You may want to rethink any Dinan mods for your E60. Read all the way through these threads...

the dinan stage 1 was great. Then had an SB tested with it, i almost had a breaking neck. If u have a feather foot, go for it.

That would make you the second member in about a week to report that the combo of Dinan ECU reflash plus SB made the throttle response very jerky. That other member recently put his SB up for sale.

Scott, start with a scoop and a BMC air filter. Maybe at some point get an exhaust (but I think you've said before that you have no space to store the orig. parts, so...) Mods that you can't take with you when the lease is over are a real waste of money - I think we all know that much, bud!

Doesn't the scoop require you to cut into the air box? If so, that is not really easily reversible at the end of a lease without buying some additional new parts. Exhaust is just out of the question for me. I've got no place to store the OEM exhaust.

Air filter I would do. Given that I have got over 2 1/2 years on the lease, I would be fine with enjoying the benefits of a reflash for that tome period.
