E53 Dinan Horsepower Bump

[2001DinanX5]

I have a 2001 E53 with; Stage 3 Engine Software, Stage 1 Transmission Software, Cold Air Intake, Throttle Body, and Exhaust (All Dinan). It has been so long and I just cant remember and cant find it anywhere. Can someone please tell me the HP and Torque specs with those upgrades??

I would go to BMW Performance Upgrades and Engine Tuning Software - Dinan, Leader in BMW Performance Parts and Upgrades or call them for specs - Are you a M62 or M54?

I have tried to get the info from Dinan but no luck yet. I have the M62. What is the difference?

I guess I asked for that. I thought it would be assumed it was a 4.4 since I have never seen a 6 cyl with those mods. Guess I need to know every BMW codename before I would expect a legit response from anybody. O wait... the Go Dyno it was totally legit. I should have thought of that.

I've seen plenty of M54's with those mods on E46Fanatics or ZHPMafia or on the E39 boards at Bimmerfest - which is why i asked.

Dinan no longer makes their cold air intake or exhaust that I can tell for the M62 so there are no specs on that. The Stage 3 software is for use with the throttle body and optimizes it, I'm not sure it gives more power.

So going off stage 1 software per Dinan website:
-9 hp and 11 ft lbs

High Flow Throttle Body:
-Rated at 8 hp and 8 ft lbs

Since Dinan doesnt have specs on their intake I used AFE's - they claim 10 hp and 20 ft lbs

The exhaust I dont have any specs I can find or any comparable exhausts for their power numbers - so based on the above you can estimate approx 30 hp and 40 ft lbs at the crank added from the mods. And that took me all of 5 mins in a Dinan website search and AFE website.
