FS: Racechip Ultimate for N20 420i

I've recently sold my 420i, and taken out the racechip ultimate which I used for just over a year. The module made a great improvement to both performance and economy and was definitely worth the outlay. It is extremely simple to install and remove (for dealer visits).
It has an adjustment to increase performance further but I never pushed it. It was mounted out of the bay and was always kept dry.

Pretty much as new, with original box, etc.

Price reduced, asking £200.

Do you still have this? Does this one need to be plugged into the OBD port like a JB4?

Which model is it? On their website I can only see S, RS and GTS.

Hi, yes I still have it. It was a great unit, just didn't sell it with my car. Variable power improvements too!

Here are some weblinks:

And, no, you don't plug it into the OBD port. It's all done in the engine bay. Here is my installation link:

Can you switch maps on it? Is it done by an app or on the box itself? Just reading a few conflicting articles.

Hmmm, there are two potentiometers that provide adjustment - 'different maps' - if you will.

This is a vid on adjustment for the diesel unit. Petrol is the same.



And there's a USB port on it for updates. Red circled item is the one.
