I have Stage 3 on my 11 X5 5.0 and it is amazing over stock except for one major current issue. The car goes into limp mode easily when driven in cold weather. It took quite a while for both the dealer and Dinan to figure it out but they finally discovered an error in the code and have re-written the software. I am in NC and apparently there is someone in TX with this same problem. Latest is that Dinan is waiting for a test vehicle so they can prove everything is ok before releasing. I bought the car with the tune and did have several other issues but have been happy with both BMW and Dinan response each time. There is a little finger pointing from BMW sometimes but depending on how good the Dinan group is everything gets worked out. When I contacted the Dinan warranty guy directly he was very knowledgeable and very helpful.

I know I am babbling but even with the issues I love this tune over stock and would do it again. Now if I can just find a cayenne turbo to embarrass....
