Hi Guys!

I've been a car lover all my life...

My current stable includes a 2000 Audi S4 Stage 3+ by AWE Tuning and a 1976 Black BMW 2002 (in process of restoration).

The wifey drives an Odyssey... :bigun2

Last week I purchased an Alpina White 2008 535i.

It already has new 19" 550 Wheels wrapped with Toyo TR1's, 40% Lumar Window Tinting and a rear M5 spoiler. M Tech kit on the way... :woot:

I've been searching different forums and have read about the different kinds of upgrades to the ECU. Any suggestions? Anyone here with Vishnu?

TIA!

Can you tell me if one can mount new tires on the OEM 18" rims (for the 535xi) that are larger then the OEM RFTs? That is, a greater circumference than the OEM RFTs without rubbing or must one stay with the exact same tire size so the new non RFTs do not rub? Thanks.

If you haven't already, check out Dinan. I added it to my E61 and all I can say is WOW. Major difference and Dinan picks up the full warranty responsibility as BMW warranty is void if you mess with the ECU. Vishnu and others DO NOT.

Others may be cheaper (Dinan is about $2K) but no warranty. You pays your money, you takes your chances.
