Not with the product itself. RaceChip engineers are making the product for the best gain while still have the engine longevity in mind.
Of course anyone will be able to tune your car for double the hp, but that will only last your engine for 1 straight 1/4 mile run.
In your opinion would the gains be noticeable with Racechip installed on a 2.0 B48 530i ?

It is advertised at +66hp/+70lb-ft gain for GTS Black.
With that number, it would be noticeable.
I've noticed the gain on my G30 540.

Thinking I’ll go the Racechip route so I can remove it before servicing.
Flash tune is the same price, including before and after dyno sheets.
But the car has done 1000 km so it’s still under warranty for another 3 years.

Thanks for the information. It’s my first BMW

Black Kidney Grills

Coding, if you are willing to drive to my office, I can get them done.
I ordered OEM grills for my 540D M Sport. They didn't fit since I have that night vision camera option which is mounted in the grill. Thought about cutting etc to fit but decided nah. BMW as far as I can tell doesn't make black grills that incorporate the night vision camera. If you know otherwise I'd like to get my hands on a set. Also will the flaps still operate as designed? Thanks in advance. Steve

I have yet to see one locally with Night Vision.

I don't think it is a popular option for US market.

Can you just swap the outter ring?

Thank you.
I don't have the car anymore since end of 2019. So, no more mods to show off.
