Race Chip on 40i?
Has anyone done this yet? Their website says it adds ~ 75hp/75lbs... seems like a lot for a little more boost!
I haven’t seen or heard anything about it here so I’m just wondering if it’s legit? Or something to definitely pass on?? |

They should have the same 30-days satisfaction guarantee too. I have sold quite a lot of unit for B58 engine on G05 X5 and G07 X7 platform.

Ben has installed the XLR throttle...but since I am driving so little due to Covid, I'm still at only 750 miles on my car.
Had it on my 2018 and I would never have that car without it.

You are driving that much less because of the China Virus?
Here in FL I'm actually driving more. This state is not being strangled for political reasons either. |

Yeah, love to drive as do most car guys, just can't understand people still allowing this China Virus to ruin their lives. |

I used to had racechip on my old q5, took it couple of times to the dealer obviously without the chip and never had trouble, but in today’s tech I’m not sure since I don’t know how advance are the computer in looking for anything to raise a flag on the vin. I want a bit more power but warranty is a worry for me.

i have it in my G07, I always turn it off and have taken the car for service already. no issues. and if i need to reomve it, i just simply takes 15 mins. I leave the wires in place (connect the factory ones) and unplug the box. :-)

Well that’s good to hear actually, at least we know you try it in real world situation, does it make difference with the race chip? Is more like pulling power or something else? And yeah I know your car is heavier than the x5 but I can get the idea. Let me know.

I got the RS (+50hp) and feel the extra power. It pulls harder. When accelerating It feels like the car keeps going and going instead of loosing steam. ( hope that makes sense) . I picked up my car recently from service and really felt it heavier and a bit under power. As soon as i got home put it back and much much better.
