In as much as I respect your opinion and your willingness to soak up risk, the option of voiding my warranty and the possibility of a 20k scares me off.
Oh man, yeah that would scare me too. :/ You could always go with a Dinan tune which does not void your warranty as they are a BMW authorized shop. I believe, and please pardon me if I'm wrong, that you can even get an extended warranty with the tune. Just something to think about if you find that you want more power without voiding the warranty.
