personally I've had 5 different tunes on 2 of my e60s. When I had my 535i my jb3 tune threw limp codes since day one. With the powerchip tune the m5 was very inconsistant. The car would jerk back and forth and was very rough. My 3 (just got the stage 2 tune. Will post new thread tomrrow), RPI/ess tunes do not throw error or limp codes like other tuning companies. *cough* Singh *cough*. The power is there when I need it, especially from 5-8l rpm. therefore much more reliable compared to other tunes. Again I ask you do you have any personal experience with a tune, let alone 5?

let me ask you this /\/\power, how many tunes have you gone through? personally I've had 5 different tunes on 2 of my e60s. When I had my 535i my jb3 tune threw limp codes since day one. With the powerchip tune the m5 was very inconsistant. The car would jerk back and forth and was very rough. My 3 (just got the stage 2 tune.

And, Actually I have gone thru a fair share of tunes from a twin turbo jap engines to NA BMW engines so chill on the q's, again ur making presumptions lol. Much respect tho for being one of the first to take the SMG plunge.
I personally will be getting the ASR tune with respect to the ASR exhaust and CAI I have installed but am deeply considering the SMG tune from ESS but will wait for a few more reviews. Again, thanks for your review SON and I just checked out your vids
