DME Tuning Stage 2 upgrade from Race Chip

i don't post much here but i do frequently visit to see what the latest news is in the BMW tuning world. I have owned over 20+ modified cars, but at the point now where i just want a true daily driver that can put a grin on my face when i stomp the gas pedal. I initially started with a race chip when i first got my 2018 M5. At that point, i wanted to make sure that if anything did go wrong, the ecu was not tampered with and i could still get BMW to stand behind it. i will say, i enjoyed the nice bump from stock all last year. Race chip performed without any hiccups and served the exact purpose i was looking for. But like many other HP junkies, i wanted more. After speaking with Mo at DME tuning and asking him 101 questions, i decided that the Stage 2 tune would be the next logical step up. I received the cable yesterday and 1 hour later, the Stage 2 tune was installed and ready to go! I have only clocked about 30 miles on the new tune, but already, i can feel a significant difference. My butt dyno tells me 80 whp gain, probably a 4 to 5 mph gain in the 1/4 mile (130+ mph), and definitely a mid 10 second capable car. I will have to make a purchase of a Dragy to confirm the accuracy of my butt dyno but i have a hunch i am pretty close. I just ordered the bmc filters and plan to have them installed next week. A big thanks to Mo at DME Tuning. Anyone looking to take this jump, i would highly recommend it. Anyone up for 50% off a nice used Race Chip

my car currently has no other mods except for the DME Tuning Stage 2 tune. i will add bmc drop in filters and remove the charcoal filters at the same time. weather is 36 degrees and sunny today in cleveland so i just took it out for another spin. The tune is legit!! definitely can feel the difference between 5K to 7K rpms up top above 70 mph.
