335i
Any Performance "chips" for the ML550 Engine?
On my soon-to-be-replaced 335i, I have the little plug doohicky that adds about 30HP. Quick 20 second install/removal and basically adds a little boost to the turbos. So, was wondering if there is something similar for the 550? I realize it's not out yet, but I think the same engine setup is used in other models. Anyone know of a *simple* plug-and-play device for this engine?

your 335 is a turbo car which can take advantabe of a chip for noticable hp gains. If there is a chip you will only get like 3-5 hp from a normally aspirated engine. so not worth it.

BRABUS tuning for new generation 550 engine!
BRABUS in Germany have a 490hk/780Nm chip kit and a 520hp/820Nm chip&additional gearbox cooler kit for the S550.
I have heard that they are going to make these kits available for the new W166 as well.

Can't make chips when vehicle does not exist yet
Probably been redesigned too so very unlikely
