We took our time and took lots of pics from my cell phone in case we forget. It took us about 75 minutes taking our time. If you are mechanically incline, piece of cake. As with Dinan, I was going over the cost if you want a Stage 2, $5000-7000.....WOW

I have to save $ with my 1er bc I am planning to get another Toy after selling my E92 M3......LOL
Where are you getting $5000-7000 for a Dinan Stage 2 tune? It's currently $1003.50 plus install by a Dinan dealer or $1198.50 for the DIY kit. I paid something around $700 with install during the half off sale Dinan was running.

On waiting for the MHD, I had concerns about any potential problems from being the first batch of customers having their DMEs unlocked. Following their progression with figuring the unlock out, they were running into problems and didn't want to be one of the first dealing with the growing pains. I'm glad it looks like MHD has it all figured out as it's great to have more choices out there. But there's something to be said about a company which has been doing BMW tuning for years and the fact you can pretty much guarantee no issues with any of their products being installed in your car. You can't say the same for other popular tuning products.
