Yep, that's the price. Sign up. We need to meet the minimum number of cars to make their time worthwhile and to get the discounted rate.
Add me to the list.

1. Esexy.....2005 545i 6spd manual

I'm also willing to do a before and after dyno if some one can hook it up with the dyno for cheap

I have a great idea! I recommend that Singh/Sonic/Eurorev should all pitch in for a before/after dyno on each model.
That way they can post the result and we all can decide from there.
Let see 5 different models x $75x2 = $750 total. If these guys would pitch in $250/ea We're in business!
I can pretty much say that Vince@Eurorev and Jags@Singh is in. I just decided for them!
Why don't you check with Darwin@Sonic and run this by him.
I think they would sell alot of tunes with these dynos.
My tune is one of the most powerful on C63. His tune works!
Agreed, I'm down if it proves gains, 500 is a lot to stomach...

Most tunes all do the same thing; improve throttle response, increase rev limiter, remove speed limiter and increase power. It's the increase in power that can vary from tune to tune and sometimes claims are questionable.

ESS has verified gains on a dyno done by RPI. We don't have anything from Singh yet that I'm aware of but I believe John@EuroRev was doing one for a customer. Hopefully we can get something through Darwin @ Sonic soon too.

Thanks for the info Tony. I am trying to understand why Singh Tune is so much more then the ESS Tune...

Having dyno's validates their claims. Granted, it's fairly easy to manipulate the dyno to produce various numbers, but having something is better than nothing. I was close to meeting up with Jags, but because RPI has stats to provide against ESS, not to mention Sohrab's claims that his car pulls harder, had me switch directions. It also didn't hurt that ESS was having a special of $800 for the M5, compared to their normal price of $1300. If ESS were $1300, I probably would do Singh, just based on what Tony and others have said. It's a tough call. In the end, I think most are the same (not including Dinan).

Guys, please let me know by Wed if you want to do this or not. If we don't have enough people, we'll have to postpone or cancel this offer.

So far yes, unfortunately. The main reason I got this going is because there were some interests from M5Board but so far, no one has committed. Guess we'll wait till Wed to see.
