Velos Tune

My truck is a 2011 X5M. i got my velos tune about a month ago and waited to install it as i was due for the 35k service. I just got the service done which consisted of an oil change, air filter change, and spark plugs. Just got the truck back installed a K&N and am in the process of reading the stock ecu. As soon as the read is done i'll email the file off to velos for the stage 2 tune. Can't wait. Review will follow soon.

You didn't have to wait till after your service. You can "detune" it any time you want.

I went in for warranty service a few months ago and this is what I did:

*Detuned 3 days before service appointment
*Daily commute untuned for 3 days (data logging purposes, piece of mind, whatever superstition I had)
*Stuck key into car on the 3rd day of driving it
*Brought car to dealer and had it serviced
*Car came back with no eyebrows raised
*Tuned car back to pure awesomeness

And of course....YMMV

I hope this post will find google searches. I had this very question before I got the tune but no one can give me a clear indication that detuning the car before dealer can be pulled off.

just got the tune installed and took a quick drive. all i can say is WOW!!! feels completely different, truck is an absolute monster. i haven't had a chance to really get on it but come off a turn just half throttle and i was loosing traction, never happened before. M mode is just plain nasty, throttle response is sooo much better. was a little irritated after waiting a few days longer than i had anticipated but definitely worth the wait, i couldn't be happier. i was expecting a change but this is on an entirely different level, far exceeds my expectations.
