Alex, Email order sent.

DasboostF80 · 01-30-2019, 09:59 AM

Ordered mine today!! Cant wait.

HolyChitMeng · 02-06-2019, 07:16 PM

Just posted my review... if you're looking for a tune look no further. The burbles Alex has on the map on my car is crazy, it sounds like I'm dropping mario kart turtles out the back

Sound track? Videos ?

Guys, Alex was incredibly patient with me today. I think I should be more capable with a computer but I am not. He got me through the process and I got the euro mdm and a tune done today. As soon as I started the car I could tell a difference. The car started much smoother and idled very cleanly. I took the car for a ten mile run after the tune. Power was excellent, power was in places I wasn't used to and as smooth as butter. I am very impressed and anyone looking to make this mod please do not hesitate. I was unsure what to expect as I had f80 cars and ran jb4's, the power was significant after a jb4. This tune to the s65 is as significant in my opinion to a jb4 in a s55. I know the numbers aren't the same but the feel and what it did to the car was parallel. Thanks so much Alex!

Soon. I post very subpar in cabin videos on my IG Stories @holy_chit_meng
but I'm going to have people record it from outside as well as go pro videos. But trust me... it's loud. People literally bug out from the flames and burbles when they drive behind me.

You burble lovers can send in your map requests for the new burbles.

You can thank @HolyChitMeng he emailed me at least 50 times until I finally gave in. He ran many many test maps for many days until drivability was smooth.

I’ll have to request this map also with my order! Placed it yesterday and sent you a email

It took me a while to finally install this tune. I first purchased it back in October but just got around to installing it the right way tonight. I'm really liking the change from stock form. The car feels more alive, sounds better.

I originally had ghost codes regarding O2 sensors. So, I waited to have the issues fixed before installing the tune. And I just got around to changing the affected O2 sensors and installed the tune again. Not following the directions clearly laid out in the instructions, I had a hiccup. Reached out to Alex and he was there to help me. Took minutes to install correctly. I feel real silly bothering him.

I agree with many members who worked with Alex for tunes/coding. He is patient and his always there to help. I also got an extra tune when I realized I forgot to add a few features that I wanted. I'm very happy I got this tune. Just wish I got it sooner...

DanMpower · 02-09-2019, 12:13 AM

I feel like I repeated myself a few times but I've run Alex's tune on both my E92 M3's and my F80 M3 and it's hands down the best tune I've ever tried.

I purchased with my own money 2 other tunes (BM3 and OFT) for my F80 and Alex's tune beats them both.

If Alex offered a tune for my E39 M5 I'd jump on it in a heartbeat.

Which codes did you get? 2740 and 2741? I’m able to clear those and nothing functional is wrong, I do have new o2 sensors to install.

Hahahahaha, it was a fun time. The map I have is perfect for me.
Everyone requesting Videos, I just posted one.

I have crazier videos just have to upload them.

This is a true fact. Alex is amazing at what he does. I wouldn't go to anyone else.

fth001 · 02-09-2019, 04:34 PM

Alex just sent me a new map with your burble tune on it. It's crazy loud and I assume its shooting flames out the back because my diffuser has some burn marks on it. It's not melted, yet, but you can see some marks on it. I'll probably go back to my other map with the regular burble tune and just load this one on cruise or meet up days. Thanks guys

Hahahaha, nice to know you enjoy it. Heres another clip! If you're catless you're definitely shooting flames.

Maseroche · 02-10-2019, 12:35 AM

Had the tune, along with Active Autowerke Cat delete pipes, and so far I'm loving it. Opted for 93 Octane, Cold Start delete, Speed Limit delete and that's it. Starting to feel the difference in power and response.

I'm glad I went with this tune!

steezus · 02-10-2019, 08:11 AM

Hey HolyChitMeng, what RPM are you decelerating at? I was playing around after uploading the tune last night and I was trying to find the perfect sweet spot to get that. It's definitely louder pops and more random than the first burble tune.

For ideal burbles probably take it up to 7500-8000 and let it go. Sometimes a little massage of the throttle might give you a little more pops

I was letting off at around 6-7k. And then I would let it decel to 5 and then tap the gas. Then flames

I haven't hit redline or floored the car all the way yet.........

nate122 · 02-13-2019, 03:14 AM

I put the tune on today. A bit too much for me. Haha.
Going to load up the regular stage 2.
Oem axle back and full xpipe.

The burbles I can hear past 6500 rpm.
The loud pop on decel 4th gear around 2000 rpm is insane. Laughable because I'm just cruising in traffic.
I wish I knew at which rpm it would makes those loud pops . It's pretty unpredictable.
