That is not true at all. An F30 has a good 15+ modules just like the E90 does.

They changed the type of modules(the main gateway etc) and how the main ones communicte, but there are still a ton of modules in the car, definitely not 2.

My lease is up Aug 2013, I am either sticking with the N55( I dont mind it) and getting an Msport F30 this summer or switching and going with the N63 powered 550i Msport.

Cobb will have something eventually for the N55. It took them 5 years to develop something for the N54, it will take them time to develop something for the N55 which has only been out for 2 years. It will come around, the N55 is in everything now. The N54 is going bye bye aside from the IS models (for now) If you cant wait get a Procede of JB4 for the time being.
