Its all up to you and your financial position, if you don't mind paying up should something go wrong then go for the stage 1 but in my opinion I'd rather get software done and extend the motorplan, it will be a real animal after software and you still got some piece of mind for a further 2 years. Just find out what the cost of extension would be...that they will only tell you like a month prior to expiry.

The only reason why I have not and will not buy an E60 M5 is due to the SMG gearbox, P1000 is absolutely correct.
If you can stretch that 50,000 over 2 to 3 years and keep the motorplan, Then I guess your good to go, as that M6 is like a wet dream, if your going to be using it as a daily driver and put 40,000 on in a years time, well I would think again.

Kisho I would advise you strongly to extend the motorplan each time it is necessary. It is a must to retain the resale value of the car. My M5 is a 2005 model and at 50,000km to extend it for a year only cost me R11,000.
I was also uncertain if chipping the car was worthwhile. OB flashed it the day we spoke on the phone and I must say the difference in day to day driving is remarkable.

George is it possible for bmw to find out that i got software. i want to enjoy my m6 and not worry when it has a problem
is it a big power diff
to truly enjoy the m6 you need peace of mind. m6 parts and fitting have figures which will cause your bank to go into minus easily. so i was hoping to hear from someone who has software on the vehicle and has regular services and fixing on there vehicle under motorplan even though they have software.

You will not have motorplan issues with the software as the diagnostic does not bring anything up and the software does not cause any faults. A lot of people increase the rpm limiter which makes quite a difference, if you think the dealer might rev the car to 8500rpm then you might get into trouble but there is no reason why they should do that. Worse case you can get software with stock limiter in place.
george thats the answer i was looking for. but lets say the smg gearbox goes and you have software, if bm knew they would certainly not pay for it, so it is a risk in that sense, but how would they know? a bit confusing because i'm sure if they went looking they can find it.
and by the way is the power worth it
