New Tune/Tuner???

mirob · 03-24-2016, 03:45 PM

Not sure if I'm allowed to post this here (sorry in advance) but I was trolling the F15/16 X5/6 M forum and came across this.

https://www.racechip-usa.com/chiptun.../4-4-V8-408kw/

Price and power gains are impressive. Anyone seen this before? Have any experience?

Here is the link to the original thread:

I contacted the manufacturer and asked if they would elaborate on the difference between their Ultimate Chip and the BMS piggyback. In other words, why would I spend the money on their product if I have the other one and why does it claim to make so much more power. Their rep. got defensive and would not engage into comparing themselves to other tuners. Fishy, I thought.

So I started reading a few threads on the F10 forums regarding the tune for the N63. Now, I know it's apples to oranges comparing it with the S63 but everyone seems to be convinced that it's just a more expensive, higher build quality, BMS Stage 1 tune.

I still don't know first hand but if that's the case, I'll stick to what I already have (BMS).

They seem like the only tuner to get good figures from a N63 non-TU (over 40hp)

I mean a 90+ hp increase for under 1k?? No mention of changing cats, exhaust or intake - almost too good to be true

Had my eye on the BMS or ECU flash but I'm kinda liking this, simply for the plug & play.

Be interesting to see if anyone has gone with the TB Ultimate on a 50i

I have had the TB ultimate installed on my '13 50i for a little over a month now and I have to say I am very happy with the results.

I have not changed any settings as of yet just running the factory setup.
