Can BMW tell that you had an aftermarket ECU upgrade (ESS) if you flash the ECU back to BMW OEM before bringing it into a dealer for service?

No

I have your old tune that I paid 1080 for is there a step up tune price since I already paid 1080 for the old tune I just dont want to bust out another grand ?
Direct flash software is different than our standard software in terms of coding. To change over it would require a complete reflash of your currect software and cost would be the same.

How much does it costs to have the RPI Stage 2 tune installed?
Contact Eloy at RPI to check on this.

I read here on another post here that the dealership scanned a "tuned" car and while it did not detect a "tune" per se, it did collect data that the car exceeded 8,250 RPM and thus voided the warranty. I believe the car needed engine repair.

Any comments regarding that? That is what worries me about flashing the ECU.

If RPM limit is a concern you can always request stock RPM limit with our software.

Roman@ESS I think this ESS Tuning Direct Flash software a great offer but I have a question for you, according to the E60 M5 Complete vehicle Aftersales Training (see link bellow) the DME for the S85B50 (control unit Siemens MS_S65) can only be reprogrammed up to 63 times. Do you confirm that ?
