Nope.

Investigated SB, Burger BMS Power Box, Swiss Chiptech. One shop recommended Burger to me. But for my NA engine only 10+hp and 10+ torque, seems like not worth it. May be for the turbo engines, much more increase.

Another thing is our cars are too new. No one wants to mess with the engine before the warranty period.

SB is very cheap and plug and play and also it dose not voild warranty.
I would not touch the engine, just too many thing go wrong
unless you planning to keep the car for year or 2 then yes mod the engine.
just add the SB, I just cant not live with out it.
Put it this way I would not drive my car if there is no SB installed.

Depends. I would not want SB/other ECU add-ons to my F10. Just can't really make use of it in HK. In my US days, I chip my cars like there is no tomorrow......

All the 3 brands I investigated are plug and play. Just take it out before going back to BMW.

The worry is the F10 software seems like a mess . I had 3 transmission malfunctions before 2000km driven. Just don't want to add any chip now. May be let other bro try it on their F10 first.

+1, don't drive crazy like the old days now. Too old.

More interested in aesthetic mods than performance mods now.

Never tried SD before but seems like the E90 bros recommend BMS more.

SB is to cut off the lag of the throttle response as for the BMS it is for extra power.
I was planning to get the BMS too, alot of ppl say it is good.
maybe you can try out my car 1st before you buy the SB or BMS

I would get it checked out if it jerks alot.
Dose it jerk on down shift going up hill?
if it dose then it will be the gear box needs to get a software update or rest the gearbox computer.

Already reinstall the throttle and transmission softwares. May be wait and see. Last time the car seems to jerk less as I put on more mileage. Only have a couple hundred km driven since the re-installaion.

Apart from those mentioned, you might want to see if the brand velocity is available in hk. I have installed it in my ride, plug n play with 4 setting modes.

you can not get this in HK
a guy sells this on the e60 forum which the price is OK too.
I was going to get this before I got the SBv2, many say the max setting is very mad, with loads of wheel spin for the 535 and 550
