Mainly the mapping.
I am sure that VR is using same hardware as RaceChip.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone actually tried to install the G80 racechip on a g87? I have racechip from my ‘21 G80 MT that I would like to reuse on my M2, but I didn’t notice anywhere in this thread if anyone has actually tried it. My car isn’t through break-in yet so I haven’t given it a go. I’m debating if I need to send it to get reprogrammed while I wait to get through break-in.

@r33_RGSport-I originally purchased the racechip through your website, would you handle the reprogramming?

It comes with 1x free reprogramming within 24 months of ownership.
Email me your order number, and I’ll check tomorrow.

I’d like to know if this works. If it does I’ll pay extra for the reprogramming. I have the race chip and I’d like more power.

1x reprogramming is when you are switching cars that require reprogramming.
It is not to do a custom map for your current car that is running a RaceChip.
RaceChip doesn't have custom map. At least not yet and nothing in the plan.

Hey everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone here uses Race Chip on the G87 manual. I've seen a lot of positive feedback and I'm very impressed. I'm curious about the impact of Race Chip on daily driving. I've read that it improves performance significantly and makes the car more efficient. I'm not too concerned about fuel efficiency, but I do enjoy daily driving and giving it a bit of a nudge every now and then! Can anyone share their experience?

Cheers

Thank you
Do you think the power & torque increase is more than what they claim? I see on the Dyno it is 573hp & 533 ft. lb

What setting we should be running for 98 octane?

Thank you, homies!
I installed it over the weekend, it made a significant increase in Power & Torque. However, the wheel spin is crazy in 1st and 2nd, and if the traction is off it's even worse! Purchased it directly from Race Chip. I will recommend it to anyone who's sitting on the fence.
