Glad to see you joined! How's the coolant holding up? Get those E28 M5 buddies on here too!!

Just fine, thanks for the top off!

Oooo.....powerchip. Not a good idea. They've blowed up many a car. I had their tune on mine. It advanced the timing a scary amount. Switched to an eurocharged tune. Not happy with it, but it is better than the power chip.

Very nice M5! I've seen it a few times in Menomonee Falls, I work in the business park across from EVS.

My office is on the opposite side of the business park (over on Lilly) but our warehouse is basically just across the street from Bradley, you probably see me all the time

Never had an issue with powerchip... There are plenty of e39 M guys running it on M5board.

Thanks for the kind words guys!

OK. Really like the car. Glad another 5er is on the boards.

And plenty other threads. Basically no-one is running the powerchip tune on the M5 forum. But besides that, everyone is.

Oh, and sorry if i sound like a dick, I would just hate for you to have problems with your car. I will stay quiet on the matter if you wish.

Not my fault you're too cool to hang with Chris, Kevin and I!

[REKIII]

Not too cool. Afraid my lack of coolness will detract from yours. Sorta like melting ice in water.

Oh, not at all man, I appreciate the concern. I'm running the updated MAF-less tune on the 92 octane with sport memory and speed limiter removed tune. 93 octane is readily available so no worries there. I've seen some of the complaint threads and can honestly say I've never experienced any of those issues that some others have had.
