I stand by my statement. Nobody has anything that will have any real impact, including Dinan. The Dinan software will raise your rev limiter (I never drove much at redline, myself). They will sell you a replacement paper air filter for the same air box. They will also sell you a less restrictive throttle body. Or, you could push the accelerator down more and accomplish the same thing (unless you are already driving at WOT). I didn't drive my 3.0 wide open much, either.

The Dinan software for the turbocharged models makes sense to me. With a NA engine, you can look at a supercharger kit, but it would be easier just to buy the turbocharged version of the X5 that is coming out in a few months.
