I emailed Singh Autosports last week on the gains for my 2004 530i.. Jags replied back "You can squeeze 20hp 19lbs tq from your car (maybe more... We need to read the file). We can remove the hesitation/flat spots/speed limiter, etc, etc."

very tempting... :thumbsup:

I might not go all the way, but I'd tea-bag those rims for sure! :lol:

Do it Fiel! It's so convenient too since he's local.

Anyone do this on a 545 yet? If so, what gains/changes do you see? Does this remap cause problems if your car if under warranty?

Vegastrashed had it on his 545 a few years ago. PM him but he's traveling at the moment.

Most if not all software remaps are supposed to be undetectable by the dealers so there shouldn't be any issues with warranty. They would also have to prove that your aftermarket software directly caused a part to fail to deny you warranty work. So let's say your AC stops working, it'll be tough to say that a software remap that adjusts things like fuel, timing, throttle response..etc.. is responsible for ruining your AC.

More power and better fuel economy makes it VERY tempting, what is the reflash warranty? If the dealer flashes my ECU will Singh reflash it afterward?

I haven't discuss that with Jags yet but I will follow up with him on what is his warranty policy is.

As soon as I hear Singh is coming down to the shop, I will update this thread.

He can squeeze that much HP and TQ out of Fiel's car with the mods he has (exhaust, scoop, etc).

Like ECF said, vegastrashed had the tune on his old 545i. Gains are about 20 HP and 20 lbs/TQ, with the speed limiter removed.

This remap will not cause any problems at all. We currently tune O'Gara Coach Company of Beverly Hills cars http://www.astonmart...verlyhills.com/. When we took a tuned Rolls Royce Phantom into service, the dealer could not detect the remap until we told them after the service that the car was had a ECU remap done.

There's info on their website FAQ about their policy if a dealer reflashes the tune back to stock http://www.singhauto...com/index2.html ... sounds good.. I'll probably have to wait and get this as a Christmas present for myself...
