I would check your file name. It is probably burble F and it is burbling on the bottom end causing jerking.

Burbles would never cause jerking.

Ran my E90 through the Nurburgring earlier this week. I didn't push it hard at all but a good tune and DCT tune made the ride fun.
Been riding this file since 2018.

Are there any dyno graphs showing stage 1 w/ primary cat delete vs stage 2? I've tried searching the thread but most posts showing stage 1 vs stage 2 dynos are catted for stage 1, so the differences in hp/tq from the tune would be unknown due to the removal of the cats being a 2nd variable.

There are some tunes for which no graphs are available.

If you're running this tune with a 93 octane map and you put 91 in it, what happens? There's 93 available everywhere around me but sometimes out in the sticks only 91 is available.

Curious on this as well. In FL 93 is readily available almost anywhere but I am worried if I ever decide to go on a long cruise out in the sticks I'd only find 91. Will my car blow up?

I can not imagine it would as long as all the safety parameters remained unchanged, Alex, could you confirm?

I just installed my tune, good stuff Alex. Thanks.

It isn't suggested. 93 octane full throttle ignition targets are higher. You don't want the car to shoot for the sky always and have the knock detection keep pulling timing. In short, you don't want to ride the safety rail 24/7.

If you find yourself having to pump 91 on your 93 tune keep it under 6K RPM and you should be fine until you get a chance to switch over tunes or fuel. Rest your adaptions when switching maps specially octane related switches.

Hi Alex@Alpine!

Need tune for my 2013 E92 M3 (after BMW dealer deleted previous AA tune when replacing DCT);
I have "AA E9X M3 Signature X Pipe & High Flow Cats"
https://store.activeautowerke.com/search?q=year-2013-make-bmw-model-m3&type=product and REMUS catback muffler; Guessing I need a Stage2 93octane (I'm in Miami);

Do I just buy it from here and wait for email with instructions? https://alpinemss.com/collections/bmw-engine-tunes/products/e9x-m3-full-motor-tune-2007-2013

Let me know how to to this right and, Thanks! for your help!

Successfully organized a GB w/ Alex ~2yrs ago
Suggestion:

• 'Pre-establish' a list of confirmed/committed buyers before soliciting Alex [~15 or so]; otherwise, may not be likely attractive for a discount ultimately [his call].

Alex supported, helpful, responsive and fulfilled the GB
