M Driver's pack retrofit/ Speed Limit Removal ?

alpinewhitef80mthree · 02-28-2024, 03:48 AM

Hey guys,just picked up a G87
Wanted to wait a while before tuning it just to see if there are any teething issues.
My speedo is restricted to 255km/h (I did not get a chance to spec my car and my car came without the M drivers pack) I was wondering if there was a workaround without sending my ECU to Femto. To my knowledge the tuning boxes/jb4's don't actually remove this limiter and the M driver's pack cannot be retrofitted. Seems like a chicken and egg problem.

Hoping theres some way around this

I thought an ECU tune (not piggyback) would take care of this. I don’t think you need to send your ECU in.

You do have to send it in because currently the only way to tune the ECU/DME is to have it unlocked first, which only FEMTO can do.

do you have a sunroof? that is the only reason why 7ME can´t be retrofitted.. if no sunroof - go to dealership .. pay more than it was when ordered directly:-) .. ( in some cars sparkplugs need to be changed , don´t know how they do it for g87)
