BPMSport Review

About 10 days ago I purchased the M3 performance tune ( http://www.bpmsport.com/services/tun...bpm-e9x-m.html ).

I am by no means a car fanatic. I will try to describe the differences I noticed in simple mans speak, as that is all I know

A) Idle smoothed out completely. I noticed the car does this sort of:

1000rpm, 1 second, 800rpm, 1 second, 600rpm, stays here thing. Kind of like gradually dropping to where it should be.

B) The car generally has the a "oil has just been changed" feel to it. Except oil was changed about 3K km ago.

C) As many have stated before, there is very noticeable increase in the throttle response in the higher rpm range. Once I cross about 3000-3500rpm, the hand of god is pushing me at the ass.

D) Cold start delete -> Works 100% as advertised. The secondary air pump is no longer activated on cold start.

E) Cold start rpm limiting -> Works 100% as advertised. By the looks of it there is a "2 prong" approach to this. First one is 0C to 75C, then the rpm limit goes up, but not 100%, then there is another step somewhere between 75C and somewhere under 100C. (Mike : Correct?).

F) Top speed limiter removal -> Works 100% as advertised. Enough said!

G) Dealing with Mike was 100% flawless. There was a bit of a delay only because I ordered the Sunday before Memorial day, so my package went out on the Tuesday.

In the name of fairness, my car had 50E prior to the update. The 50E to 240E was actually one of the main reasons I purchased the tune. Before going to bpmsport tune I had asked 2 shops about upgrading my DME... Neither one of them wanted to touch it. My car has a CIC retrofitted so going the ISTA route was out of the question as the software wont allow them to update the car. Knowing that Mike had a fully custom solution (his own cable, his own software) I decided to go with his solution. Worked flawlessly.

So for me, the tune did everything I expected.

Really good experience here. Infact I switched to Mike from another vendor just for the customer service. He is pretty much available anytime.

I have to echo the same sentiments. Mike @ BPM helped me tirelessly on all occasions from installing, troubleshooting, de-tuning, and re-tuning my car. It was throwing all sorts of crazy codes with cylinder 5-8 misfire, throttle actuator errors, and within literally 5 seconds flat, Mike isolated the issue down to the O2 sensor. Brought the car into the dealership (under warranty) and took it to 2 dealers and 2 weeks to figure out the issue, oh and $400 short.

I can't thank Mike enough for his support. Sometimes I wonder if there are clones of Mike running around or perhaps a call center b/c it's impossible how anyone can roll out exceptional customer service regardless you being a new or existing customer.

Thank you Mike!

Search the Dyno Database. Type "BPM" in the search window.

A dealer may not be the best place to find unbiased results! Look at what they have posted. They list the mods as:
AA Green Filter, Turner Test Pipes, BPM Stage-2 Tune.


But compare that to the actual Dyno Database entry. The real mods are as follows: AA Green Filter, Both CAT Delete, Turner Test/Cross Pipe, Megan Axle Back Exhaust, BPM Stage-2 Tune.

Thanks everyone for the comments. We're thrilled you're enjoying the software and will continue to provide you the best support, whether you are a new or existing customer.

Here are a couple charts and the corresponding exhaust mods and octane):
(First one my car w/ full Full Akra (91) , Second one Catless Car in Australia (98 RON), Third one stock exhaust (93):

Blue line on first chart is a bone stock M3 on same dyno.
Second dyno is before/after tune - so you will not see any gain from the cat removal on the chart.
