Allanw 1052 Report post Posted March 22, 2013 Apparently they only work on US/Canadian spec cars :-( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HELLBM 1531 Report post Posted March 22, 2013 I am pretty sure this is for US Spec only. You might want to email them your DME version to check. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allan 295 Report post Posted March 22, 2013 Thought their was a company in Auckland that did performance chips. The pug was about a grand to have done from memory could be mistaken though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M5V8 337 Report post Posted March 22, 2013 Yeah I've looked into those. $1k is pretty steep for what could only potentially be 10-20crank hp gain. Plus I'd have to have the time to drive to Auckland to complete which is the biggest pain. Cheers for the heads up ray I've emailed them to confirm.

Cheers for the heads up ray I've emailed them to confirm. no...they come to you.They did mine on the side of the road at work.Took 10 minutes max.Made a big difference to the lil diesel.How is the issue on the M5? Still bloody tempted to get one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M5V8 337 Report post Posted March 22, 2013 Who where,.... Wait what? How much did that cost? The M5 is awesome. I've decided I'm never selling it so I'm on a maximize what you have got kick. Waiting on replacement MAF units from the US to arrive. I believe they are the cause on my little issue. Both a scan from BMW and running the MAF test via the OBC confirmed they are not working to potential. Then I have a hit list of stuff I'd like to do. A good chip from a reputable source is high on the list. So if you have a contact in Wtgn you can recommend? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NZ performance tuning....was 900 bucks i think which i admit is a lot.But it made the lil diesel so much nicer and better too.Big jump i admit between a 120d and a e39 m5 but the potential will be there.I talked to them a lot before i got it done,you may have to wait a wee bit but they come down everynow and then. I will check my emails n that but i am 99 percent sure that was them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M5V8 337 Report post Posted March 25, 2013 I reading a reasonable pickup across the rev range but a particular pickup of 18odd hp around 6400? That's really good ray. Was there any other changes through the three runs? NZ performance tuning has come back with $1300 to tune my car here in welly. A little rough when entire link setup in my Racecar was 2k and that included several hours on the dyno and the actual ecu, not just a reflash. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking for US$350 it would be worth doing for my 528i to improve hp and fuel economy but definitely not at $1300! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A little rough when entire link setup in my Racecar was 2k and that included several hours on the dyno and the actual ecu, not just a reflash. But its a BMW and its an m5 .... did I say its a BMW? .. = extra $$$ for the fact. Gavin is around 900-1000 from last check. This is why people go to him, you're not paying re-coupe costs on the daten files they have to purchase to resolve your DMEs checksums also learning curve. He tunes/trims Vanos to match too which lots of tuners don't touch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HaNs 226 Report post Posted March 26, 2013 That $1300 also includes warranty and a local wellington service. Daten files and checksums are already available. Our tooling auto corrects/checks checksums anyway Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
