It is so tempting. And it only takes a few minutes to install I hear. But I don't even have 200 miles on it yet! I will probably wait a tiny bit more. Does anyone know what the break in for a diesel vs gas engine procedure is? I obviously don't cruise at one set rpm, and I haven't really floored it or redlined it yet. But the thing is so powerful in mid range operating...it is hard to limit the torque if that is what you are supposed to do. I mean 425lbs at 1750 rpm...its hard to avoid that output...lol.

I'm thinking this is more like an electric car. An endless surge of low end power. But like a electric car...not spectacular on the high end power or 1/4 mile traps. (although really only a couple ticks off of a petrol 335i as it is). My goals are realistic...to make it faster than a STOCK N54. With all my testing on the N54s..I will definitely be able to provide a good comparison.
