The only two that I know of that give you a significant increase in HP/TORQUE are

1) Hartge
2) Dinan

Both equivalent in power increase. Hartge more expensive but I would rely on them more than DINAN since they have been a BMW tuner for an extremely long time. Was also told by Hartge that the Dinan tune is only a software upgrade while the Hartge tune is a completely new ecu module with wiring harness etc etc etc. which i think might be more reliable in the end, but thats my take on it.

I raced my friend with the Dinan software and was surprised with the results, I walked him by about 3 cars and my truck was definitely way heavier than his.

You can purchase our new Direct Flash and program your X5 / X6 50i yourself. This eliminates the need to remove and ship the ECU and also allows for your stock file to be loaded at anytime. This is a great feature to have for trips to the dealer.

Active Autowerke make a great software product for the X5 M/ X6 M that shows amazing performance!

The performance increase is also very impressive especially when when add a set of downpipes!

Software and Downpipes and you'll be running 11's!

Glad to see you found a tune that would work for you and your vehicle.


Any plans on a dyno ?
