NO its no big deal man. Everyone has their priorities.

But Whats funny is, I don't race ever. I get on it here n there.

I'd be happier with the power the way it is if their wasn't a drop off in the DMEs causing loss of power. That's the only thing that im upset about.

BMS Stage 1 is great and if the dme didn't do what it did, i can't imagine what the car can do just with that.

Its funny because i actually drive really slow everywhere. So for me, its all about safety. But I dont drive my 5 series very much anyways.

I guess im use to that, because my car has been over here and over there getting proto-type work.

Only real reason I wanted you to dyno is because what I text you about yesterday, and out of sheer curiosity. Feel better.

Look up what the roads look like in NYC and see where dyno'ing my car falls in my priority list.

With that said i have no issues with bringing my car to get it dyno'ed but you guys really need to chill out. Can i make time to go? sure. Is it first on my list of things to do. Nope.

This is quite funny considering you guys are b1tching about a car that can pretty much run high 11's or low 12's being too slow...

end rant//

Excuse me but being sick like a dog all week and trapped in my house got me worked up.

The 550i (and xi) is a lux cruiser, not a drag racer. End of discussion.

Is it quick when tuned and even stock, yes.

I agree that the power drop off isn't ideal, but it is what it is. There is no tweaking for Stage 1...

It'll only be fixed if a stage 2 ever comes out with more direct control. Now that terry has an S63TU M5 I think it's more likely than before, so that's a good thing.

I have a S2 N63 setup that I am getting Dyno'd soon, and I'll be running my car on 2/22 in NJ w/ BadBlack.

I've been one of the only ones testing the S2 and providing tons of feedback to Terry. BadBlack's S2 has been out of his car for a while and won't be back in, for at least a few more days to a week.

Nice can't wait to see your 1/4 mile times / MPH and Dyno numbers. Keep us posted.
