    You get what you pay for....and this is probably what you will get.

    A fake box with a resistor inside.

    So you're going to risk damage to a 2011 BMW for the sake of a few hundred euro's, I know I wouldn't.

    At 91 quid I'd expect the full snack box tbh.

    You can get a remap for closer to ~€250 I know what I'd prefer :)

    Not sure if that is possible. The later N47 engines have a protected ECU which means they are very difficult to remap at present. A proper tuning box like Bluefin might be an alternative.

    OP, don't waste your money on this rubbish because that is what it is. OP go over to BMW-DRIVER.net and look for one of the site sponsors - Martin from Autoremap. He will advise you what can and cannot be done with your car.

    Ah, was not aware of this. But yeah, Martin is the man to speak to
