Op,

We were one of the first to purchase an e90 m3 10 years and we have been dyno tuning them for just as long. We have tuned 100's of these cars since our tune was released and have gone through many updates since to get our tune where it is today. You can be assured you are getting the best tune available for this platform.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Is it possible to define "the best"? Looks like your tune is priced very well at 650$. But what differentiates it from other tunes?

Can AA provide the GTS DCT software, or any tune for Servo or the Euro MDM?
I am sure the engine tune is as good as any, but one stop shopping for this other coding would make things easier.

I too have this tune and have nothing but good things to say about it. Can't go wrong. Dyno result also shows it runs a but rich up too which is good from a safety perspective too.

I was just going to say that!!! Runs rich, I wish I noticed that right away and had them adjust it... by the way I never got the dyno tune that they say they offer.. I wish tho

Andrew, how do I go about having you guys adjust the tune so it doesn't run so rich?

Cat overheat protection most likely.

Hey Andrew
I got the tune and love it! I have a problem though, i tracked this car few times a year and after the tune I notice my engine runs much hotter. I have never surpassed 100 degrees (a tad over middle) no matter how hard i run it, but after this tune, I am hitting three quarters hot. Is this ok for the engine longevity wise?
Thank you

Strange. I never had any temp issues at Mosport last summer with the AA tune.

Can someone from AA weigh in on this, and the running temp issue above?
Also comparing your stage 1 vs stage 2 tunes, is there any difference in the tune other than treatment of the O2 sensors?

Thanks!

i've had both my m3 E92 -2008 & E92 2010 as well as my 2011 X5m with AA tunes and had zero issues. the E92 is on its 8th year w/ the tune and x5m i got it 2 years ago not for power but to get rid of the cold start at the time for my new born. now that he's 2 and is used to other exhaust i may reflash with the cold start back on
