I REALLY wish I didn't have to spend the extra money. Also, I don't even know if Dinan will have a chip for the E90. I'm speculating, since they always had, and they're purely a BMW shop...
That said, MAYBE BMW has learned that the US market doesn't want a sluggish feeling car, and they'll program the ECU with a fun program. I had a good time while driving in Europe, and I can't wait to actually start pushing the car. But truth be told -- with the reprogrammed ECU in my 330Ci, my car was very very responsive to gas input. Some people might not like it. I loved it. But that's probably the reason that BMW chose to, by default, add a delay, so that for most consumers, it would appear as a luxury car, and not as a sports car...
There are arguments for it from either side.

I know the feeling.
I have a Triple Dinan package on my 323Ci, which includes the ECU upgrade.
But the car still felt (oh no, there's that word again: FELT) quite peppy BEFORE I did the Dinan conversion.
Even more so afterwards. But of course, the 323/328 didn't have Drive-By-Wire.
O.K., now I'm worried.....
