        RPI scoops? Very good mod...Pulley's very good as well...ecu? Not for me. But most people like them, better shifting (SMG), higher redline, increased throttle response, minimal hp gains. Pulley's and RPI definitely worth it.

        The scoops will give you a thrill after 70mph. RPM needle will fly though 6k-8k.

        The chip you will have to get used to, but once you do you'll love it. You start driving the car more in P400 than P500. M-Mode is just insane.

        Pully's.. I haven't done, and i'm not sure if I will.

        Get an exhaust! IMO it MAKES the car. I have the dinan exhaust. ::

        Absolutely! The stock exhaust sadly suppresses the natural V-10 sound.

        Gains will depend on the dyno, because dynos do vary a bit, as do dyno operators and dyno conditions (what kind of fan is used, the air temp, etc).

        We've seen on average 10-15 hp gain to the wheels on the RPi scoops. If you dyno using a seriously high powered fan (like Dinan uses, or a Dastek, or Cincinnati Fan HDBI), the dyno will show a greater increase in power. There's a few hp additional gain if you switch out the stock air filters to BMC.

        For our pullies, we've seen roughly 15HP gain on a DynoJet inertial dyno. Some have reported more. The EvoSport ones are not quite as light as the RPi ones, but they're close enough that the HP gain should be very similar.

        In terms of software, we haven't seen very much gain on the 500hp mode. BMW really did a great job, IMHO, given typical gas quality/formulation in the USA. You may gain 8-10hp or so more from software with respect to a stock or near stock car. The main improvement is in shifting feel, throttle response, delimiting, raising redline, etc.
