Increases to 510hp/553ft-lb, yes please! I have not heard much about this company. Since I am leasing I will either Dinan or nothing. That being said, I am very interested to see how your experience goes. Good luck!

Correct me if i'm wrong but on their website i don't see any tune for the M550i, just the device for throttle mapping which doesn't make the car any faster. Am I missing something?

4 hours drive to LA is not that bad. Haha.
I got quite a few of F15 X5 customers who drove to me to get some works done.

I have ordered a BMS stage one tune. It should be here late next week. I looked at the race chip also but hadn't heard much about them and not much BMW history that I could find online. I will let everybody know the my thoughts after install.

You should check F15/F16 X5/X6 and F85/F86 X5M/X6M forums.
I have sold a lot to fellows X5/X6/X5M/X6M, all happy with it and been recommending to others.
That's why I also run RaceChip on my G30 540.

I had a engine light error but it turms out my settings were a bit off. Racechip support acted pretty fast and corrected my installers error. I still plan to do a few dyno pulls this week as soon as i find the time.

Sorry to hear this news -- as I was following this thread hoping for a different outcome. I've had many tunes on my cars over the years and found Dinan to be consistently reliable and stable. Yes, it's a lot of $$$$ for a simple bump in power but you do get peace of mind. I suspect that's why a lot of BMW dealers offer Dinan. It's simple and low risk on the engines. Were you able to figure out the CEL?

Yeah. ..i think imight have jumped the gun a bit. I edited my last post and ill give it a bit more time and testing. The engine light error had to do with my chip not being set for 91 fuel. But again kudo's to mike at racechip for the fast response. And as soon as i started the car again the error was gone. Maybe its sort of a placebo effect but ill let the dyno judge the throttle response
