N63 swiss chiptech vs jb4?

Contemplating either the chiptech or the jb4 for my 550i. Any comments on either?

I don't believe JB4 is available for the 550

you have access to RDS/ACS/Hartge in HK ? ... but they are very pricey !

As far as I know, in North America there are RDS, ACS, Dinan & Active Autowerke (still working on the software - supposed to be ready for release in a couple of months time)

Nah... I don't want a full flash. Just piggy back tunes that I can take off easily

the sales/support guy from Cobb tuning did not even know the F10 550 is a twin turbo car. He thought it is a NA V8. I have to reply back and correct him (Stephen Le).

For the E60 535, it took GIAC 2 years to come out (Fall 2009) with their flash and by then, the F10 is already at the door step (Spring 2010).

My guess is GIAC will not have one for the 550 but the 535 is most likely in about 2 years time. By then, LCI F10 is again knocking on the door.
