Yeah, but that's only Stage I. Add an intake, then you need Stage II for another $200, Stage III for exhaust adds another $200, etc etc. I still have a bad taste in my mouth when it comes to $$Dinan$$ from my E39 M5 days and my current 740iL when myself and others we're discovering that some of their parts we're nothing more than rebadged factory peices, like my pre-VANOS MAF and intake manifold swap. These aren't my words, but as I mentioned above, they're known to be on the more conservative side of HP gains for the sake of those who install their stuff and have warranties. BMW's (minus the newer FI cars) have always had a terrible $ per HP ratio. so if I'm going to spend any money whatsoever for software, I'd rather get my money's worth instead of going with the rumored conservative guys.

Last time I was on Powerchips site, they had my 740iL listed for like $600, but as I said, you tell them your mods and it's make the software for that. One you add more mods, then I'm not sure what happens. I was just throwing it out there as an option to add to those researching software tuners. I probably wouldn't make a decision on anyone of them till I actually called and spoke to someone regarding their warranty for gains, upgrading options, etc and weigh all the options.
