Was thinking it could be adaptations or something to do with the car getting used to the coding. Or it's just nothing and just in my head.

Lastly, should I do anything routinely, such as clearing adaptions or anything to insure the best performance/engine health? Apologies for the potentially dumb questions.

i mean if you press the power button you feel the slight jolt forward lol.

You need to do as his instruction say exactly. Don't ask for a time or give options, tell him the exact date and time (pacific) you want and he will confirm it.

"Send me a desired time you wish to be coded in PST (from Monday-Friday8am-6pm PST to*alex@alpinemss.com. You must be in your vehicle connected to your Internet connection setup before that time please"

My butt dyno tells me usually 125-150 miles after the tune and you feel the peak change the most and it stays that way. Running test pipes/no cats/high flow cats and tune is a noticeable difference so you should feel it. Just keep driving the car and the adaptations change on their own.

Yah, I remember when I first went catless, you could feel all the low end torque gone. Then I got home and put on the Stage 2 tune, and after a while it didn't feel slow anymore

Just got done flashing my stage 1 93 octane tune, and I have to say I'm profoundly impressed. The car feels awesome, with a significant bump in "around town" power. It's also smoother, and actually improved my 1-2 shift (6mt) a fair bit...probably just due to being less flaky in terms of down low power. I'm sure I'll be even happier after the 125-150 mile DME adaptation period.

It's been said a million times, but I'll make it a million and one...Alex's service has been top-notch and incredibly fast. I'm officially a super happy customer.

How can i get the GTS DCT tune?

wfdeacon88 · 07-06-2019, 08:49 AM

If I already have the ECU tune, how much is it to add the GTS DCT tune?

Bmw doubles · 07-06-2019, 10:54 AM

No disrespect Alex you've flashed 2 of my cars and it's all been great. Question about the flash tune for the e9x M3. Will it pass smog and if not can you return to stock and then flash back after the inspection?

You should always be stock for inspections.

wyatth · 07-06-2019, 10:02 PM

Even stage 1 should revert to stock map for inspection?

Go to his website and order it. What kind of question is this?

frappiculo · 07-08-2019, 07:56 PM

Guys I just received my tune cables and instructions today and tuned the car easily within 10-12 minutes and that was it. Alex is an amazing guy he answered all of my stupid questions and he is again an amazing person!

To be able to have two different maps for that price and the customer service that I get is 100% satisfied.

Thank you Alex!

Just flew right through emissions (in TN) on a stage 1 and factory cats this morning. No problem at all.

My friend was going to schedule a time to get his tuned flashed on but I ended up doing it for him.

He likes it so far.

atranho · 07-13-2019, 11:35 PM
