This with the racechip is as fast as I want my luxury sports sedan to go lol

I’ve mentioned on the forum before that the car feels extremely boring without it. So much so that I used to remove it at home before driving to the dealership for service, but now I pull over two blocks before and remove it then so I don’t have to endure ~30 minutes without it.
I’m not chasing any more performance on the M5 than this. That’s what other toys are for, but, I can understand others wanting to squeeze even more power out of this platform.

Tell me more about the race chip guys. What kind of power did you make? What kind of improvement over stock 1/4 mile? How was the install? Once removed, is dealership capable of seeing it was once installed? I need more info!
