Problem is, is it worth giving up the warranty ...

I am not much of a fact dredger but Cidair in this post points out that factory numbers are:
- M3 E92 M-DCT 0 -100 km/h = 4.6s
- 550i xDrive 8-spd auto 0 -100 km/h = 4.8s

Now take off the xdrive which is not for performance and adds extra weight, we are looking at a neck to neck 0- 100 km/h. Drop a Dinan upgrade in it and the M3 is sucking wind to catch up.
The Hartge ECU comes with engine and drive train warranty.

VBOX figures for my 550iX: 0-100 km/h 4.5s 0-200 km/h 14.5s
VBOX figures for my M3: 4.6s 14.9s
