see not doing this upgrade at this time. I am sure that BMW would frown on returning the car in 3 years after having this upgrade installed. Did you talk with BMW about doing this upgrade or just did it without asking?
Thanks,
Thanks,
If you look in the classifieds, Dinan cars trade for more than non-Dinan modified cars.

Well, I got my manual tranny 535i a few days ago and am really enjoying it (the first night after I got it I didn't sleep well because I was so anxious to get up and drive it). It's quick, but coming from a steptronic 545 I'm counting the miles to get past the break in period and install the Dinan software. I'm really enjoying all the comments in this thread.

Thanks pennetta. I wasn't worried about the $2000 on a rented car. I have $4500 in wheels and tires on my rented car. I just was concerned about what BMWNA might say. Unlike you I did not buy from a Dinan dealer so they may not be as accomodating upon return. I totally agree with you for $2000 over the term of a lease it is money well spent.
