BPMsport tune +23hp
Hi all,
A quick follow up post to my quick post earlier in the 240E thread. Mike sent me a replacement .mod file for the one he gave to me earlier to get the car started. The specs I requested were:
I loaded up iFlash, put in the file Mike emailed over and we pulled off 403hp, 404hp, 405hp, very consistent! Therefore I am happy to say we are finally in the 400hp club. The car did not make more much power below 4k RPM, a personal bugbear of mine since I got the car. Above 4k RPM however, it feels VERY much smoother and there is a tangible increase in urgency. The power does not fade till ~7+k, where the rate of increase of revs tapers slightly continues to pull cleanly till the new warm cut. The increased revcut does not feel like it taxes the engine, and the AFRs are safe through too. As a final piece-de-resistance which I am thrilled about, the car also sounds different after the tune - it has a more aggressive, purposeful tone through the revs. My engine mods are:
The car is a 2008 DCT. I strongly recommend working with Mike Benvo. He has provided me exceptional customer service, and his product works well and as advertised. I would happily recommend him and his product to anyone else who is in a similar position. In fixing my car and subsequently supplying me with this tune he has demonstrated good knowledge of the MSS60 DME and the custom flashing process. Thanks! |

@Mike,
Thanks for your help - you have been very patient in working to meet my requirements. You have also been very professional and discreet as this all has unfolded. Whilst I sort out the dramas with the unnamed workshop over here - lets keep the details and names (mine included!) tight. Take care! |

That's a great gain! Glad you are enjoying the software. I wish we had the same gas you have out here!
I will undoubtedly keep all information confidential about the shop that left your car unstartable. Don't worry. There are some changes before 4000 RPM, but the majority of the changes are after as that's where this engine really shines. Making changes too low in the rev range often causes knocking and other issues that I don't want people to experience. The file in your car is very similar to the one in mine, and has been track tested in extreme conditions on 3 different M3's with 300F oil temperatures and 105 degree weather. So rest assured it will continue to put a smile on your face moving forward, whether cruising down the street or beating down the track. Please post the dyno when you have a chance. Mike |

Great gains! Mike previously tuned my 2012 E92 M3 DCT and the results were phenomenal.
I just got the final version of the BPMSport Stage II tune on my X5M today and dynoed... 126 ft/lbs torque gain to the wheels. The car is now an insane beast. You can't even compare it to stock. It's like another turbo was added. I'm sure you're loving yours as much as I'm loving mine! |

Good pick up. We use metric over here, you use ft lb the dyno is newton meter. Roughly 1.35 correction factor.
