Stereotype - so should I assume Aussies are sensitive and can't take a joke? I also own a Chevy Blazer, Suzuki TL1000R and a 740iL - does that also make me white trash, a biker punk and a guy who's well off? All I'm trying to say that, even in your own words, if its too good to be true, then it usually is. If you want performance mods, get software from someone like www.powerchipgroup.au or $$Dinan$$.

Good god! I just visited www.powerchipgroup.com and for the low low price of $840, I can get a whole 10hp and 10ft/lb of torque! Not worth the time, effort, money and risk of imploding my engine. I'd rather save my coin and buy a BBK or an aero kit or a great set of rims or .....

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.
