X5M tuning

So finally ready to add even more hp to the already outrageous 555. Am seriously considering ESS Tuning but came across some impressive you-tube videos of some retuned X5ms by PP Performance. Anyone have additional info about this tuner. Appears to be a reputable German tuner. Any North American shops that carry or install it?

Speaking from experience, I would recommend a reputable tuner with a track record.

I am very happy with the Dinan tune, quite frankly I don't know how the car behaves without it because I had it done right away.

I will be switching to ESS when I purchase my catless downpipes and Akra exhaust.

I would go with the ESS tune, it also has that cool flash tune device were u can upload the tune or upload the stock tune whenever you want on you own.
I would also look into the Active Autowerke tune. Both are very well respected companies and have been doing work in this industry for years. Same can be said for Dinan.
I haven't heard much of PP performance until this post, will do some research

PP Performance has a great reputation out here in Germany, in the UAE and in Russia. Not sure if they have any affiliates Stateside. I will be taking my X5 M over there for the Stage 3 package, 740hp, 0-60 in 3.4s. They offer warranties on their work, their prices are significantly less than competitors and the performance is superior. IMO PP Performance is the way to go. Although, I doubt you would be disappointed with Dinan or ESS. So win-win right?

Here is video of an X6 M stage 2 (700 hp, 700 ft. lbs) in Abu Dhabi up against a Lambo...so I'm guessing the Stage 3 would be around 750 ft. lbs?

I have the spec sheets for stages 1-3, if you want I can email them to you.
