Another Flash tune option

Found this online today, not sure how legit it is. VR racing claims to have an OBDII port flash tune for the m235i.

The site states fueling and timing changes. No mention to changing any of the other parameters. From the description it sounds like it forces the car to remap it's own settings base on some artifical inputs. Hence the drive the car 100+ miles after tuning to realize the changes.

Vivid Racing is not a company I would trust a standalone tune from. They're normally a big warehouse vendor with Chinese-made parts under their parts nameplate.

Is it really that difficult to remove the JB4 unit (with or without the extra harnesses) over this?

Also, at this pricepoint, why not just go Dinan?
