A 10/06 MT test reports 0-60 of 5.1; 1/4 ET of 13.6, and 1/4 TV of 104.3 for the 335i TT Coupe. I think that the car will be a good competitor for the 550i, and with a tiny pulley change, watch out. Of course, there's always the warranty issue. Maybe Dinan will offer a pulley change--which helps on the warranty issue a fair amount IMO. The only US test to date (RT 7/06) of the 550i shows 0 -60 of 5.0; 1/4 ET of 13.5; and 1/4 TV of 105.0

Forget the underdrive pulleys... I want Dinan to release a re-map to increase the boost pressure. That should be good for quite a bit of extra hp.

I would have thought re-mapping would be pretty straightforward, given what people are pulling out of diesels these days...
Ah - sorry. Prior post appeared just before I posted this! Thanks, Roleez

mmm... you and ZnoD seem to know something (many things) I don't... What's this about underdrive pulleys? I've done a quick search, but I can't find much (this is the only thread where both terms appear)
