chipexpress tuning box for f10 520d. Traceable?

I came across a company called chipexpress that make a tuning box that they claim improves performance and economy of the 520d and can be removed and will not be traceable afterwards.
Does anybody know if their claims are correct or if theyare worth having?

Talked to a BMW mechanic about this. It will be logged in the computer when someone is performing an "update "

I had the same conversation, and was told the intelligence required is not available yet. Nothing has changed since previous models.

Sorry I should have stated with a tuning box. With a remap, again unless investigated will nit be found. Although an update would wipe it!
