It's true. Tom castrated his M5.

Anyhow, the E63 isn't running right. It's back to stock power and is being looked into.
I met an M6 owner who loved my RPI set up so since it was lil loud for my daily drive i decide to sell it.
I do miss the power it was putting out!
VT-your car had to be running hot at the end. We were going at it for awhile then i left and
you took on the blk M5
BTW-just saw the vids. Last 2 vids was mislabel it was Radz blk M5!

Dyno today provided all the proof that it's not at full power. Powerchip and RPi will be dyno tuning the E63 next week.

It is pretty much a known fact the Dinan tunes for the N54 are more conservative.

The JB3 on average gives 20+hp over the Dinan tune, on the dyno.

The Procede is even a little bit quicker than the JB3. Well, that is still being argued on other forums. The JB3 vs. Procede threads will never end.

If you want the quickest car, don't go with the Dinan tune.
when i choose the my tune, it was obvious where i'd get the most hp! needless to say, that was not my priority. David said it best below...

It was freakin a LONG and FUN night overall. I will want to run VT, Dbae, MacFly, radz, and Flym5 once I get my car back
i thought SIZE matters?!

Nice vids, but I'd be careful with posting videos with visible license plates.

It be interesting to see the JB3 versus the Dinan from a roll and also a modified 535i versus a stock M5.

Haven't been following up, but remember all those 550 vs 535i threads. It'd be cool to see two stock cars go against each other.
David's 535 JB3 tuned smoked my 550i with rpi scoops and bmc filter! but yeah it'll be interesting to see two stock cars go at each other.
