Graduated with a 2.9 overall.

Got a C in every class that wasn't a Computer Science requirement ;)

GPA is useless, and you'll realize this as soon as you graduate.

I was out in Minneapolis this weekend for a wedding. There was a black 135 on whatever road it was between the Marriott Residence Inn and the airport.

To actually answer your question, the usual provider for ODBII port tuning is Jim Conforti and his "Shark Injector" series.

He has yet to release anything for the N54 engines.

Extremely short-sighted. Favorite engine ever? Sure. Best engine ever? Not a chance.

BMW fans have been saying "Best Engine Ever" for the last 20 years. Don't expect that to change.
