Great video. Why don't you do an actual comparison on the road with a stock car vs one installed with the chip? It would interesting to see the difference instead figures
Would be interesting to see the improvements on the 530d and/or 540d as well, as those (imo.) still are the choices consumers most likely will take (in Europe anyway). Great videos though guys! Keep it up! ;)
hey bro nice car, i need some advice, what do you recommend doing to a 2017 540i to make it faster, does it affect the reliability, and could i reverse it if it goes wrong?
I have a 2019 540 I and I’m interested in getting this race chip. Every time I try and call the phone number on the website no one picks up and it says to call back the next business day. No one has responded to my email on the website. Is this chip available for the 2019. If so does it ship from the US and how long will it take to get to New York?
if i keep my Stinger gt stock, and get the gts, what spark plug options do you recommend ? and which gap ? 26 ? if not mod'd, just stock and using 91-94 octane (canada octane), I don't think I need to go down to 24 or less gap, but stay 28-26 ? with stock plugs or really should upgrade the plugs too ? and does your eco, sport and race change the map 1-7 to another level, or do you only choose which map # to represent your choice of which one is engaged (preset radio station) when you select eco, sport or race ? and if your mappings are designed to give the power they claim with stock cars, so I am told by U.S./Canad racechip dealers, then what happens when someone has mods too ? will the race chip pick up on those mods and adjust to give even more power or it can't detect mods or other inputs ? if I am stock, can my stinger even use map 6 or 7, if only stock and running 93-94 octane ? Any chance of putting too much strain on my drivetrain at these higher maps ? . I have hard time getting some of these answers from local dealers... everyone is vague or not 100% sure.. So can you please reply to everyone of my questions here, please and thank you ! :-)
@RaceChip at 0:36 is that your final positioning of the control unit? I got GTS Black and trying to find a secure and discreet mounting point (as supplied cables are too short to fit it near microfilter housing hollow - or a hollow on opposite side where steering fluid tank is). G30 with B58 engine just like one on the video. I did open a support ticket but they said there are no pictures of install from this video.
@stealth762 It's true that we didn't shoot installation pictures of the G30 with B58 because we already shot them with a 2 series and a 7 series and it would take too much time to shoot every model separately only because of minor changes in the engine bay layout. The position in the video is only for development purposes to install and deinstall it quickly. Here's how to fix the RaceChip in place without running out of cable: imgur.com/ep7hs84 You can fix the RaceChip in that position upright with the plug and cable pointing downwards. Both sensors of the B58 are on the right side of the engine (when you stand in front of it like on the screenshot) so the cable length should be sufficient if you fix it there. Hope that helps! Please feel free to reach out to me again if you have any questions.
We don't measure those because it's too dependent on external conditions (tires, wet or dry road, temperature, …). You'd have to repeat them very often to get proper results which tears many mechanical parts of the car quite a lot.
@Don Zonderson Da wir uns auf die Leistungssteigerung von ansonsten serienmäßigen Fahrzeugen spezialisiert haben, werden wir zum 540i keine Stage 2 anbieten. Generell kann man aber sagen, dass Modifikationen wie eine Downpipe und ein Ladeluftkühler einer Leistungssteigerung immer zugute kommen. Die genauen Ergebnisse müsste man dann aber anhand eines Entwicklungsfahrzeugs separat auf dem Prüfstand feststellen.
Bei vorausschauender Fahrweise ist durch das höhere Drehmoment in vielen Fällen sogar eine leichte Verbrauchsreduktion der Fall. Das hängt aber tatsächlich sehr stark vom Fahrstil ab. Wer die Mehrleistung oft abruft, hat natürlich auch einen höheren Verbrauch da mehr Kraftstoff eingespritzt wird.
Wer verbastelt sich denn diesen Topmotor mit so einem Chiptuning? Das kann doch nicht wahr sein - oder? Damit ich eine Sekunde schneller von 100 km/h auf 200 km/h beschleunigen kann, erhöhe ich das Risiko für einen Motorschaden? Wer macht denn so etwas?

So it's really 365 and not 340 stock. Nice.

Was there a sale on man buns?
Lmaooo
how did it affect the reliability?
Nice bmw
So weird listening to these two,feels like they are speaking one of the German that I can totally understand 😂😂😂
redet doch Deutsch. Die Amis reden ja auch nicht auf unserer sprache
Redest ja selbst kein gescheites Deutsch ;)

Is check engine light gonna be on!?
Die PS-Steigerung ist ja ok, aber was sagt das auf 500Nm ausgelegte Getriebe dazu, dass ihr da 600Nm reinpumpt?

If I have an upgraded air filter and down pipe, will this still work?

Hi guys, my wife has a 540i xdrive, how much money would that upgrade be? Great job by the way 😉👍🏻
Hi, do you have an outlet or any presence in India?
Great results, great video guys
Great video and great performance 👍
So disappointing these guys don’t have a chip for the 3.0L T6 Volvo engines !! I can’t believe it!

Does this chip work for the 2021 540i?
@racechip if I add a new air intake will the tunig box work in sync with it? Is it recommended to reset or do anything additional if I add this?
Did you figure it out? I also want to know if having any upgrades will change the way the racechip works

Great, please don't forget G30 530d
That stock time 12… something I think that was on a decline … and the other Was on Elevate …
0-100?
dont lose your time with this, just boodmod3 your b58, With highflow downpipe and boodmod3 stage 2 my 540 is pushing 470hp.
Can you please inform 0/100 time?

can you try the x3 m40i, how much improvement can it get
Muhammad Shalaby really want to see that
Agree
Muhammad Shalaby that’s fast car stock very fast
Was macht er 0 auf 100?
Danke...
I would like yo to do the same tests in a S55 BMW engine (M2comp, M3 or M4). Im thinking to buy it if I see results haha
Mich interessiert was man mit stage 2 erreichen kann.
Kommt dazu noch etwas?

Any promo? Looking to get one for 2018 540i here in the U.S.
Unfortunately there's no promo planned in the next weeks, I'm sorry!
Wie verändert sich der Verbrauch?
Bei vorausschauender Fahrweise ist durch das höhere Drehmoment in vielen Fällen sogar eine leichte Verbrauchsreduktion der Fall. Das hängt aber tatsächlich sehr stark vom Fahrstil ab. Wer die Mehrleistung oft abruft, hat natürlich auch einen höheren Verbrauch da mehr Kraftstoff eingespritzt wird.

RWD or AWD ?
540i G30 always has AWD
@@svennose2175 no, there are 540i with RWD also out there.
