up to you

but dont complain about BMW unrealibility and bad quality after you install it .... you know you like to do it )

Not sure how long the gearbox will last... BMW themselves didn't push too far even with the new engine, which has 4 turbines: only +19 hp and 20 NM.

This is the main reason I am holding back from chip tuning for now...
Watching with interest...

I'm going to try out a box promising 460bhp and 860nm and on the basis I've had the car dyno'd at 800nm already, I would suggest BMW are not so concerned on the rating.
