Congrats man. I just received RK tune for my car and I put it on a couple days ago. I tried it but there r some problems I ran into... My car lost all the back fires and it doesn't even pop on downshift or N gear anymore even though I ordered burble option. My car also goes into limp mode every time I try to launch it. Do these problems happen to you in the first couple of days of the tune?

Never had those issues. I recommend contacting the guys at RK and letting them know. Their customer service is outstanding and they'll get you straightened out ASAP.

Yes I got my friend's dragy to test it out. Just did 1 run. Turns out I can only hold on to the Launch control for 1 sec max instead of the usual 2-3s on the stock m550i tune. Still waiting for RK tune to get back to me with my revised tune. I feel like the torque peak went from the stock 2kish to now 3.5kish rpm. And the car is indeed a lot faster than stock haha. I this is my first run on dragy with winter tires on. Hit 0-100km/h in 3.55s.[IMG][/IMG]

How was the install process? My car is a lease, I am going back and forth on tuning, few questions for you, did tune change your exhaust note, the numbers show its effective, how much of a difference did the tune make on your daily driving?

Trying to make a decision on if its worth it to spend the cash and go with this tune, seems like the best option out, or go with a cheaper option or enjoy the factory performance. Keep finding myself back in this sub thread.

Car looks great btw

Very nice! Do you have any other performance mods done to your car? Downpipes, exhaust?
I'm assuming you were also running pump gas.

Was RK tune able to resolve the issues you came across?

I have a ARM catless downpipe and resonator delete on my car. I'm currently running 91map but i have just asked RK to change it to 93. I'm still waiting for RK to get back to me with my new tune and it's been 2 weeks.... they r taking a long time but I guess it's reasonable since NY is rlly bad with COVID-19 atm.

Thank you. Install is a breeze. And honestly the tune is the best mod I did to the car. Extremely noticeable power difference. Like night and day. Go for it man. And I'm not affiliated with RK Tunes in any way - just the best tune out from what we are seeing.
