From looking at Dinan's website I thought that was only with the E39 M5? Their remap did make some changes (torque etc), just no specific gain on HP.

Hey Alex,
About a month ago I had all the Dinan performance upgrades added to my 2005 545i. It added approximately 27+/- hp. I noticed a significant difference in sound as well as performance. The note the exhaust gives is deep and throaty. I would recomend Dinan to any one who is looking for true performance gains.

Like many of you, I own a 545i. I have to say I'm fairly happy with the car, but I wouldn't mind having a few extra horsepower. What would you recommend to obtain a net gain of at least 30hp? Any experiences and recommendations will be welcome.
Regards,
Alex

Anyone with any doubt about the legitimacy of these guys (DMS) need only read this thread.

I already had the sport muffler and just added the Dinan high flow cold air intake. I have kicked it in the butt a few times and WOW! Yes, you can feel it. I'm thinking I am at 347 hp now.

Uh, that's on a turbo car - no? Remapping a turbo car (aka increasing the boost) can do wonders. It won't help a NA car much however.
. DMS are legitimate, their stated gains are going to be legitimate (and as the table above shows, some other tuners claim more).
