Flashing: The instructions were incorrect which led to flashing errors and my car not starting.

After a few emails back and forth it was figured out and I got the car flashed.
Results: Purely seat of the pants, power feels the same as having a test pipe with no tune. The added features (cold start delete, cold start rev limit, increased rev limit etc) are nice and I think my fuel economy may have slightly improved.
DCT Tune: I have noticed zero difference. This may be because I only drive in M5.
Servotronic changes: Dave from M3 world recommended I don’t go with this option but I ignored that as I saw so many positive forum reviews. I found the steering in sport really weird and inconsistent. I asked Dave if I could go back normal servo mapping and was told this would cost US$150 and his hands are tied on the matter.
I then asked on a thread on this board if anyone else found Benvo’s servo mapping weird. There was a short back and forth between Mike and myself. I can’t go back to exactly what was said as Mike has since deleted the entire thread. This has disappointed me the most and does not strike me as the reaction of someone who is completely confident in their product.
I wish I had done some more research before purchasing.
Also want to say throughout all of this Dave from M3world has been nothing but helpful and professional.

I have had a engine and DCT tune on my Frozen E92 for 2-1/2 years. The shifting is excellent with the tune as the car springs forward into the next gear very smoothly. No issues at all. The engine tune works well with my VF supercharger as the BPM software is aggressive but conservative at the same time protecting the naturally aspirated V8.
I have always had great response and service from Mike at BPM Sport as he always has done what he says. Even goes for test rides to explain the programming and listens to what I'm trying to get out of the car before recommending all the options.
