I would like to start this off with a fact... I read a lot about this reprogramming, and was on the fence about doying it. Of course, reading the pros, along with me getting used to the SMG (came from an 03 e39), helped me make a quick decission.

I coresponded with Vodyk, and with his help decided to give this a try. the install was pretty painless, following the directions. i held my breath before completing it, and it worked.

The outcome is great, and was able to tell the difference right away. Faster shifts, and 4K launch control... I am very happy with the final results and strongly recommend it. And the big plus, you don't have to ship and wait for any parts...
