So far so good ... only had the pads on a week (all pads replaced)

I gave the pads a good bedding in firstly with some repeated hard braking, and then gave the wheels a thorough clean (to "eat your dinner off them" standard LOL)

The brake dust is much, much less than stock, so a big thumbs-up from me

I'm very fussy about my HREs, partly as they were so expensive (to my mind anyway) - around £10k - and partly as the finish is "Brushed Clear", so dust and crap shows up easily (despite 2 coats of Gtech ceramic coating) ... I've likened these wheels to wearing white jeans every day, it's a labour of love to keep them looking A1, and the new pads really help from what I've seen so far

AND, the dreaded brake squeal is gone!! Hallelujah not sure this is because the pads are new, but i do remember with the stock pads getting the squeal very early on

I would imagine the BHP from the RaceChip would be more than 82 given your set-up ... genuine question, are you at all worried about the engine / transmission if you have the chip added to your existing mods?

And, any chance of a video of your "OPF delete + secondary cats" set-up? Please

750-760 ps in total maybe possible...from what I know this engine is safe up to 750-760 with good fuel...you can't do more because turbos need to be upgraded and when you upgrade turbo and pass 820-830 on stock internals then problems come after it!

I think RaceChip its not that hard on "tune" to crash something we will see I am interested to go full decat - I sent you videos PM and anything you are interested to know for full exhaust and secondary cats removed contact me I will show you everything.

I'm curious if anyone has any actual dragy or vbox performance numbers before and after the Racechips tune?

Ass dyno feels like racechip is faster.

Haha yeah, I've been mislead by my ass dyno too many times. Hence why I ask.

I'm tempted, but if I'm going to risk my powertrain warranty over it, I was hoping someone would post some before and after perf. figures.

Fwiw - when I take off the RC on my rides before service appointments, it is a slow drive to BMW and a slow drive home after service.

Ben at RgSport has it at an outstanding price right now. I pulled the trigger on it last night after coming back from the BMW driving experience 😂. I needed a little bit of extra juice after getting that much adrenaline pumping.

Did my research and seemed like the safest and least intrusive way to get more powa! Exhaust crackles seem to be too far away still. So, I am sure this will make the drive more enjoyable for now. Can't stress enough that if I buy anything for my car, I see if Ben has it first because he provides the best customer service and seeks products he can vouch for.

Appreciate the kind words.

Install it today and it made a huge difference. Torque is higher but very linear and keeps pulling strong. In the most hardcore setting, it feels like it wants to break loose traction wise when you floor it on 1st and 2nd, not so much on 3rd. The only thing that caught me by surprise was the fact that M1 and m2 buttons still make a difference while the Racechip is active. I hope this is normal.

Install was about 30 min. Take into consideration that I am very OCD and I install it in such a way that I would take it to the dealer and they can't see it. Ben was kind enough to include custom color instructions that were very helpful. Great upgrade that I wished I could have done earlier. No CEL either.

Thank you r33_RGSport 🙌🏻

I am running catless - full exhaust + racechip gts black and in map 7 its very fast...I need to do draggy times soon and see how much I have improved from stock.

If someone else have sometimes after racechip let us know.

What’s the time everyone get after the Race chip for 0-100 Kph I am wondering …

The videos I have seen show ~3.26 sec, which is neck to neck with the Urus. In the end, it will depend on your setup, when you test it and overall health of your car.

[scottiekay73]

That's quick... anyone test the 1/4 mile time.

Also, now they have engine warranty.

No issues with BMWUSA flagging based on scanning DME during routine service?

Obviously we know they're trying to find as many flashed/tuned vehicles as possible and flag them.

So far, I haven't heard any of my customers getting flagged.
I know that flash tune is much easier to detect.

The module comes with a plug that makes the car run like stock and nothing was there (or so that is how I understand it). There is plenty of wiring harness to install it in such a way that it is not noticeable AT ALL. The only thing is that it will cost you a couple of zip ties every time you remove the module when you take it to the dealer and install it when you get home.

These are the quickest claimed 2020+ X5M/X6M dragy's posted on the leaderboard. Although Ramon Performance calls it F96 and not G could be typo. Anyone know the mods? No details in the posts. Presume we are well beyond the "tune only" phase. There are a couple of other sub-3 second times as well.

Would be nice if someone could do a few pulls on map7 with 93 or e25 gas and post results.

Thanks yeah that's much better than the F85. Mine has a lot of lag on the launch. I used to have a M8 and seems like BMW figured out how to eliminate the lag on these. Once the tuned F85 gets going it's quick. But off the line even with LC it's terrible.

[Aliabd91]

The ones who installed the Racechip in their X5M F95, could you please take a snapshot of the installation. I need to know where is the turbo sensor
