X3MC LCI RaceChip Before & After Dyno Numbers

Just got back from EuroMpire in Charlotte NC,they did the RaceChip GTS install on my 2022 X3MC as well as back to back dyno pulls to see gains after the install.
Was hot as hell in the shop(106f) so conditions were not ideal but anyways the first pic is the stock baseline pull (RaceChip was disabled) followed by the next pic,which is with the RaceChip on map 6 or "race" on the Bluetooth app.

All pulls were with 93 octane pump gas. Haven't had a chance to do any Dragy runs yet,but I was able to find a clean section of concrete highway and launched it with map 6...the tires just lit up and spun into 2nd gear so I lifted.

The guys at EuroMpire were great,super friendly and would highly recommend them.

Wasn't expecting that much power. I'm on Map 7 and get no wheel spin at all on stock continental tires.

That's a pretty nice bump. Was planning to order this soon, and this confirms it. Thanks for sharing

User error. It may or may not have been map 7,I was using the bluetooth app for the 1st time and saw the 3 settings on the main page that said Race/Sport/Eco. I pressed Race. Then I saw "fine tuning" on the bottom of the screen and when I pressed that,it showed: map -6+(see attached pic) I pressed the + to activate map 7 but not 100% sure if it was or not. It was 106f in the shop,did 4 pulls(2 baseline w RC disabled,2 w RC "race" setting enabled )they asked if I wanted more pulls and I declined as it was hot enough and I didn't wanna push it w pump gas.
I had a 4hr trip back home and wanted to GTFO on the road before traffic got too bad.

Stock Conti's have 12k miles on them and still have some tread life but I launched it this morning on asphalt and it just sat there and roasted the tires for 4-5seconds then shifted into 2nd,spun a lil more,then hooked up and went. Im sure my 0-60 and 1/4mi are slower than stock. I'll get some 60-130 though and compare

Impressive. I like to think my MY 21 gets similar gains but I wonder if these gains are specific to LCIs. Regardless nice pulls and enjoy the gains

Nice numbers! But this Dyno is reading a bit high? Stock numbers LCI or not should be hitting 470whp for a comp.

Im not concerned with the peak numbers,I'm only concerned with the gains made from the RaceChip vs stock.

It works across the board of S58 engine on X3M/X4M until BMW changes something to the engine.

Is there any difference between a racechip designed for the X3M and a racechip designed for the M3?

Yes, 2 different mapping.
Module wise and harness are the same.

Bumping this one up - great numbers! Did they log the AFR?

Been reading posts about piggybacks running dangerously lean..

No we didn't check the AFR as the shop that did the install said it's a very mild bump in boost (2-3psi) and in their experience it's a non-issue with a RaceChip. In hindsight it would have been good to check for my peace of mind
Take it with a grain of salt however...

That being said,along with the new set of P4S tires I now have I was able to get a decent 0-60 and an 1/8mi pull early in the morning on my way to the gym. I'm along the coast and its miserably humid with atrocious +DA this time of year,but I dead hooked and got a good number. Anxiously awaiting cooler temps to get some quicker #'s and do some 1/4mi&60-130 pulls but that won't be til January/February down here.

How much did this cost for the install and dyno? I am looking to pull the trigger in a few months on this and I am about 2 hours east of their shop.

It FLOORS me that these cars have so much more power than the factory claims, not that I'm complaining! The numbers explain why these cars are so brutally fast! Great numbers!

Why is the mapping different for the same engine?
