At Bimmerfest last year I met a guy who had an X6M with powerchip in it and he said it was something like 100hp gain with the exhaust setup he had. I didn't see anything on their website but I did see a couple links to a youtube video posted on another forum:

YouTube - BMW 2010 X5 M-SPEC AFTER TUNE 327AWKW !!!!!

YouTube - BMW X6 M SERIES ON DYNO AFTER TUNE 328kw's !!!!


Anyone running their software? I'm going to give them a call this week to see how I feel about them.

Well, I don't know a LOT about the BMW 'cars', but I do have a friend who had the 335 and slapped a chip in it. That thing was a BEAST and I loved the acceleration, so much so that I'd buy the 3 series (or any of the twin turbos) and get a chip. He now owns an M3.

Here is our opinion: The 335 was fast as hell with that chip, but the M3 is meant for the TRACK. So, when it comes to spirited driving, the chipped 3 series will certainly hold its own, but when it comes to the track, the M will trump.

Concerning upgrading a M3, all I've seen are supercharges like Harte, G-Power, ActiveAutowerks.
