Anyone familiar with Eurotech in Atlanta? They seem to be the only GIAC dealer here (outside of the Audi/VW dealerships) and their website does not mention anything about working on BMWs.

Thanks. But they seem to be very expensive for the tune...?

Do you have a dealer in Lima, Perú ?

I'm already running stage one and since added FMIC and DPs (catted).
What's the cost to upgrade to stage 2 for the UK?
Thanks.

GIAC software allows you to maintain the full function of the M button. Due to the fact that you are making more power, the button actually has a more dramatic effect than in stock form.

Our dyno uses a smoothing factor of 6. For reference, most dynos are using a smoothing factor of 20.

Eurotech is a very knowledgable tuner, having been a GIAC dealer for 12 years. Talk to Brian over there and he will ensure that your car runs perfectly!

The cost to upgrade from Stage 1 to Stage 2 is $100 USD.

Thomas@GIAC · 05-09-2012, 11:39 AM

Just a confirmation, the GIAC Stage 2 software can be utilized with the factory downpipes (Assuming that the car has the other necessary supporting modifications for this stage).

I have contacted the Chilean GIAC dealer a week ago and someone called Alvaro Santibanez T. mailed me back asking the VIN of the car to give me pricing and other details and I passed that too but they did not return back, am still waiting. From their web site I saw that there are ready software for some BMW models including 135i but not for 1M. Very probable that I may be the first 1M owner here who contacted them and maybe they don't even know the 1M as a separate model due to very few number of 1Ms here so I appreciate if you guys could check the situation with your local dealer and inform them as well. Thanks in advance.

Alvaro did contact GIAC here at our office a couple days ago. He is aware that you have a 1M and was excited about getting the software installed on your car. Perhaps he forgot to get back to you, but I would try giving him a call to try to set something up directly. Keep me updated on this situation.
