V10 ECU Issues

Vee Ten GP

New member
In 2007 OB from Chip Logic modified the ECU on my 2006 E60 M5 (Vee Ten GP)together with exhaust and inlet mods. The car has gone extremely well since then but now has issues with the ECU throwing faulty signals for cylinder 9. 
Cilnton at Cedar Isle BMW has swopped plugs coils etc on this cylinder as well as doing a compression test but the same engine fault signals are thrown up for cylinder 9 and eventually the car goes into limp mode.
The DME was sent away for checking and opinion was that the ECU is now corrupt for unknown reason so needs to have the modified "flash" removed to go back to standard, hopefully get rid of the problem and have another, similar, ECU mod done to restore the awesome performance.
Unfortunately OB has passed away so we cannot go back to him to fix all of this.
Can anyone on the forum suggest someone who might be able to help us here? Clinton will try to get hold of OB's brother Cleo to see what he can suggest but are their any other EXCELLENT M5 tuners out there who can assist in this particular regard?
As a pensioner for some years now I certainly can't afford a new ECU/DME.

The other person who might be able to help you is Gert from OBDWorx... he doesn't do much private work but i am sure if you explain him your situation as a pensioner he will assist.

Good luck!

Hi there, I am sure I can help with this, if that is indeed the issue.
