Just buy one direct from Racechip should come in 2 days - luckily on the M5 both ports in the engine bay are easy to get to so maybe 10 mins max to install.
If I drive mine without it turned on its a different animal. It does depend on your driving style - I live in the sticks and on the back roads it's a massive improvement. If you don't tend to drive it hard it may not be worth it. |

Ha I can see your not keen on mapping - tbf most people don't mind taking the risk with a chip or map. You don't buy a 90k car if your worried about "maybe" having to pay for some out of warranty work, and judging by the feedback on the forums its pretty fucking rare!
We should also note to OP that evolve etc offer flash maps that they can remove before going into stealers. A piggy is not the only option. But either way it's 100% needed imo. |

Each to their own re tuning, remember this, Id prefer not to mess around with a factory fresh car and leave it as BMW intended it to be, may be once its a few years old
Remember this ?? |

Ha yeah I remember that, toys out the pram from BMW!
I have never done a lease or finance, different ball game if OP is getting this on PCP or something similar if it is not your care then leave as is!

No PCP etc if I was I wouldn’t risk the map. I’ve had the E60 M5 and the F10 M5 so looking forward to the F90 M5C. I will see how the drive is and if I think I want more power I will defo consider a chip etc. It’s a 69 plate built early 19 so I hope it had the crackles and pops lol. If not then the map will be a must for me!!

Yeah, one thing that helps is unplugging the flap system at the back of the exhaust, it's a 10 min job but helps with the sound.

Strange, I find its much louder on start-up and general driving - you do get a tiny bit of drone. its not uncommon for the flaps to get stuck on these cars either.

BMW are totally within their rights. It's exactly what I would do. Say someone rented your house but they then turn it into a nightclub but still wanted you to fix everything under the original agreement like fixing the toilet when now there's 100 ppl abusing it every night.

I’m probably going to chop it in soon for the facelift version. Probably put an order in December time. Delivery for March hopefully. I can’t see the next gen M5 coming out until probably 2024/25 now. |

Yes you are right I did get it for a good price. But just little things like the I drive 7 and the B&W sound system is what I’m missing. I have that in my X7 so when I hear the HK in the Comp it doesn’t compare. I will see if I can get a good deal on the facelift comp end of the year.
