Well, the 535 isn't on their website, so I dunno where to get more info. like pricing and stuff. Is it still in testing?
an ECU reflash is definitely more appealing than a piggyback IMO

I think there is a turbo for the 530. I'm pretty sure someone posted a video of it within the past two weeks. But I feel the same way with the 535. Call me spoiled, but I feel all the attention goes to the E46/90 M3, the 335i, and the M5 (sometimes). Atleast, more than the 535. Every tuner website I go to has the 530 and then the 545 listed as "choose your car." Not even the 550. It aggravates the hell out of me; then I realize I have no money, so why should I be sad about it, and it makes me feel better. Or worse.
