Interesting story of a shop based out of WA.

not a good look. perhaps 22RPD is more familiar with other bmw platforms; just not the S65. Simple searches on here will tell you that you CANNOT plug tunes from another car and vice versa.

I actually considered potentially going there for a custom tune on my Harrop charged S65 but was waiting for someone else to be the guinea pig. Kinda glad I didn't.

Not defending anyone, but honestly I've had mixed experiences with most garages that I've dealt with here in PNW and when I lived in PHL. The good ones kept my business because they made it right, whatever the failure was. Even when I've had great experiences at a garage, I hear an opposite story or see a bad review posted in a forum. Bottom line is that people make mistakes, even at the dealers.
FWIW, I was at 22RPD earlier this year, Zack tuned the original S50 (NA) in my E36 which had a very old Turner/Conforti tune. He squeezed out another 22hp (corrected) and the car is still running great on track. I talked to him recently about my E92 (NA), he didn't sound enthused to do it, now I think I know why. Good for him to recognize limitations. BTW, the reason I need help with the E92 is because the BPM Sport tune is not doing well. Ironic huh? Mike at BPM has been responsive mostly, so I think it will eventually get sorted.

Honestly numbers will vary between dyno machines. I believe this is where youre seeing the difference in HP. Could be wrong though. I have been searching around the forums and have seen stock dyno numbers as low as 318. Let me know what you come up with!

i think the issue is more around the tuner not knowing that you cant flash tunes from other cars. not so much the numbers that he ended up putting down

Oh jamba I was talking about his HP numbers from the BPM stage II tune. Separate topic from the shop tuning a different car haha.
