Im on the fence about getting the Dinan performance software. I was ready a couple of months ago, until I heard BMW was coming out with there own version. Now that I see this isnt true, im thinking of going for Dinan. What do you guys think??? I have the K&N, Sprint Booster and the B&B exhaust. Will this make any difference. Thanks for your opinions.

I have had the software since March and it has been great. Much better throttle response and the increased redline was much needed.....for me at least. You will feel a difference.

Oh yeah and I have NOT had any "check engine" or running issues.

Yep. Stage 3 is for use with throttle body. I guess they skipped Stage 2 because they don't have an intake for the 550. So I'm wondering why don't they just call the Stage 3 with TB, a Stage 2?

You might as well get the throttle body.
