I'm not sure which motor you're referring to, but I see $640 w/ a minimum of 14hp and 12ft lbs of torque on a stock motor, and upwards of 16hp and 19ft lbs of torque (i'm guessing w/ intake and exhaust). I've never used Powerchip on either my 7 or my X, but they were VERY popular in the M5 groups when I had mine. I personally wouldn't buy just software, i'd also do intake (cone filter/tubing manifold swap) and exhaust mods beforehand, making the software a better bang for the buck.
$$Dinan$$ isn't much better for just getting software alone either for $399. They only get 9hp and 11ft lbs of torque on a notoriously conservative tune compared to others.
