I tried to get started with them, they have a Facebook page. However, when I asked questions about tune - they weren't able to provide details and ignored me and preferred to answer questions for n54/55 guys. My understanding is that they have good base of tuners using bm3 platform and providing tunes for straight six, but they have limited knowledge about S63/tu or even n63/tu that I was after. All they could do is to act as a middle man between a tuner and me. They just provide a software option to tune my car remotely - basically that's all bm3 is. You choose tuners and maps from their database. The thing is that now with OBD remote tuning option available widely - I can get connected directly to any tuner I want and buy tunes directly from them instead of paying extra for bm3 license. Their software and support is also hit and miss. Just read their FB page and you'll see many users asked questions and never got answers. There's also issues with servers been down periodically and users that paid money and wanted to download a tune were stuck waiting for servers. It seemed a good idea like 6 month ago - when OBD tunes weren't available for remote tuning, but now....... I don't know man

Another option is to just use piggyback - and remove it when going to dealership, but piggybacks don't give custom burble tunes - they just trick DME into raising boost, so your best bet is still to go with a proper tune via OBD - google around and I'm sure you will find some remote OBD tune for X5M Also, all bootmod3 tuners sell their tunes separately - you don't have to buy bm3 for that |

VF engineering and exhaust burble??
i had a VF Engineering tune on my 2013 X5M and am currently running a JB4 on my 2016 X5M. i'm looking to get that exhaust burble. Have you heard sound clips of the VF engineering tune or know if it has the exhaust burble??

infamousdiz , have you looked into RaceChip GTS Black?
In addition, tune itself will not cause exhaust burble. Exhaust burble is caused by slight gas vacuum inside the exhaust system. So, it will happened if you have high flow of gas then out of a sudden all of those pressure are dropped. On my F15 X5 sDrive35i and custom exhaust, with the tune, the exhaust burble become more noticeable. But, without the tune, is not as much. The same with my G30 540i. With MPE and RaceChip GTS Black, the burble sound more noticeable than without the tune. But, with stock muffler and tune, exhaust burble very hardly happen. In conclusion, you will need to change the exhaust to less restrictive with the tune to make that happen.

It's a good tech, no doubt. However, we have some forum members who went from JB4 to a DME flash just because JB4 was giving issues (throwing errors, CEL, ignition hiccups etc). Hopefully it will work flawlessly in your car. What about the tech support? I've heard Terry abandoned support for n63tu/s63tu due to low demand

I only have dyno pulls data from RaceChip, which I can't and prefer not to use since all the parameters are based on Gas and Climate in Germany. IMO, if you are going to push to the max with not to worry about reliability, then flash tune has the best result.

I have an appointment with AutoCouture to get my Stage 1 DME TUNE on a 18 X5M. I had it on my 2015 BMW 650 and it was amazing
