Judging by the car sport display I'm led to believe I get 300 hp and 460 Nm at this setting. For one tank's worth of 98 octane fuel only i ran it at map 7. To short to make a judgement if this was worth the extra fuel cost. However, at the more modest setting, I've never had any issues, like errors or engine check lights. Performance wise, the biggest change I've noticed is decent acceleration. Without the tune box, the acceleration is throttled. It makes you hesitate to pull out on a main road from a junction as it feels you cannot make pace quickly enough to nip into busy traffic. With the box, the engine feels to me to be restored back to it's natural performance.
That's a big win for me.
PS, my car went back to a BMW main dealer for minor body work, I'm sure they had to pop the hood for this, and although I forgot to take the tune box out and it's still under manufacturer's warranty, they never said a word.
