I might do an ECU reflash if I was convinced that it could give me a significant boost in power.

...I might get a RPI scoop if I can be convinced that its installation will not cause me problems at lease end after I remove it...
Someone tell Scott that you've had an RPi scoop and removed and returned the car to BMW with no problems, please. I'd say it myself, but he'll know I'd be lying 
The ECU remap, however, is a waste of money IMHO, but you already knew that

On a 550?!?!!? Yes, it will give you a very nice boost. I agree with the lowering (I used to live in Manhattan too - 78th+York)

The recent thread re the Dinan mods was very disappointing.
P.S. The RPI scoop is like 2 or 3 tiny screws once removed they'd be hard pressed to find anything resembling "damage"

That's Dinan, what about RPI - yes they have one too and ActiveAutoWerks - they have one as well
