My Ride: 06 550i Titanium Gray/Auburn interior. Sprintbooster, RPI Scoop W/BMC Filter, RPI exhaust, 20" Miro 111
jus got it in and took it to work today...i can feel a difference, the car seems to shift smoother for some reason, the power band smoother too, there are a lot less flat spots when accelerating, i deff feel more power and torque
i had wanted to get over the 155mph mark b/c the top speed limiter was removed but i ran out of highway lol and traffic was a bitch earlier, but still had some fun
i would recommend if anyone is thinking powerchip to do it now while the price is 490+shipping instead of the regular price of 1490 or 1100...the shipping for me was $110 total for fedex overnight to cali,i believe there are less expensive slower options i sent it out last thursday, they received it friday and had it back to me by monday, so im guessing it would be quicker during the week...

Active Steering, PDC, Nav, Comfort Access, Logic 7
Oem 19'' M6 Wheels...20% Tint All Around...Dinan CAI...Coming Soon:RPi Exhaust!!!
yea i did, the intake was the first mod i did, you feel the power gain mainly at higher speeds and im sure the Rpi scoops help, I got those soon after, not a huge difference but deff noticeable, dont know if its quite worth the money but that is for you to decide...hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions
