What happens if the dealership does a software update? Will it overwrite the tune?

I'm already in for the M5 version on Friday!!!! Once it's in I'll let you know the gains. Looks like I'll be doing the stages 1/2/3 GT exhaust, the chip tune and some other "stuff" (did someone say headers !!!???)

I'm gunning for some of those Mexico runs with keang and RabDog. 500 HP at the wheels, here I come!!!!

I'm doing this remap in January when I'm on vacation. I can't wait for this final addition for the full RPI set-up. I'm already going crazy in my car since installing sections 1, 2 and 3 last week. The car is SOOO much stronger and faster. It's amazing what the difference is. This remap will be the perfect, final addition. RPI rules!

I look forward to hearing your review, Tom. Thanks again for all the pictures and helping me spend more of my hard earned money on my new exhaust.
