BMW 2020 M550i G30 tuned | Dyno | 100-200 km/h | RaceChip

Good to know that all you have to do is get a stock M550I and put a slight tune on it and not break the bank doing it .

[@fatitigilo825]

Great detailed video. So, convince me, why should i get a racechip and not an ECU remap? The remap is much cheaper (offers start around 450 EUR) and it delivers +154hp +104nm, considerably more than the racechip. Both methods will cause loss of warranty when the dealership detects tuning has been applied. One of the chip tuners told me they can hide the tune. But others have said this is nonsense and any significant increase in performance can even be seen in values of the stabilization and traction control systems.

Love the content. What is the 0-60mph of a stock m550i vs a tuned m550i? Thank you!

[@Roddy_Zeh]

A stock M550i's time is about 3.8 seconds from 0-60 mph, IIRC. I would not be surprised if a tuned one could probably tackle the 3.5-second mark...maybe even less? It's insane the amount of power in a non-fully-fledged M car.

Great video guys, I love your channel! M550i is most definitely an interesting and compelling proposition from BMW. A question I'd like to ask is, when you're applying performance tune to such cars, can you also remove the electronic speed limiter? I realized such is not the case with this particular car but is it generally possible to do that with the tune? If so, how difficult or complicated it is to remove the limiter in an x50i BMW product? I can't help but thinking with 600hp+ tune that car would most certainly beg for more than Vmax > 260kmh. Thanks, and have an awesome day.

[@TasimanaOG]

this car is soo damn fast, was going to buy one but ended up with an a7 55tfsi, the m550i was "too" brutal, still amazing machine and maybe for my next car ;)

[@burakkiral4416]

Great video and again an awesome offering from RC. I have this very RC installed two weeks back and you can really feel the difference in pull/torque delivery when it’s in Race Mode...Just curious why not measuring 0-62mph or 0-100kmh in your videos but only 100-200kmh. Any legal, regulatory or commercial reasons?

[@RaceChipChiptuning]

Thanks Burak & glad to hear you're happy with the results after installing our product! The reason why we're not doing 0-100 / 0-62 runs runs is not for any of the reason you've suggested. It's simply because it's very hard to produce valid numbers since every run depends on so many factors we can't fully influence (road conditions (since in Germany weather is very unstable), tires on the specific car, AWD / FWD / RWD, driver skills (especially on manual cars), et cetera). This means that with some cars, you'd have to do a lot of runs to get valid results for stock and tuned which puts a lot of strain on the cars components. On the other hand, a 100-200 run doesn't depend that much on all of the factors above and can be repeated quite easily (in Germany at least thanks to our unlimited Autobahn). I agree that with an AWD car like the M550i, you could do them quite easily but if we do it for one car, we'd have to do it for every car :)

[@mbarbe007]

@@RaceChipChiptuning 100-200 should be the gold standard. Most of us care about freeway, highway take over / passing performance, AKA on the go acceleration. And indeed 0-100 is extremely hard reliably repeat on different locations, drivers, tires, etc... e ego that you guys said.

[@saulzamora1518]

[@RaphaelLacoste]

excellent review, Same engine as the M850 - I would be very curious to know about the 0-100 km/h times also with the RC GTS Black - is this tune making a difference ?

[@metagaminguniversemgu2240]

I just bought a used 2020 M550i with 13K miles on it. Love the car. Looking to do a modest upgrade with a computer tune, and opening the intake and exhaust. I'm considering a performance air filter, aluminum or carbon fiber Turbo intake, performance down pipes and exhaust with catalytic converter since it is required in Texas. I'm also considering an enhanced oil cooler to keep the heat manageable. My concern is I don't want to increase performance too much where it stresses other components of the engine and cause them to fail.

[@rufatkupa4848]

With your suggestions, the engine shouldnt be stressed too much, but an upgraded downpipe might throw check engine light codes even if it has a cat. To fix that you can go with a tune or a spacer for the o2 sensors to keep them from throwing the fault. Overall tasteful upgrades for the car, planning on doing a front mounted intake for mine to better hear those turbos, let me know if youve done them already! Id enjoy hearing your experience.

[@foxyboots]

[@YTLuc]

Thank you all for the review! *QUESTION for RaceChip:* Tune and Suspension. 1) What kind of tune-up did you recommend at 9:38? 2) What kind of suspension setup would you recommend that improves driving performance while maintaining the everyday riding comfort of the M550i? *Dankeschön!*

[@RaceChipChiptuning]

Hello Lucas, at 9:38 I was referring to a suspension upgrade because this is the part where you notice the difference to an M5 the most. In our experience, it often makes sense to simply use sport springs e.g. by Eibach instead of a complete coilover set-up. While the latter certainly makes the car even more precise and capable on a track, it often really hurts everyday usability since most of the are too harsh.

[@mitchpriehs9354]

Do you have a race chip piggyback tune for the 2021 M550i? Mine is getting delivered this week. I would LOVE your tune in my car. Here in my area there are very few M550i s within a 130 mile radius (3) and I would love to have the fastest one. Very impressive guys!

Great video. How does this compare to a stock f90 M5 100-200?

[@RaceChipChiptuning]

You can check the time we've measured with a pre-LCI M5 in one of our older videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIKqpqx7p5KMe9U However, the times are not 100% comparable since we've switched from qStarz GPS to Dragy in the meantime and every GPS device measures in a slightly different way - so take the M5s time with a grain of salt ;)

[@FutureGameLight]

for everyone wondering the M5 does around 7,10s 100-200

[@thesharkking1120]

You guys should also do 0 to 60 pulls before and after tuning.

[@RaceChipChiptuning]

We're getting that questions on a regular basis but we're not doing it since it depends too much on factors we can't really influence (road conditions, tires, FWD/RWD/AWD, drivers skills especially on manual cars, etc…). Hence, you would have to do a lot of runs to get valid results for tune and stock and this just doesn't pay off and wears the cars components too much in our opinion, especially since the 100-200 km/h runs are way more meaningful for engine power anyways.

[@thesharkking1120]

@@RaceChipChiptuning Thank you kindly for the reply. I understand the basis of your testing however, most people don't have roads like the Autobahn where as a 100-200 km/h run is more meaningful. Most people like myself live in US cities and do light to light street driving with some highway driving ,where as 0 to 60 is the greatest performance factor considered. I think making and investment in doing 0 -60 runs regardless of the challenges you've mentioned would only showcase your product that much more in turn, making racechip a more appealing option over competitors like Burger tuning JB4.
