1M performance tuner?
Yah there might be a lot of these, but there is no answer. Does anyone know of any current performance tuners that work or will work in the next couple months (in production)?
Stats or HP gains would be great... So far JB4 is the only one that is in mind that might work but I do not know the HP/torque gain. Any help is appreciated!

Epic Motorsports is testing a tune since 2 weeks ago. I"hear" it is very smooth and made the car feel noticeably slower when put back to stock. Dyno results aren't available yet.
Epic has been involved in engine building and software tuning for multiple successful racecars and are now beginning to offer the same level of tuning to the street market. They are well known in BMW club racing circles.

To say "semantics" here would in normal useage suggest that actually you don't think there is any difference between the two and it's just a pointless discussion over the meaning of some of the words. Surely it's far from it. A piggyback is a compromise that, for various reasons, people are happy or forced to accept. It doesn't mean it doesn't provide a good solution and that they are not good products, but it doesn't make it the same as a full, on the ECU, tune.

On the other hand, a piggyback can do things that a flash tune can not do, such as advancing or retarding timing beyond the "stock" parameters, user adjustable gear and boost-related traction control, and full integration of meth injection. A discussion of the pros/cons of piggyback v. flashtune can be meaningful (and go on ad nauseum), but to proclaim that a piggyback does not constitute a tune is incorrect. Neil |

I said it isn't the same. I didn't say it isn't a tune.

ESS Tuning's Direct Flasher
I will be getting a prototype tune from ESS Tuning via their Direct Flasher this week. There will be different stages from what I understand. Similar to the tune that I had on my previous 135i, which had a stage 1, 2 and a 2+ for higher octane.
I can't wait to get even more power out of this fantastic little rocket!
