Thanks for this! I am about ready to pull the trigger on the ESS tune for my X5M and this put me over. I see you are in NJ, I may need some help as I tend to screw these things up..... Great review, I can feel your excitement.

I did not use a battery charger. The instructions say the charger is only necessary if your battery is not at full. The upload/download +/- 30 minutes each. I don't think that having the dashboard switched on for 30 minutes should drain your battery. |

I think I would need a battery charger. I recently had the windows tinted and a ding removed and the battery went flat both times and the car required a jump. My car sat for 90 days before I purchased and I think the battery is not 100% due to the time on the side line.
tonypap- sending you PM. |

Currently the interface is Windoes / PC only.
We recommend using a charger just in case. If the battery dies during programing you will have to go thru a recovery back to stock and then start over adding additional time and work to the process. |

I have it and I love it... Just a little issue with the idle.. I took the tune off and the car ran perfectly. With it on and with the A/C off.. the idle RPMs drop to 500.. Something the guys from ESS really need to look into. I have put about 8k miles on the tune. That is the only problem I have had besides decreased gas mileage and increased oil consumption..

Car notices it is idling too low and stutters in an attempt to raise the RPMs. I actually had the car stall on me once. Car needs a certain amount of RPMs to maintain a healthy idle. In our cars (and most bimmers) it is between 600-700. If it didn't matter we would idle lower to reduce fuel consumption. Had a similar problem with the N54.

I feel this is exactly what happened to me. Initially was 500, but after about 50 miles into driving post-tune readjusted to about 700.

7RR was only available for vehicles produced up to 2010. For anyone owning a 2011 and up that's not an option.
