I am booked in for Tuesday evening to record a baseline dyno. Then, on Wednesday morning I get the Stage 2 tune 
I'll run the tune for a few days  and then go back to the dyno, perhaps at the weekend, to see what the gains I have in practice.
Other developments that I plan are:
1. Quaife LSD
2. Dinan Cold Air Intake
3. BMW Perf Exhaust
4. Dinan Strut Tower Brace
5. Dinan Oil Cooler
6. Dinan Intercooler
7. Stage 3 S/W
8. Dinan Stage 3 suspension (not yet available for the convertible - est. released in 6 months).
I want to do the mods that provide the best performance bang for my buck first, so let me know if you think I should consider changing the build order or add/subtract something (with reasons why).

Dinan is expensive partly because of the warranty. I would spend my money differently and if something breaks, use the money I save by going cheaper. That is if BMW doesn't pay for it.
I wouldn't recommend stacking any tunes. The jb+ is not designed to go on top of Dinan. Just go to Terry's website and read his official marketing. I don't recall anything about designing to stack on Dinan.
