Sure, but which details?
Pricing, performance, product quality, how it works, how it is installed, or warranty?

Ben, any words of wisdom on setting my RaceChip to 7 and locking it there? What's the safety margin? I'm liking 6 a lot, but ...

The racechips has its own safety parameters that won't allow the engine to pass 6XX wheel horsepower measured internally on the DCM. This is what Racechips in Germany directly explained to me when installing on my 22 M8GC.

Stays on 7 unless in for service and I beat on it many time a week. 4800 on the dash now, installed just after breakin at 1250 was done.

Hello. New member here. Just bought a 2020 m8 competition. Learning the car, and considering getting a tune such as mentioned in this thread.

A couple of years ago, I put a stage 1 tune on an Audi R3. I was able to pull some logs after placing the tune and noticed that the engine was pulling timing due to my local crappy gas. Ended up adding 2 gallons of ethanol with every fill up to boost octane rating. Logs with ethanol showed no knock or pulling of timing.

Has anybody logged their car after changing the factory tune? Is there a program to log these cars? This is my first BMW

I have not, but it's strictly 93 octane for me.

There's a similar product to the Racechip named JB4 from Burger Tuning. It offers substantially increased configurability and also includes fine grain logging as well as taking direct control of the waste gates.

How hard is installation?
What's the price?
Does it void the warranty?

Yes.

1. I've installed its equivalent product (JB4) that requires the same basic connections and I'm truly useless with anything that doesn't have a keyboard attached to it. That said, Ben installs it in 10mins, I take 2 hours.

2. Over to Ben

3. Yes, if they detect it (which they can) and if you ever need to make a warranty claim on a component downstream from it, i.e. the whole drivetrain (may never happen; doesn't to most of us).

1. It is depending on what's your skill level.
For me, it is super easy, 5-10 minutes.

2. Price, I can't discuss openly per forum rules.
But, it is listed on my website.

3. This is a question that all the answer will always be wrong.
It will depends on which side are you on.
If you think going 5mph over speed limit is legal, then this product won't void a warranty.
But if you think going 1mph over posted speed limit is very wrong, then this product will void your warranty.

Hope I able to answer your questions.
