BRISBANE tuning place: Bayside Performance Service
I came across this tuning shop online and they are Brisbane based and specialise with the N54.
Here's the site: http://www.bpschiptek.com/ and here's a dyno from their tune: http://www.bpschiptek.com/news/?fuse...&id=54&ct_id=0 Gains are 225kw to 267kw and 400nm to 490nm. What does everyone think and has anybody had any experience with BPS? |

250kW at the wheel at low boost???
That seems to be a flash tune... it sounds impressive.

They offer a reflash tune for $2400. The one above is $2200. But DMS offer several advantages. - tune is undetectable - warranty is offered in the event the tune causes a problem which BMW do not/will not cover - 270kw at the crank, 500nm I am seriously considering going this way as peace of mind is what I am looking for as well as the power gains. |

+1. I agree that the claimed gain at the wheels seems a bit high. Almost un - believable.
The average transmission losses are approximately 80%. So if you apply that figure to their claimed at the wheels dyno then we are talking about a car with approx 314kw??? I find that hard to believe. |

I managed to find the old thread about the DMS tune which shows Orlin's dyno after he had the dyno tune done. Only managed 210kw at the wheel. Here's the link for anyone interested: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...=254268&page=2 Really 158rwkw? This can't be right. I thought our cars were about 198rwkw stock! |

I think the major advantage Bayside Performance Service has over DMS is that it is a custom tune using a dyno. I am assuming that they would create a tune based on your cars current mods whereas the DMS tune is via the internet and designed for a stock car.

DMS informed me that they would off load the software off our car and send that to DMS in the UK, who would then send out a tune based on that.

All these KW figures & comparisons are somewhat meaningless. Under the same conditions different dynos will give different readings. Mattyv's car gave out about 198kw stock on a Toowoomba dyno. This sounds impressive but on a different dyno at a different; elevation, atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity etc the result would be different. Zuzu's 158kw measured car may well be more powerful tham Matt's but you'd need to measure them at the same time on the same dyno to check this out.

Why would you even BOTHER with custom tunes and all the dicking around when you can get the JB3, tried, tested and it works extremely well for half the cost.
Seems like a no brainer. |

For me warranty is important and so DMS may be a good alternative as they offer insurance on their work, and if BMW decide to bring out the performance upgrade that would also be an option for me. The cost of having a warranty or insurance does not bother me, the cost of replacing a blown engine/turbo out of my own pocket does. Also there have been many posts/debate on this piggyback vs ECU tune etc and somehow I don't feel comfortable with a device 'tricking' the ECU into believing that something else is happening - only time will tell if this will present a problem. Whereas an ECU tune gives you far greater control of all engine parameters rather than just turning up the boost. |

Dicking around? all i did was simply upgrade the chip to the latest and now i can switch maps from inside the car. You dont need to touch it. You leave it there...
You have a warranty? backed by who? Will they honestly replace your engine if it blows up? I HIGHLY doubt it. You mentioned its not invisable, so BMW will see it and tell you they wont warrant any claims. You're opening a huge can of worms by doing this with your car. Just be wary! I personally wouldnt want some mug tuning my car, JB has been developing this for over a year, with thousands and thousands of cars, altitudes, feedback, forum development. I wouldnt trust ANYTHING else. |

Oh ja, that's more like it! I know I'm going to head down the JB3 path most likely, even though it's going to be more messing around I trust and believe the outcomes will be better. And cheaper. Win win. |
