The product is not available for sale yet. It was a prototype of my vendor that I trust on the quality and fitment.
I believe it should be ready by mid January.

How is the rear diffuser removed? I have a MP diffuser on the way and just wondering how to get the old one off.

Thx

Just few screws on the bottom and clips on the top.

Thanks. Sounds simple enough.

Nice ride!

Question for you. With the race chip, what modes do you use on the chip and the car? If you switch the car to sports then do you switch the chip as well?

I use it on any modes.
It is activated all the time whether you are in Eco/Eco+, Normal, or Sport/Sport+ mode.

Gotcha,

so you don't change the modes on the chip with the phone app?

Are you talking about the RaceChip GTS series or the RaceChip Ultimate series?
The one that I currently using is the RaceChip Ultimate series, where you can't change the setting via Phone App.

I believe Racechip Ultimate has an option called "Ultimate Connect" that has the app functionality. I guess you don't have that one.

In any case, I'm deciding between the Ultimate and the GTS Black. It seems the GTS Black is the newer technology and is said to produce slightly better results. I guess I'll go for that one.

That's for your review, it's nice to buy something that worked well for someone else.

Cheers

You are correct.
But, RaceChip has discontinued the Ultimate series all together.
The Ultimate Connect has short lived in the market.
I just received them and going to install it in my car today for a test.
I will create a new thread with my review afterward.

I don't know if anyone has asked already but did you change the bumper trim to fit the diffuser and if so did you have it painted gloss black? I would love if they made the bumper trim in carbon fiber along with the diffuser. I have found one diffuser that comes as a one piece design and is all carbon fiber but I'm holding off to see if anything better comes to market.

By the way the car is looking great, I haven't read this thread since before I pulled the trigger on a M550i.

Yes, I have changed Bumper Piece to M Performance.
It came primed from BMW, so I have to get it painted Gloss Black.

Thanks and sorry I found that you had already answered the question after further reading, after I already sent the post. Car looks awesome, you've done a lot since last I read your thread.

Yea, it does work.
Mine is '17 model, not sure if BMW changed anything on the later model.

I know this is old but how easy was it to install the carbon fiber interior trim? Any removal of pieces necessary?
