Nope and i would never get just a remap on stock motor.

Only get it tuned after lots of mods i say

F series has been "cracked" for some time now. So yes ecu can remapped.
AC is just a tuning box I think. nothing wrong with that the US guys go mad for Burger tuning. awesome results

Uhhhmm the price?It's £3500 for a PLUG IN TUNING BOX. not even a proper remap.
As a dealer option, fine. As an aftermarket, absolutely no! Even though, yes, you get the benefit of the warranty.
For comparison a tuning box for most other cars is around £300. And they will be no more or less complex.

So they can remap through the OBD port and away you go? Do you have an F series M car have you had this done?
NO they can not, the ECU has to come out.Also the new software at dealerships now reads the key on the way into the workshops, this logs ( so a tech told me) the boost and many other parameters.
This may only apply to 2015 on cars though not sure on that.
Does make a re-map a risk though.

That's dealer BS. The key only holds CBS data & Profile details, not performance data is held on the key or the diagnostic areas of the ECU.Also the new software at dealerships now reads the key on the way into the workshops, this logs ( so a tech told me) the boost and many other parameters.

I know that Audi can tell straight away as part of the service routine, it gives TD1 notice. I have had the same feedback from my BMW dealer saying they can tell.
Shoving 720hp through the car is a dangerous game if you aren't willing/able to stand on and instead try and rely on the BMW warranty if it goes bang.

The risk is low for an engine to go bang is it not?? How many have went bang??
I've not seen any hard evidence of them going bang in my short time of research but if it did then there would be plenty of tears shed!
The Americans seem to be pushing the boundaries and seems to be clutches is the first thing that starts to fail when power limits are reached on stock running gear...
Excitement nearly always is the result of taking some sort of risk
