Measures:
Horsepower
Torque
60 Ft. Time
1/8th & 1/4 mile
0-60 & 0-100-0mph
RPM & Shiftlights
Handling Gs
Record up to 30 runs
3 precision sensors
Road Racing/Autocross
PASS Software
Multiple Vehicle Support
2hr data-acquisition
Well, I guess I'll compare it with Scott's 550i and Rich's 535i. It's more real life numbers with the GTECH...probably much better than the dyno since drag coeff, weight, etc is all taken into account. I wish I bought this GTECH sooner so I can see how it is bone stock. Actually, who has a BONE STOCK 545i who wants to give it a shot when I get the GTECH? Then it'll kinda gimme a baseline. Then I'll cover up the second dual intake hole with some duct tape and do a quick run. Then do one with the full dual duct. Mebbe I'll also remove the RPi scoops and see how much more it gives me.

I'd let him know that the entire E60 community -- that is, a big chunk of Dinan's customer base -- will be watching.

By the way, how did you like your 03 540 sport?
I've always been a big fan of this car and almost bought one in January.
After reading Ken Rockwell's review I fell in love.
