Howsit Guys, I wanted to find out about putting software on my car as i have never modified any of my cars in the past and im really considering it now. I have recently purcahsed a 2016 X4 2.0D X drive MSport (100 000kms) and feel it needs a bit more power. I have always kept my previous cars stock and just well maintained, which has served me really well in the past as i have never had issues with my vehicles so now i am a bit cautious who to let tune my car.
1. I live in Pietermaritzburg so accessibility is a slight issue. The closesest guys around me are: Insane Racing Midlands, Boost Tech Midlands and Global Tuning. Are any of them reputable and has anyone have any experiance with them tuning their BMW or what other options do i have?
2. What do i need? Just ecu and tcu tune, downpipe? egr delete and decat? swirl flaps? what is necessary as i dont want a race car i just more umph under my right foot without compromising reliability.
3. Also what should i budget as i have no idea of the cost of this exercise?
As i said i have never done anything like this before so i would appreciate some words of wisdom.
Thanks
