BMW never honor their warranty with any aftermarket products. What it is, RaceChip offers engine warranty. Here is the detail on their website. https://www.racechip.us/engine-warranty.html

Nope, I have yet to have a local guy that will let me borrow his M50i for dyno.
I have 50i that I will arrange time for dyno. Just need to take care my X3MC development first.

So racechip covers a max of $7500 with the racechip warrantee?

In a related note you'd think RaceChip would have a dyno as well as YouTube video showing the increased performance. Otherwise they just seem like estimates and hyperbole to me. |

Flashes are going to be a bit more elegant. Many flash the ecu easily with an "at home" flasher, but some of the more complicated ECU have flash counters that can tip off your dealer. They adjust the things like fuel, timing, and boost directly in the ECU so targets hit. All factory ECU protection features are in play. There is no altering any signal to the ECU because the work is done in the ECU. One negative is no CANBUS integration, so you cannot hijack anything on the dash unless it is directly coded in the flash. For me, this car has SOOOO many cool features already integrated that CANBUS integration isn't a huge deal. My preference is a flash to be honest, but I am not seeing many, if any options. I am surprised considering how easily it will be to get big numbers from this vehicle. I think many would jump in a second. |

First, M50i is less than a year old. Second, not a lot of G05 X5 / G07 X7 customers modding their stable yet. I was surprised about it since its turnout is not as fast as F15/F16 X5/X6. I was in the first year of F15 X5 ownership and guys been contacting and bugging me for mods. Third, not many customers willing to lend me their car so I can drive it 20 miles to get dyno done. Nor willing or have time to do a dyno on themselves. Main reason, it is hard to find an AWD dyno. Even my recent customer in northern california just got RaceChip installed on his F92 M8, but having a hard time finding an AWD dyno shop. CEL wise, no it won't throw CEL as long as your engine is healthy. It is piggyback system, it doesn't intrusive to ECU to fix CEL for catless downpipe. Also, RaceChip is TUV approved product and company, they can't do CEL delete to get TUV certification. Quote:
But, they are considering in increasing the limit. Quote:
FYI, CEL is not a bad thing. CEL is there to notify you that something is not right and Check the Engine before things goes badly wrong. With 5 years on the clock in selling RaceChip, here what I can say. - Yes, the older generation product, RaceChip Ultimate, do throw CEL when it is adjusted a wrong way. The older generation allows you to overboost. Customers always told not to go beyond certain settings, but someone will always want to know what is going to happen. - Now with Gen 2 design, the RS, GTS, and GTS Black are preset internally. So even with the highest map (map 7), you will still be in the safe zone where the engineers in Germany has done R&D and road test. Then, RaceChip USA team or I will confirm the compatibility with US spec vehicle. Whether we need to tune it down or up before it can be finalize for US market. And since the Gen 2 released almost 3 years ago, I haven't seen any single CEL caused by the module itself. Quote:
Here are the guys that I've sold RaceChip to. - F15/F16 X5/X6 from sDrive35i, xDrive35i, xDrive35d, xDrive50i - F85/F86 X5M/X6M - F90 M5 includes competition - Some G01/G02 X3/X4 - Some G30 M550i I even personally been using it. Currently using it on my F97 X3M Competition. Here is the link to my build. It have dyno result too. https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1687598 Edit: If someone local to me and willing to lend me the car, I'll work something out.

In all honesty RC looks to have come a long way. They have vids backing up claims. The new V8 engines 2020's are brand spanking new and not a lot of options out there. I think it's safe to say just because the engine is in the X5 doesn't mean you can't use stats from the 2020 M550's since it's a shared engine.

Just not on my end. I have sold at least 1 unit to G07 X7 M50i. I have tried to get some local guys for some other products testing, such as, grill and coding. But no luck until my repeat good customer bought G05 X5 and G07 X7. Unfortunately, they picked it up before M50i comes out. So, again, I have no data on my end, but it has been tested and approved by both RaceChip USA and RaceChip Germany. I'll see if I can get a dyno sheet from Germany. But based on my experience, it is very controversial since they have higher octane and most likely already equipped with OPF, and the reading is by ps / kw.

They are developing the downpipes with 200cell cats now, should be ready in about a week. After that, the software development begins. OPF will also be removed along with the mid-resonator.
I will come back with updates and dyno as soon as they provide them to me |

Just sent another inquiry about it to German.
Most likely they don't have it. X5 size SUV is not common in Europe. And they much be filthy rich to have 50i or M50i since they tax it based on engine size too. So, again. Anyone local, who is willing to let me borrow their X5 M50i or X7 M50i to dyno. Please PM me.

Even though I have mentioned that I have sold a few on M50i both G05 and G07 chassis. BM3 may work on one. It is another great option. There are pro and con for each options.
