Anybody get their US 535D flashed yet?

With the recent development of the Fxx ECU flashes, has anybody moved forward with this yet?

Racechips for me. Piggy back unit rather than ECU reflash. Car runs very well.

So no SES light or shaky running engine? How many miles have you had it on? Thinking about ebaying my dtuk and getting the race chip. Also, wasn't sure if the Burgertuning unit works with our cars.

I just put on last night. Car started right up and I could not tell anything was done to it. Just drove smooth as before.

When you roll on throttle in comfort it just pulls harder faster. I sport it fully takes off and everything is much faster!

No cel thus far. I just left the settings along. I didn't ajust for more power but may later.

Which piggyback or flash did you install?

I would not trust racechips, MB forum has several engine failures.

Racechips Ultimate.

All of these chips have risk. Especially when we have the power to adjust them. It is easy to keep dialing them up.

I am running on the setting they sent to me. From all I could find this seems to be a safe chip and safe level to run on.

Drivability is excellent. I went out on I-20 this afternoon and it is great.

We have BMW not MB so it depends on those engine failures doesn't have to be because of the RC but because of the added power without testing each setting before increasing.
Look at F15 section plenty of folks using RaceChip for over a year 35d 35i , M235 forum has about 5 folks already, I have it on my X3 28i (first one), Pal TShoot on his 535i
Yellowflash transferred his unit from his previous car to his newer car.

Before we judge, maybe you can share more details on what year and model, which RaceChip, what settings, is there any other mods?
It would be unfair just to judge something without knowing the details.
