Dinan puts a sticker on the door jam next to where the dealer would plug in the GT1 that says before doing and reprogramming call Dinan to verify the software version to put BACK in the car when the dealer is done
Hmm...driver's side door? I didn't see anything on my car.

I have a half circle shaped sticker up where the door hinge is. It is important that you have it so that the dealer knows to reprogram the software when they change anything.

I don't have a camera in my office but maybe Roleez can take a pic for us.

begin to die around 5000-5500RPM or does it pull strong to redline?

Exacty, this is the question to do : stock 545i died at 5500 rpm . My remapped 545i now pull pretty strong to redline .

Maybe different for the 550 but my car does not die or stop accelerating at any rpm in any gear.

Just double checked and it's not there.

Stock 545i dies over 5-5000 rpm for pollution emission, not for the engine (the engine, anyway, is the same with +8% cilinder displacement) . And also the 550i is surely strangled with the stock map .

Yeah, Steve does all of his high speed runs middle of the day on Monterey road. There is a spot where if you go up about 3-4 miles from Morgan hill and make a U-turn you will have approx 2-3 miles of not one cross street or stop light and a tall divider in the middle. I have been on one of those rides in the S3-R M3 too almost 190 and never even saw another car on the road.

Still nuckin futz like you said

Good question, I do not have the HUD but maybe Roleez does.
Good Idea, next mod needs to be the M5 Speedo if it is compatible?
