I've had it pass in as little as about 35 miles of highway driving but aim for 50. Get in the car, let it do a full cold start cycle (150 sec), cruise at highway speeds (bmw literature says 60mph but I do 75), then let it idle for a couple minutes before shutting off.

Tune Install Questions...
Anyone have experience installing Alpine tune with a MacBook Pro running a PC virtual machine [Win 10 Pro]?

Did it with my 2011 macbook pro.... granted that it had an SSD in it with 8GB of RAM. Went well. He will give you a preloaded VM to run along with the program needed or you can just run your own VM and install/run the tuning program.

I chose to buy Parallels; however, they offer full feature free trial as well AND there's a totally free open source Oracle solution [VirtualBox]...not as 'slick', yet fully functional.

Think my 2011 Macbook Pro is still running off of El Capitan. I did switch to using VirtualBox since VMware stopped working due to the trial. Didnt wanna use my 2018 Macbook since I would have to use a usb adapter *wack*.

Unfortunately, I had to abandon the Alpine tune due to recurring pre-detonation issues. Sucks but such is life. Cheers,

With the thread on the lower end bogging coupled with your thread on pre detonation the problem was resolved with test group 16 some confirming 100% or 99% gone. This was last month. Give a new map a try, worst case you flash back to your other configuration. The problem was the vanos struggling on the bottom end, it wasn't pre detonation and that was the reason I was not able to pin point it. Once the bogging thread came into light the problem was pin pointed and figured out. |

Hypothetically, If I have a stage 2 tune map flashed and I use winkfp to flash 241E DME update, will that overwrite the MAP with the stock MAP? As far as i understand, i already updated to the latest 241e software using the "flash first" map and that flashing the "flash first" is the stock tune, however, i am curious if flashing with winkfp and a dat file will do the same thing.

Have there been any recent updates on the Stage 2 motor tune file as well as the GTS DCT flash file? Going to switch back to stage 2 after smogging the car and I am inquiring about any recent tune updates.

Any reviews/testimony of the e85 tune? Significant difference in power, drivability, etc? I'm running stage 2 currently but kind of want an extra little kick. I've experience the night and day difference of e85 in a 335 but curious what it will do for a N/A car. Seems like there is very little info anywhere on e9x m3's running e85 in general.

I have the E85 stage 2 tune and there's a notable bump in power over 91 octane stage 2. It's worth the upgrade assuming you have easy access to E85 because you will be filling up more often.
