ecutuninggroup unlocked the top speed governor on m5/m6

Checked them out on fb today https://www.facebook.com/pages/ECU-T...32907553487475

Apparently they did over 201mph. They're asking $2495. Thoughts?

You cannot drive that fast in street. you do not need that speed in racetrack.
the only time you need this speed is for dyno test in 4th/5th gear! so if I were you, I would not pay this money!

Just for the unlock?

$2495? If it's just to remove the governor it's ridiculous.

I Need This Before Shift S3ctor!!!!!

No no, $2495 for unlock and 666whp (proved by dynojet)

[JoeyLeeBMW]

The price is pretty ridiculous IMHO....

Even their tune itself is all the same as BMS & Switzer of being able to just up the boost.

[JoeyLeeBMW]

Wait I just checked...

All it is the "Competition" flash for it.

666 at the wheels is pretty amazing if this can be validated by a third party. Factoring in drive train loss, that would be over 720hp at the crank. Don't our cars typically do between 460 and 500 wheel horsepower depending on dyno?

A lot of people are getting 540whp with a stock m6, m cars are underestimated. Ecutuninggroup is actually 8mins away from my house, I'll check them out.

Over 30% more HP??

No, it was not a Dynojet dyno, it was a "SuperFlow" dyno. I don't know much about a SuperFlow dyno, but if you look online the #'s have been found to be 10-12% higher than on a Dynojet:

So that would bring it down into the 600rwhp range....

you can hit 160 with your stock M6 with speed limiter since it is not exactly 155. I did it several times. and I don't think 8 more mph can change anything at all, but if anybody needs more than 160, then definitely this can be a good product and worth it. I just said what was my idea. My mistake

Lol always good to have more. Lol

Eurocharged offers the top speed limiter unlock + tune for $1999. Considering getting it next month.

No way they are getting 666whp with just a flash and no mods . They have been claiming this for almost 2 years , including the speed delimit which is also bogus . The speed limit is a hardware stop in our cars as well as software . AC schnitzer and PP performance can remove the limiter , but only on cars that have the M drivers pack ( which is Europe only ) . So while they could get their hands on the software part , it still won't work on a US spec car . So basically you'd be paying 2500 for less power than the BMS you already have and would still have the limiter at 155 GPS speed ( 160's on the speedo )
Did you ever dyno the car with the BMS again ?

Eurocharge is a respectful tuner, they can remove the speed limiter on any s63tu engine. The offer a free dyno run too, would be easy to check running in 5th gear.

Dyno run at Dynojet is booked for April 23rd in a morning, and I actually found 100 octane for +3PSI, I'll do another run with +2.5PSI too. This time I will ask to do the run in 4th gear to avoid the speed limiter and I will personally set the DSC to OFF.

From what I've heard all the cars being "tuned" by ECU TUNING GROUP's cars all goes into LIMP MODE from many shops and car owners.

Good man! BMS is a good choice, just did another Dyno run at +3psi, and will dyno again at 2.5 psi
