I can't say which is best. I know that KCR is quite popular here in Sweden. KCR
Easy to install (as most of them - just remember to unplug it before service or if the car malfunctions )
Adds some 30 hp and about 75-100 Nm of extra torque (w 177 hp engine).
We'll have to wait and see what kind of magic they can do with the F10.


Other vendors are:
Chiptuning Direkt
Chip Express

My Ride: My ex-ride: EU '08 LCI 520dA. Space Grey, Sport Seats in Black Leather/Fabric Anthracite, Sport Steering Wheel, A/C with Extended Features, Hi-Fi Speakers, Cup Holders, Cruise with Braking function, Folding Rear Seats, Xenons, Park Distance Control.

If the power is so damned important, one should buy the 535i or 550i.
If a diesel is a must, wait for the new 535d.

All these cars has or will have more than 300 hp,
and a s**t load of torgue.

But according to the Swedish BMW F10 catlogue I read,
not auto-stop function the the 8-speed 520dA, yet.

Only for the 6 speed manual tranny.
I talked to my dealer today and he confirmed that Auto Start/Stop will be available with auto tranny in the future. He could not specify when though. Neither could he confirm if it will be available through a software upgrade or if there will be some additional hardware involved.

520d with my spec comes to US$160k with 210% import duty on base invoice value and a 530d or 535d would be around US$430k with 600% duty so 520d is my only option .
