He also mentioned something else that was interesting, and that was the tune for the n54 in the e89 was not really different than previous versions (i.e., 335i) , and the hp / tq figures should be the same as posted on his site for the other n54 cars. I asked him specifically about BMWs hp limitations for the e89 dct, but he indicated he wasn't really that concerned about it. He said that BMW was very conservative in their ratings, but Dinan has previously exceeded BMWs specs for the dct before. FWIW
