535i Flash tune

Does any one know of a flash tune for the 535?
VR tuned seems to have an OBD port tune but when I emailed them they suggested I purchase their piggyback tune instead.

Piggyback tune is your best option at this time. All the flash tune we have heard about, you need to send your ECU and get it flashed at the shop. It costs ~$2000 and they did not show any advantages yet over piggy back.
On the contrary at this point a JB4 would be a better choice since it can do code reading deleting, datalogs and several maps to choose from. With the current flash solutions, you will need to send your ECU back everytime you need to do any changes.

Mike makes valid points to consider..
If your getting a flash, I would find a shop and get it done on the spot with a Dyno to see the results.. Currently the Ecu has to be flashed on the bench and not thru the OBD port
