Dude I feel you! I went through the same thing! But waited even longer! Even after Dinan FedExed the appropriate ethernet cable overnight. They still couldnt figure out the appropriate connection via the Dinan supplied laptop. They apologized and said that the next time they would want me to leave the vehicle instead of waiting. Oh really - okay.. So the next day I went to another authorized Dinan shop, after some slight configuration delays - they along with the Dinan Engineers got me done.. Like I said you don't know its there until you provoke it 4th gear in manual pulls like a locomotive.

BTW: I do wonder how the 750i Edmunds dyno'd produced something like 390 rwhp -stock
