My other question is....
What's the benefit of stage 2 with the "extra cooling", since there is no extra boost in the hp with it? I know that extra cooling minimizes power losses at higher/sustained RPM, so does that mean that stage 1 can be potentially harmful in the long run, if driven too hard?!?! Wonder how BMW will play this..

Right, no hardware to sell if you desire. Also I think they are kinda admitting that 20 hp is not a big deal and will not all of a sudden torch you engine. The tuning community proved it. Extra cooling is nice if you track you car a lot but for the occasional bursts of fun on the throttle the oil cooler does fine even with jb,Cobb and procede.
