Definitely a little nervous about it, but adding another 100+ hp is too temping
I have 18,000 miles on my X3MC, been on RaceChip since 100 miles.

Also 12,000 miles on my G05 X5 xDrive40i, been on it since 10 miles.

My buddy is taking his x3m in for the 10k service this month and will be my guinea pig with his race chip attached.

Side note- has anyone been reimbursed by race chip for engine work?

Took my X3MC for break-in service with it attached and I got compliments and tagged on the tech's IG story, lol.

I recently also took my G05 X5 for service with it on.
No issue.

I think, as long as you don't have CEL or complaint about the engine, and they are nice, they don't care.

What’s up, I’m new here, I have a 2021 x5m comp. Been a few years since this conversation ended but wanted to revisit and ask how the racechip has treated you until now? I’m looking into getting one. Thanks.

If you have an LCI, maybe hold off or talk to Racechip support first. They currently don’t distinguish between the S63 and S68 engines.

Good point.
About a month ago I emailed Racechip for this exact reason, asking if the GTS Black for the pre-LCI and LCI are different units. Racechip replied and said the same unit would work for pre-LCI as well as LCI. Now I see Racechip has a new model,the GTS 5,I'm sure Ben knows more about it than I.

Yes, the module and harness will work on LCI.
Just the mapping is not the same.
While GTS 5, as much as they already advertise it, it is not ready yet.
I am still waiting for the exact information what GTS 5 is all about.
I got some information about it, but nothing concrete yet.
