I'm kinda ambivalent in terms of bang for the bucks:

Obviously you'll notice the +50NM in torque during WOT, however as soon as you reach 6th gear (which is has been limited to 400NM) you immediately think something is missing. Further up into 7th it pulls better again. This is something that I don't like because it just feels odd. Up to today I have no idea why BMW limits torque in 6th gear. Yeah I mean the transmission is 1:1 in 6th, so what!?

In Sport mode you'll notice an improved sound inside the car, however I'm not sure whether this is caused by the slightly modified intake or something else. Maybe someone can comment on this?

I haven't gone FBO yet but I'm tempted to start with a 300 cpi HJS DP and a Wagner intercooler next year. Juuuuust in case I'll need to add some extra HP with a custom tune or JB4 at some point
