Giac questions

Hello everyone i just have a quick question, So i decided to get Giac flash for my 335i because it is easy to remove and also because i had good experience with Giac on my AUDI. The question is does Giac work as good with BMW as is with Audi and vw ? does it bring any problems after flashing the ecu?
thank you in advance

No problems that I have heard of with GIAC.

Easy to remove? No. Among the hardest to remove imo.

I can remove my tune in less than 15 minutes. With GIAC, you'd have to drive there and pay for it to be removed.

That being said, I don't think you really have to remove it much...

No problems here and loving my GIAC S1. Very smooth, responsive, and powerful.

Please do some searching, there are loads of threads about GIAC (stage 1 and stage 2).

Speaking for myself, I'm very happy with the stage 2 flash that I have (plus the mapswitcher). Loads of power, smooth delivery, repeatable power and excellent drivability.

You will love it ... I think it is more smooth than what I had in my VW Jetta 1.8T.

It is a great tune, i've tried both piggy's and the Giac and am very happy with the GIAC. Since I see your local, call AWE tuning, that is who I used, they are very good and knowledgable about the GIAC software/flash.

My car runs better than stock with the flash.
