I am pretty anxious too. Still waiting to see about the IND tune but, it seems that they didn't have ready for bimmerfest. Hmmmmmm. Leaning towards the Eurocharged right now.

Why don't you just send a feeler about the Manhart tune to Franz Simon at MHR? Really nice guy who will give you the info you need before making up your mind

As above; Get in touch with Franz Simon before making up your mind

After all, the Manhart tune has proven results against other cars.

I am in contact with Franz Simon too. Very appealing tune.
My biggest concern is that if the software gets overwritten by the dealer when they do a software upgrade the ECU needs to be send again to Manhart and back (1 1/2 weeks plus shipping costs)

Yep same situation here. I think that Stage 2 is the right move for me, but I don't want to a) be down while the ECU goes to Germany, and b) if there is a major issue that requires dealer intervention have to wait the time for the ECU to go to Germany and back for reflash to OEM spec before service and then another trip across the pond to get the ECU reflashed after warranty service.

Not that I am anticipating any problems but I would rather not deal with a service manager telling me they won't touch the car or fix whatever is wrong under warranty due to the tune. Just not worth it.

What you demonstrated with the traction control (at high speed) make me wonder if you can comment on your drive-ability at more 'natural' speeds around your area? Are you having to baby at lower speeds to keep it under control? Or is it still luxurious and compliant when you want it to be?

Also, It is very cool that it sounds like your fuel economy at cruise has improved as a secondary impact.
I think the traction light flicker has nothing to do with wheel slip at high speed. This is my video of the M6.....traction light flickers at around 100MPH, and that is definitely NOT WHEELSPIN.

Just posted on your other thread. You may want to call him again today as he told me that he would be willing to fly to the US. Don't mean to hijack, just trying to help get it going.

I've got Hennessy motorsport 40 minutes from me, Don't know why, but they don't tune any bmw's. If they did something I bet it would be badazz. They do work on the Gtr though.

Boots, they don't have a very good reputation with a lot of the Mopar guys. My wife's GC SRT8 is a good example - the forum members on the that site are not happy with Hennessy.

That started back in the Viper days. This has been going on for years.

I always thought Hennessey had it good. I've read good things and seen on tv but never visit those other forums to know. Thought their viper was supposed to be the bomb along with their Camero. I do know two guys down here with Hennessy cameros from cars n coffee that are badazz.

I have a 550 stage 5 and let me tell you that you don't need a tune to compete against it

The M5 is way faster specially after 80mph... You should still get the tune though

I am going to wait for Dinan on my new M5

Glad this worked out so well for you. Like we have previously discussed, Manhart is really the only reputable company that is getting these types of gains. They have shown it now for many mile son their own car and now proven it on your car. They are really the only source to go to for those kinds of power gains. Only one I would trust myself. Dinan will be good when theirs hits the market. Congrats!

What happened to your preference for the Noelle tuning package from Performing Imports. Don't you have that tune package on your own car?
