Cracking the ECU Code
Seems like the tuners are having a tough time coming up with an ECU upgrade
Car has been out for over a year, if you count the EU, and the software upgrades are few and far between. Nothing really proven yet. Disappointing. |

Once the US market gets more saturated you will see OBDII updates occurring... I hear there are a few beta testers occurring already. Its only been about 5 months out stateside right? Isnt the US market more prevalent in the tuning industry for such cars than across the pond?

We're gonna have to have a lot of patience. IND is starting a project where they are seriously going to analyze the potential of the S63tu.
I probably will wait at least another year before I even think about tuning my M5. That's what I did with my E60 M5. I owned it for a year before putting my first mod on it.

I wonder why some tuners (out of the US) say they have a ecu program, but 99.9% of the americans have left it alone. I hope that they can develope a badazz program that puts out the real power of the M5.

I was in at Goodspeed Performance the other day. They said the new ECU is fiberoptic, and that's why it's a much harder time to crack. They said ESS should have tune by end of January.
