Hey Guys,
I just installed Dinan Stage II from "Budd's BMW". Its nice
I couldn't really push the car too much because we are getting 20mm of rain today, and traffic is very slow everywhere. The couple of times that I did push it I was like "wow". I will write up the official review in a day or two, for now, sorry but you all have to wait. The thing that impressed me most is that the car feels like it did stock: There are not jerks when lifting off throttle, no noticeable increase in turbo lag, no noise. The car drives just the way it did, but only more powerful. It feels "on edge" and wants to say "push me more".
I will post a review soon, but I had to share this with somebody right away

There a bunch of fun things you can do to the turbo engine with Dinan and still have your warranty in effect. Enjoy the ride!

Your BMW warranty is not in effect
Don't worry nothing will break.
