I live in CT and will be taking my car to Marco at Turner to get it (535 or 550) tuned. They use the AFE and Hartge tunes. I'm also told that Vishnu is working on a 535 N55 PROceed Tune for later this year.
Crank HP. All factory HP numbers are derived from dyno at the crank, not wheels.

None of those above tunes carry a warranty. If you are going to tune your $75k-$80k 550i, I would highly recommend Dinan. Huge power increase, peace of mind that comes with a warranty, and lots of stages and other goodies.
