I mostly have been selling it to X5/X6 X5M/X6M guys.
They loved it.
It is simple and easy solution.
And Made in Germany with TUV certification.

Hi guys , according to race chip tuning you get 80+ hp and is cheap and easy plug and play , why ppl opt for custom ECU remap that gives you 60 + hp on 650i ? Confused ? Any experts ?

I had the JB4 on my 550i and the Racechip on the 650i. I would say they are about the same. I recently switched to BPM Stage 2 tune. Why? It's safer and provides better/linear power and also changes the power/torque figures in Idrive.

Judging from my butt dyno, I didn't believe the figures that JB4/Racechip were advertising as the power difference wasn't that huge from stock. The stage 2 software with downpipes definitely gives the car a much better power increase. I also had a tune on my A3 and from experience would always pick a tune over a piggyback. You usually get what you pay for.

Was the racechip easier to install than jb4?

I've read it's junk. All piggy backs play and trick the ecu via resistance, this can lead to issues down the road. Go for a tune, ie get the ecu/dme fully written and customized. Bm3 is amazing.
