best tuning/chip for 550i?

Hey guys,

i've been running the BMS JB4 on my 535i, and was happy with that given the pricing and overall lack of selection.

Now I'm turning in my 535i at end of lease and have bought a 2011 550i and am going to want to add some power to it right away.

Is BMS still the best bang for the buck?

Thanks

I read the whole thread over at n54tech, but for those running stage 2, are all the kinks worked out or is it still a work in progress? I was reading about problems with MAF sensor and other malfunctions.

Stage 2 is running strong and is the best option. Any issues that are showing up were already in the car, the tune just magnifies them in my opinion. I had injectors changed on mine.

Does the BMS stage 2 require wire splice like on N55?
