DINAN TUNING

Has anyone here with an X5 50i that did a Dinan tune on their vehicle? The reason I ask is that I am very interested in getting one, but not sure if the tune is cost effective. It seems the added 96+hp is ok, but what impresess me the most is the 573 lb-ft @3500!!,,,that's why I am calling out the people who got the Dinan tune for their opinion!!

I am sure a few have done it but don't know why they haven't responded. Their reports are favorable, saying there is a noticeable difference.

Dinan is always very expensive and typical very good. You can not go wrong. But if I were you I would look at Active AutoWerke's tune:
Active Autowerke X6 (TT 4.4) Performance Software -- Active Autowerke Online Store

Or ESS: N63 DirectFlash ECU Performance Software - ESS Tuning | BMW Tuning Parts | BMW Racing, Tuning, Aftermarket, Performance Parts | Engine Power Chips | Performance Upgrades Chip

And not to mention EuroCharged: I have their tune on my M5. Very impressive.

I have only heard of 1 person who has ever stated that Dinan overstates their numbers. I see Dinan as being the most conservative on there HP numbers if anything.
