Man that is AWESOME!!! A brotha with a G80... I love it. From one brotha to another brotha.. much love and respect. I am gonna keep rockin my F80. Your vids are GREAT!!! Tire up grade for mine is 285 35 19 in front and 325 30 19 rear.
Thanks for publishing this. I live in Utah and I’m planning on ordering the X-Drive version as soon as I hear from the dealership that I can. It’s good to know there is a tuning option that adds power. Keep up the good work!
@@kigzman1745 hey yea got it installed. Small problem though. I’m 6mt and the clutch can’t even handle map 3 rn. So have to upgrade to fully feel it. I’m map 2 and it’s a nice bump for now.
"A" sensor was no joke! It almost made me feel that the $400 my BMW dealership was going to charge me for installation was well worth it. That sensor alone took me 1hr, many expletives, and made me a believer :D The key: USE LONG PICK TOOLS (do not go cheap like I did and get the short pick tools)
Waiting to see the dyno, I'm waiting on my G80 to get here in September. Would prefer to just have a tuner rather then a piggy back system but if there's no solution by the time I get the car I guess I'm gonna have to go with this option.
Shout out from Australia. Hey just have a couple questions that I hope you can answer. I'm hovering over the buy button but just not sure yet. So my questions are; Does the racechip work best matching the BMW modes or do the racechip modes work great with all the BMW modes? Also.. I've heard it interferes with being able to use your phone for music, is this true? Thanks mate I really appreciate it.
The racechip will work in any drive mode (comfort - Sport plus)... I never had an issue... if you have wireless carplay, it uses wifi to connect and you can use BT to connect to racechip
Man I’m waiting for the Xdrive since I live in New York but boy oh boy you have me rubbing my hands like Birdman. Lmao 🤣 wish I had a tad bit more open roads like you guys do down there lol love the amazing content man keep doing great things!
Did you get the 15% better fuel economy when you installed the Racechip by the way? They advertise that. I guess extra torque means better fuel economy.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the key tool here is the "PICK TOOL", right? Without it people are probably bound to break that locking tab trying to pry the connector out. I'm heading to Harbor Freight this afternoon to get me a set of those pick tools ;)
@@WhatsyourForte Pick tools helped a little. Getting in that tight space was a MAJOR PITA!!! I swear, I had divine intervention on this one. I just squeezed my hand in there (after loosening that assembly that is in the way) and some how was able to hook both connectors with my fingers alone. That 'A' connector took me a good hour. I'm glad I didn't have the German engineer that design this layout next to me, because it would have turned ugly for him. :D The car now runs amazing. Question: So, what do you do with the issue with the TQ limiter and Sport+ ? Do you drive it in Eco mode? How do you launch it? Note: I referenced your video more than any other during my install; RC's video did not helped much. So, thank you again!
@@jlow4544 yeah they designed it for us not to mess with it. Glad you got it installed. You are fine to run the car on map 7 all of the time. That is what I have been doing with no issues.
Hey man, thank you for sharing this content. I seen in your recent videos you've dropped RC. Just wondering, as you look back on it now, would you have still gotten the RC if you could do it all over again? Any complaints you have about it near the end of having it installed? I appreciate any insight you can offer.
Most definitely would have gotten it. E is hard to get in my area so I would not be using JB4 to its full potential. Racechip is quick enough for most people
Im.planning on getting the RC on a Halloween sale their having this week. $100 off the regular price. My question is....will it damage the engine in any way if i keep the settings at a 7 (the highest) at all times?
After driving around a bit, how do the shifts feel in automatic mode (in the race setting-7) when you put your foot up its ass? Still smooth, no wonky transmission behavior? Your pulls should be faster in automatic mode, lock it in gear, punch it then click the lever over to automatic… looking forward to it
The shifts feel great just like stock on level 3 shift setting. When the foot is to the floor and shifts feel to hit a little harder when at high speed.
@@WhatsyourForte nice! As long as it doesnt add transmission latency to automatic mode it should be real good for roll racing. Saw the supra mexico video also..
When you say void your warranty, what do you mean… like if you run this and your engine blows up, if they find proof this caused it they will not cover it. Racechip covers 10k if damages are proven
Thanks. Yes it feels like the normal car until about 3.5k then you can start to feel the difference. For daily drives when I am just chillin, I use 3 or 5
Anytime you increase speed or power over the default BMW specs you run that risk. Really depends on your shop/dealer on how they feel about it. If they can prove that your mod caused the issue, it is voided.
Love RaceChip but the app is a huge mistake for one reason, cars only let you connect one Bluetooth at time! Soon as I added RaceChip it bumped the phone used for music videos, then if a throttle response (pedal commader,pedal roar) that might cause another problem,physical devices that connect to each other are better until cars accept multiple Bluetooth devices
Sensor A easy on the m3/m4 compared to x4m motor 🤣 i sold mine said fuck this tight area and got bm3. Congrats again bro the car is about to be a monster.
Good vid and nice car. "Butt dyno" a fun way to test but I like to run before and after 60-130 Dragy testing to see what's what regarding actual results. Preferably on the same day/road/DA.
Depends on your dealer really… I have seen guys have full tunes and get warranty work… the one good thing about this is that you can take it off. Some say the dealers can see it and others don’t. Dinan has pretty much the same thing. Just ask your dealer
@@WhatsyourForte I just picked up a 2022 m3 comp and am in Columbia sc. I bought a gts race chip but am scared to put it in as I’m worried about losing my motor warranty…. I have just heard that BMW are tough on tuners. So I was curious if you have had any motor, turbo, or fuel injector issues and if you think it’s worth putting it in ? Thanks!
Do NOT get this junk for your car! This crap is not good for your car! Mass produced and not made for your engine specifically! Go to a serious company and get it done correctly!

You are welcome. This unit is more of a piggyback and not a tune also but works great for those who just wants something super simple.
@@WhatsyourForte yeah I completely get that. Until someone comes up with a way to actually tune the car, piggyback is the only way to go for now.
@@dutchman9775 yep
Interesting how nobody use a Timer when they're (Testing) the Racing Chip. It's a fake..
Out there pioneering G80 content. Good stuff, bro.
Thanks bro
You did an excellent job explaining the install. Man I can’t wait to get my G80! Thank you.
Thank you
I love mine installed gts on my hyundai n got dyno at 85 extra hp . Works great
My OCD went off the charts when you placed the module faced down lol!
Hahahaha
Got my racechip on the way thanks for the vids!
Has it arrived yet? Can u feel the difference in power?
Yessir
You can definitely feel it
@@kigzman1745 hey yea got it installed. Small problem though. I’m 6mt and the clutch can’t even handle map 3 rn. So have to upgrade to fully feel it. I’m map 2 and it’s a nice bump for now.

😂 yeah that sensor is a pain.
what kind of sensor is that?
Nice reaction man! This confirms the S58 is 100% beast! Imagine what a full tune would do! 🤔🔥🔥🔥
Yeah I cannot wait
Godly, I definitely can’t wait to get mine now, loving this post Bro!
Yessir
New to your channel and just got my G80 two months ago. Love the content and appreciate the ideas.
Congrats on the G80. Thanks
I appreciate it! Looking forward to seeing what the future hold for yours.
Spicy. 🌶

Love the quality content and car you deserve it!
Thank you
New to your channel via thic whips, you've got a bad ass g80 and can't wait to see the progress come along in due time, great job bro!
Thank you.
im in love with you car spec. Those colors just work so well together. Looking forward to some #s from this.
Thanks. Dyno’n in a few hours

Hahah you are welcome

Yeah If I lived up there I would have drive also. Not the bird man hand rub 😂 thanks bro
Love the way, you only get through 3 gears before you run out of road
Did you get the 15% better fuel economy when you installed the Racechip by the way? They advertise that. I guess extra torque means better fuel economy.
Engine compartment hot alarm? For what
Basically when you have the motor on and pop the hood… it is a default warning
@ now i have to check it on mine🤷🏻♂️ thanks
Nothing is better then the jb4 for a bmw !
A tune is better
Jb4 same as this piggyback
So you have to connect the app with the racechip every time you want the extra power?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the key tool here is the "PICK TOOL", right? Without it people are probably bound to break that locking tab trying to pry the connector out.

Can you do some 0-60 and 60-100 pulls in the different maps?
Coming soon. Things are hot in Charlotte right now with cops so I have to be careful.

Will it void the bmw warranty if you remove it before service at dealer?

Great Video man!
Does it feel smooth driving around in town on comfort? What setting are you using for daily 5 or 7?
Thanks. Yes it feels like the normal car until about 3.5k then you can start to feel the difference. For daily drives when I am just chillin, I use 3 or 5
Do the race ship work on the Idrive 8
You operate the Racechip via the module or the app.
Didn't hear you mention if this voids the warrantee. Maybe I missed it.
Anytime you increase speed or power over the default BMW specs you run that risk. Really depends on your shop/dealer on how they feel about it. If they can prove that your mod caused the issue, it is voided.
@@WhatsyourForte great info! Have an XDrive 2022 M3 on order! Just trying to understand the options and risks
Do you also have to put the car in Sport or Sport Plus?
It works in all driving modes
Fire 🔥 bro.
Thanks bro
Does it help improve initial acceleration?
Yess alot
Thank you! Also: Ever have a problem bringing it in for service at BMW? Or do you go elsewhere?
@@Henry-gy6yo they did my break in service. But I don’t take my car to BMW unless I have a major issue.

Really? I did not have that problem with mine. I also left mine on 7 most of the time
Should use a draggy also to see the 60-120 difference
coming soon
Nice spec, thinking of getting the same. But manual though
Donit
Do it
Would it be worth getting this racechip if you have an actual tune? Like piggyback
No… a tune is always better than a piggyback. There are currently no tunes available at this time as the ECU is still locked.
@@WhatsyourForte keep up the videos! I subscribed let’s go!!
Sensor A easy on the m3/m4 compared to x4m motor 🤣 i sold mine said fuck this tight area and got bm3. Congrats again bro the car is about to be a monster.
Hahaha I can’t wait until BM3 and MHD are ready
Once installed will it pass emissions?
Looking forward to seeing this on the dyno, what's its standard figures 480ish?
I got around 488/489
@@WhatsyourForte Nice man good numbers, hopefully see that bad boy up at 550+ 👌
So do you need a laptop for these chips ?
Nope plug and play
Why is mine asking for a Bluetooth code
I am not sure. Make sure the correct code was entered from the instructions. If so reach out to Racechip
Fuuuuug yeah mang! 🚀 looking forward to this on the awd as well. That boost sensor is a complete hooker.
Yeah the AWD M3 is going to be insane. Yeah it is hidden 😂
Does this not void your warranty?
Depends on your dealership. But any mod can potential void a warranty. If you sunroof stops working this would not void it
Gibt es da ein unterschied zu Serie ich meine, spürt man die Mehrleistung wirklich?
Yes you do feel it
How's your racing for G80 holding up?
Very good no issues. I daily map 5 and weekends I put it on map 7
Ich habe es eingebaut ,, 100-200 jetzt in 6,9. - 7.1 sec ! Vorher Serie 100-200 immer so in 8,3-8.5 👍🔥
Dyno please. I want to see if the power is real

its starting to get serious 🔥

Yeah if I had a dragy at that point I would have done it
So this is a xdrive ?
No RWD
Can the dealer detect this?
Probably I am not sure
The control module can easily be unplugged for that exact reason, Racechip has thought ahead.
would this void warranty? Im looking for options that won't void my warranty. please lmk

Do you regret voiding your warranty with the piggyback… was the upgrade worth it?
Who says my warranty is voided? I got warranty work done after this.
