Oh well. Hopefully we can put all this Singh/RPi/ESS nonsense to rest. They already admitted to clearing the adaptive maps prior to dyno testing so what is there even to discuss?

i just got an additional RPI/ESS smg tune during pre-mfest. the launch control is moved up from 1500rpm to 4000rpm, like the european models. the shift points are moved up as well. when the car is in m mode and s500 or s600 is selected the transmission shifts much quicker, especially when shifting at red line. before the RPi/ESS smg tune, the trans would hesitate slightly. now the shifts are much crisper and quicker. the car feels totally different. because the shift points have been tweaked the car seems much quicker above upwards of 80mph. i can't wait to test out the car against the standard RPi/ESS tune....dennis?

BTW, it's S5 or S6, not S500 or S600. M5 newbie. LOL!
