I guess the software would be more desireable to those who use WOT more often. I would say I go WOT at least once every time I drive my car. Multiple times in some instances. Personally, I don't think I would pay for any software upgrade if I had a 3.0 X5, but that is just me. A 1-2% gain isn't really worth it, imo.
I have a Conforti chip in my e36. According to Turner, my gains are 22 hp and 20 lb. ft., which seemed worth the $300 to me (even if those figures are slightly high). The increased RPM's seemed like an advantage as well.
