Has anyone had Dinan Stage 1 Software installed in their 2011 X5 50i?
 

Just curious: Now that Dinan has released Stage 1 Software for the 2011 X5 50i, has anyone had it installed as of yet? If so, would LOVE to hear your impressions. How much of a difference do you "feel" from stock?
I have all along been dreaming of an X5///M, but with another mini-me on the way I may have to scale back my ambitions and "settle" for a 50i + Dinan Stage 1. It will come out a good $12k-14k cheaper, and in any event I'm pretty sure I can be content with 495 hp...

Stan...pm member: Habanero950 over at xbimmers dot com for impressions on his X6 50i. I believe he also had the 7RR performance package. Was looking forward to tearin' up some North-East tarmac with ya in our M's but the 50i is def' no slouch. I heard about a fella with a Eurocharged tune (similar power #'s as Dinan) and he posted a 12.8s 1/4 mile time...very impressive.

Congratz on the mini-you...the young one gets to be a big bro! :thumbup:

Im going to have it done, just waiting for the stupid dealer to contact me

I guess it's still early since Dinan just released it recently. Would LOVE to hear some feedback once folks try the Stage 1 on their 50i's. I know Dinan is never cheap, but this is the best bang-for-buck I have seen from Dinan thus far. I remember 3 years ago I paid them $4k on my 4.4i (CAI, exhausts, throttle body, software) only to get an extra 25-30 hp. So to get a 95 hp boost for under $3k seems like a pretty decent deal.
Ranger: keep us posted!

You just sold yourself. 4000/30 compared to 3000/95
