Fascinating post.
I would be curious about a couple of small questions.
1. How signficiant was the improvement in handling with the carbon fiber braces?
2. I talked to a dealer about some dinan mods and they said the 2006 550i specs are out, but they cant do anything to an '07 yet because Dinan hasnt "Approved" the mods for the 07's. I would have guessed than '06 and '07 550's would be virtually identical for dinan purposes. Anyone with an '07 that has any Dinan mods yet?

2. I would send a PM to JetBlack. He used to work for Dinan and still has tight connections there.

Thanks Calton. Maybe you can use that to justify doing more stuff to you car.
