Raceship GTS Black Vs Dinan stage 1

I got my 2018 750 x drive and I am
Interested in a tune to the engine.

Dinan stage 1 is 2200$ +tax including labor installed at the dealer (warranty included)

GTS Black is 800$. Do it yourself

Price is one part, I am also concerned about the "drivability" and I think performance is about the same with both tunes.

Anyone has either can shed some light on what's their personal experience

Hi Drift Master, don't personally have experience with either but hoping the following helps:

Source1064 posted that they had the Racechip GTS Black installed among other very nice mods, maybe contact them and see if they can give you any info?

The post I am referring to is here: Racechip GTS Black on G series 7

Just in case you haven't seen the Dinan thread, there is one here, not sure about end user comments / reports but maybe they can provide some reference for you...

Dinan Stage 1 thread (company is OP)

Hope this info helps. Safe travels (or wild drifts as the case may be!)

I have a previous gen RC in my X6 and I'm happy with it. Drives great.

Just keep in mind if something on the engine fails, your dealer will blame the RC. Dealers are much more likely to cover a Dinan tune

Put all the settings to sport plus, take traction FULLY off and put the shifter in MANUAL mode. HOLD THE BREAK HARD, as you are holding the break push the gas pedal hard and it will activate.

Put it on the highest setting you can

Traction has to be fully off
