Common now!
PM me your best price for forum members

Can't wait!

Thanks

Anxious, haha.
PM sent already.

Hahahah
Yeah!
Have S8 2015 APR Stage II and I am hoping the M5 F90 will be able to be as powerful at least after the Piggy

The car is a rocket ship up front anyways; after the service I again drove home in traffic so no chance to judge the car without it. I just installed the RC again and took the car for a nice 5 miler and damn its worth all the money and then some.

I know this is anecdotal but there are others who have done a great job posting the gains. This is such a great bang for the buck with a 10 min install and remove time if you must. The BMW dealer told me they scan the cars now so Im glad I pulled (he is mod friendly though so I informed). Im not sure what the scan would show with a bench flash but this is very safe.

Thanks for valuable feedback,
Just bought it and I think it will arrive before the car does

But I think he bought a used car with 3k miles on it.... now Im the one to get punished as I installed it about 350 miles before my break in. LOL

Yup!
That's perversely making me excited

that SHE

is actually broken in and some

Someone did they hard work for me

It's coming on Wednesday, got it shipped! Hopefully comes in one piece and will install within a day or two!

Any issues thus far with RaceChip?!
It's on the way and honestly I kinda sorta always had sheer skepticism about Piggy Backs!! Not sure why!! No scientific reason per se, but maybe because it feel extraneous to the system?! Like a parasite ?!! Am I the only one who has those feelings?! Not the case with APR II on my S8, I felt that it was upgrading the systems rather than milking it?!!!

Also,
On another note?!
So just like Audi S8 and S8+, APR did not exude more power of the latter!! And by the same token I will assume that the RC won't get more power out if the M5C, or it does?!

APR is a tune and the RC is a Piggy which basically is intercepting a signal before it is delivered to the ECU essentially tricking it. Both generate additional power (WHP) in varying degrees but do it in very different ways.

I can't speak for RC but the piggys I ran on both of my F10 M5's basically generated more boost and that was the basis for the additional power.

I'll also say I never had a single issue with the piggys on my F10 M5's(not even the dreaded DTML).

Good luck!

RC is very reliable and it's tüv approved too

I already have 1500 miles on the Racechip and 11k miles on the car. So far my It's been very reliable and you really feel the extra power.

Just got the car and it has a noticeable power increase over the F10 but gosh, so much lag!! Does RC do anything to that?! I got used to the S8 APR II almost Zero lag with quasi NA engine mannerisms!!! But the F90 is lights years ahead of the F10 in every aspect except that I can't get the seat to be low enough to my liking, bit other than that!! Wow!! I am impressed!!!

Will report more later

Give it some time!
Mine F80 had more lag dough
After removing down pipes and adding intake I noticed it's more responsive

Took me a while to get used to the fact that the F90 M5 seat position is higher than the F10 M5; give it some time and you'll get use to it.

Are you sure its not acceleration lag? Meaning you are not depressing the pedal in similar fashion that you are accustomed to with the S8? Remember your S8 is heavily modded with a tune and other goodies which changed the throttle response. The F90, to me, has very little lag as long as you are in the right settings and dont lug the gears.

RC will help in the fact that it will dial boost in faster which create a more meaningful response to your throttle input from initiation.

Enjoy.

And be sure you're running in Sport+, that helps the responsiveness IMHO

It's a hooligans
Almost everything is a step forward,
Can't drove it Sports+ it's a hooligan

I'm impressed!! Main reason was I never test Drove F90 and didn't know what to expect, with that said I ready very favorable reviews from experienced people and car gurus that had nothing but praise!!
Few gripes really!!

The M5 F90 stock feels more powerful that APR Tuned RS7?
