Hi Slowcar -
I just read your text regarding your Dinan/ECU upgrades. I'm a fellow Calgarian and wanted to ask you a question about your X5 M.
I picked up an X5 M last year (used - 2010 from the US via dealer in Toronto), and I was curious if you ever did any 0-100 kph times with your truck.
I'm really curious what the performance of your vehicle is like (I got in a bit of a fight with the bmw dealer last year - from what I remember I was around >6 just doing cheap testing with a manual stop watch). They cited altitude and such, so I was just curious if you ever tried it.
So I'm thinking about doing the Dinan, but I want the beast that I bought to perform like it should before I make any mods and was concerned about warranty, etc.
Would you mind writing me back, or if you're game - please give me a call.
I'd like some testing results regarding, performance before the upgrade, after the upgrade, how much it was and would you do it again. If you wouldn't mind, I wouldn't mind just hearing your thoughts.
I'm thinking about just going to get it dyno'd and do a before and after. At least with some of the dealers they'll do a performance spec review, but it's fallen on deaf ears with BMW.
Pretty simple stuff but any thoughts would be appreciated.
