I'm sure that's not including "labor". I'd also expect it to be an easy plug n play type process, but I know a lot of times the car ends up sitting on the computer for quite a while.

Your cobb tune would overwrite the software tune ("Version 1" of the PPK). Obviously, if you did Version 2 you'd still benefit from the additional hardware.

If you don't mind losing (*possibly*) having warranty issues, Dinan, Cobb, JB, etc is defintiely a lot more bang for your buck. I stuck with the BMW PPK route because I wanted to keep my extended warranty.

I agree, this sounds pretty much like what I had installed a few months back, just with the option of software only ("Version 1").

Overall it's a good tune and the hardware does make a difference. I've been happy with it but it is definitely expensive for the performance gains.
