They bring up some very valid points. Evolve Automotive has come up with a very unique solution to tuning, combining realistic honest power with convenience and affordability.

I have the Evolve evolve-R Tune on my E46 M3. The evolve-R cable alone is completely worth EVERY penny. There has already been a few times where I had to flash my tune back to stock to help diagnose problems and to make sure my car is running in it's proper form. If I didn't have that cable, then having to mail out my DME would be such a hassle.

I'm sure you are very pleased with your PowerChip tune as many are, but just consider that Evolve offers a solution that essentially has NO limitation. That way you can keep your Nav, iDrive, and DME up to date, but at the same time keeping the unleased power from your tune.

Something definitely worth thinking about
