Just start cruising the forum...the good vendors start popping up really fast. This is a pretty small community, 2 hours of reading and searching will help a lot.

welcome!

Ok, well im a warranty guy so for me i went towards dinan which is stage 4 with intercoolers, exhaust their claiming 531hp and 590lbs which i still havent dyno yet but as per driving it, theres a big differnce. Now im not saying u must go with them, but like i said for warranty thats the only way. Besides that theres bms tune or velos tune. I see that u have a 2011? Maybe u wanna do led upgrade on the headlights going for lux hids kit which draws no error and have the same look as the lci x5.... Depends what your into depending on looks or horsepower lol.

1FastX5, have you done any GTech or VBox runs with your car, or have you been to the dragstrip? I'd love to know how it performs. With 531hp crank you should be in the 12.6-12.7 range? Any idea?

Just got this setup done not to long about, since work is busy once i get a chance im thinking to do the drag or do the lap timer bmw app that connect to your car. Now that vbox im not to sure whats that is that something similar to a boost gauge or something better? Sorry about this but im pretty new to the mod life lol
