^I have the TB... just recently found that out during a service actually. I think I have the engine and trans software as well, but am not sure. @ 50% off now seems like the time to upgrade if I don't... hmmmmmm.

Same (stage 1), transformed the beast now.

Looking at Dinan's website. Anyone know how much the stg3 software upgrade is supposed to give you with the intake and throttle body?

I don't know. But I do know that the stage 1 tune on the 3.0 is good for an astounding 4hp. How did they even measure that? Surely that's within the margin of error.

Having been to their facility, I'm sure if they are stating 4hp... it gets 4hp. Their dyno setup is pretty gnarly. They limit the variables much more than your average speed shop.

But the more I think about it, my X5 has the Dinan badge on it which means the original owner bought enough stuff to get 10 points. I've got the high flow intake, throttle body, front sway bar, and mufflers. I don't know if that's enough for 10 as Dinan no longer lists how many points the bar and the mufflers were worth. So I'm guessing mine has a good chance of having the engine software on it already, especially since it has the TB on it.

If it has the rest, I'd also guess it probably has the tune. Who would spring that much for all the dinan stuff and not get the accompanying tune.

3 points for the mufflers, 2 for the brace.

Best I can do is stage 3A for a 4.6. All stages require Dinan low restriction exhaust. Stage 3 performance numbers include Dinan throttle body, High flow air intake system and transmission software. The stock 4.6 is 340HP/371TQ. Stage 3A took it to 363HP/378TQ. A guess would be to take the same increases for the low side and figure the percentage of increase for the 4.6 and apply that percentage as the high side. The numbers will drop significantly without low restriction exhaust. Transmission software reduces 0-60 time because of faster and crisper shifts.

I suggest asking Dinan.

Got mine registered and road ready for the storm tomorrow. Put three new washer pumps in as they were clogged with some nasty brown algae mess.

Replaced the right rear wheel bearing today.

Sheesh. What a way to spend six hours.

Car drives like a new one. I'm hearing noises I've never heard before, like road noise from the tires and wind whistling in the roof rails. And that's a good thing!

Used an FAG part (NZ $170) along with about about NZ$400 worth of new tools.

The other three wheel bearings in the car are quivering in fear and I expect no more trouble from any of them...
