ESS tuning on route

After much research I've decided to go ahead with the ESStuning E-Flash software.

I am located in Dubai and prices for a stage 1 out here are ridiculous!

Contacted a few vendors (Velos, ECUprogram, etc) but the price point and usability of ESS was advantageous.

I informed them that we run 98Ron in Dubai and they got back to me with an estimated HP figure of 650!

Very excited to get going on this car as i am doing the custom muffler as we speak.

UPDATE

Received the ESS Tuning file and been pushing the car hard for the past few days. I've got the k&n drop in filters and modified muffler mods. It is quick!!

Next on the list should be the DIY downpipe mod.

Downpipes will sound amazing! my truck is straight piped with catless downpipes and stage 2+ tune(Active Autowerkes) and sounds like a nascar when I floor it

I keep forgetting how quiet the X5M comes stock lol

Catless and straight pipes?? that is a bit extreme for me I do agree the truck needs a bit more grunt but not sure i want my neighbors giving me dirty looks every morning.
