I wouldn't go off of what the website says.. It's old and does not contain updated information. If you would like to start a GB in Florida, please contact me and we'll get something going. I am also sending a flash kit to Florida in the next couple weeks to take care of a couple of cars there. Thanks, Mike

Depending on price I think I would most likely jump on this. BIG maybe if it out does what I got now.

The Powerchip tune will smash your current tune; I know, I had AA originally as well .

is this feature unique to powerchip ? or are all big tunes like this. I am asking because I understood that the dealer could never tell unless the limiter was changed or smthg, but AG could always tell if the ECU was shipped or if they checked algorithms and more in depth - in terms of a large warranty claim. I know its a risk and the price to play, but I was just wondering if anything has changed since I first looked into doing this.

So in theory this should stop the ECU reading a map file that has been modified - however the BMW ECU only checks the digital signatures when the ECU maps are written to and either the ECU only does this if the maps are written in full, or there is a special flag you can set when programming the ECU that disables this checking (it may be a combination of both). I think the BMW dealer tools probably only check signatures are valid and that the ECU has not detected any unknown programming changes to the ECU. The ECU only records "complete" programming changes - i.e. an entire software package or set of packages (like how the dealer does it) was written to the ECU, and does not record smaller incremental changes (like the one Powerchip does). I certainly would believe it is possible for BMW to detect the change if they really wanted to, but it is a question of logistics, cost etc (e.g. do they have to send the ECU back to Germany)...

I must say the latest Powerchip tune combined with primary cat delete has turned the car into a monster - it is the fastest it has been - faster than previous Powerchip tune + Akrapovic exhaust.
Makes me wonder if removing the back pressure and flow restrictions caused by the primary cats fully unlocks the extra gains made by the VANOS remapping the Powerchip have applied in this latest tune... |

thanks for all the info... still seems like a very very slight gamble. do you think it is kind of stupid to tune without a cat delete? cause i dont want the car any louder, even hfcs plus xpipe can kinda add sound and drone, i know some dont but still....all i have is pulleys, envy intake, catback.

Check out my review here - http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=379286 The primary cat delete definitely makes a difference, but even the tune without the primary cat delete is worth it... |
