I waited a year before getting this tune thinking it would not make that much difference. I must say the 3 weeks I have had this tune I am very impressed! It is worth every penny. I does give more power down low in city driving.

I also didn't get the Euro MDM. Does this get selected only in M mode? I would love to have dynamic mode for everyday driving the Euro MDM on during the M mode. |

Traction control system on the e9X M3 is more sophisticated then my basic outline above, much more factors take into play but that is the basic idea. I can't say the word "aggressive" applies, maybe you can say US MDM is more aggressive applying traction control and Euro is less aggressive. Euro MDM does not mean more power, and is not a plus for everyone. You have more chance of crashing with Euro MDM vs US MDM. Some less experienced drivers will opt for US. It is just preference, had a track guy who felt US MDM was intrusive and did not want to fully turn off traction control so he selected Euro MDM and was able to increase his track time. Had another customer who did canyon runs every weekend and immediately returned the following week to go back to US MDM, felt Euro was dangerous for his driving conditions and skills. Hope that helps |

Thanks, Alex. All clear on MDM differences. I was confused by the quote above me, “I would love to have dynamic mode for everyday driving [but] the Euro MDM on during the M mode.” It doesn’t seem accurate to describe one as dynamic (US) and the other as not, but now I see what he was asking for and there’s some logic to it.

Just did Alex's tune last night. Definitely day and night. The dude is awesome, couldn't make this any easier to do. Loving the lower and mid torque, stiffened servo, and vice versa. Idk why I havent dont this earlier...

We're you able to complete the remap on your own or did he remote into your laptop?

I did it on my own, but i had a question or two and he answered almost instantly (gave me his # via email). Honestly the instructions were so clear and concise, a 5th grader could do it.

Alex set me up where I didnt need a network for him to remote in. Once the program and maps are installed on your computer, all you need to do is make sure the laptop is charged and car battery is charged (a good drive should do). Follow per instructions, It takes 20 minutes at most, if that. If i feel like i wanna switch maps at a meet, i can pull out my laptop and do it there on the spot. Its a really great tune and the dude is awesome. He's going to do my Euro MDM this monday. Stoked.

So as a reference
Red is my stage 1 file on 92 octane-BMC intake filter, primary cats still on, 2ndaries and resonators deleted, iPE valved muffler, 8600 rev limit Blue is stage 2, everything the same as above except rogue engineering test pipes and on stock rev limiter, new spark plugs (tune has been running for 200 miles before this dyno) All on one pull reads since it’s expensive for one pull here. All up to 5th gear Heat soak sucks even with a big ass fan even for +6HP gain, it would probably be more if it were cooler and I had the file with 8600 rev limit but until I do RB service, it’ll stay on stock rev limit. I do not use burble files. But this isn’t the end for this stage 2 file. Last edited by Route 16; 08-16-2018 at 09:37 AM.. |

Um, aren't those stock numbers? That is concerning. Even so, I though the stage 2 and test pipes would be a much larger increase than 6hp. |

+6HP from stage 1 to stage 2, yeah it is small but from my stock dyno pull at 318...to 348...+30HP jump, I'm ok with and again consider heat soak, warmer weather, rev limiter back to stock...I uploaded an updated stage 2 file last night at home so we'll see what that makes later on |
