N55 RaceChip Ultimate

Anyone installed the RaceChip Ultimate on their N55 335? Thoughts? Issues? I am considering this for my X3 and have only heard good feedback thus far.

(I looked for an existing thread like this but didn't see anything, If I missed it please point me in the right direction. Thanks!)

I've got the same car and thinking to get racechip ultimate. Is the performance hugely noticeable when you put your foot down?

Dinan Sport does the same thing in a nicer package for $299.

Not comparing apples to apples. Having recently heard about RaceChip, I was just checking out the options here:

https://www.racechip.us/shop/bmw/3-s...-300lb-ft.html

For $349, they claim +60HP and +66 lb-ft. For $599, they claim +75HP and +77 lb-ft...this one also can be bluetooth enabled for $50.

Dinan's Sport tuner is $299, includes bluetooth and they claim +30HP and +40 lb-ft.

Big differences.

I am suspicious that an otherwise stock F3x / N55 can handle +75HP...? I'm gonna research here on f30 bimmerpost, as I see a few good threads.
