We don't race in the same category . There's no way I would beat you in a straight line with a manual.

Maybe so, but it's always interesting to see by how much in real world terms these things add. Also, in gear acceleration is what will really tell the story (to take out the auto/manual difference).

That's true, but I wouldn't under-estimate the difference that the 1M's light DMFW makes. It completely changes the responsiveness of the engine.

Does anyone know if the 1M's 19" wheels weigh more/less than the 261 18" wheels?

A few of us have experienced the N54 for years and the limits/thresholds are very well known now, no matter which car they put it in (335i, Z4 etc). I would say they weigh a fair bit lighter Richard. Our stock wheels are heavy! |

the dual mass fly wheel makes a highly tuned motor drivable unlike a standard n54 with a jb4 which is like using a trigger nozzle on a garden hose. it definately makes the car faster and nicer to drive, but it doesn't make it a huge amount faster like a tune or exhaust could.
ESS is kinda tempting as sparoz has said its so smooth |

As for the wheels, they can't be 'that' much lighter being 19's? And the lighter flywheel should help with response, not so much power. |

Good write up Sparoz and congrats on being an early 1M beta tester. I noticed that you mentioned fuel consumption - One thing I have noticed between my 1M and my 335i ( and no I am not pcockley in disguise ) is that the fuel consumption was markedly different. Firstly, my 335i went from an 11.1 av' to a tuned 12.3 av. BUT... on a trip, i.e. freeway drive, I could get as low as 6.8 av. Now, my 1M is averaging 13.1 BUT... on a trip the best I can get down to is low 9s. Maybe it's the aerodynamics but I suspect that the 1M is already in a highish state of tune hence the subtle only differences you mentioned.
I also think that the factory rating of 250kw is quite understated. Just going by seat of the pants feel between a tuned 335 and the stock 1M. BTW whomever said it... the M button does not increase torque, just throttle response. Also, since I'm blathering on, my 335 went from 225 kw to 288kw with the tune ( unverified ) but it was at the expense of throttle response to the extent that it was actually a far more responsive car without the tune. So more is sometimes less. Whew! |

Chappy's 335i dynoed 230ish kw, so 10kw over the 1M. But it's also heavier. So I would probably give the edge to the 1M there so your butt dyno is spot on, but there wouldn't be much in it. |

Does the ESS tune retain the 1M's overboost function?
Since the difference between the N54 in the 1M and 135i is mainly software, does the ESS tune work on a 135i?

No. Apparently it doesn't throw codes either.

I was going to get the Cobb as well because it also do data logging. However, initial review is it adds a lot more power than the others, by delaying timing - that almost certainly means less response time. That's why I am no longer interested in it. Will get BT cable for logging. Will also look at aim solo dl - just need someone to install it into the Canbus. Quote:
It certainly feels that it has an overboost on top of the overboost. ESS has a 135i tune as well (stage 1 and 2), but the 1M tune i believe is similar if not the same as the Z4is and 335is tune. The 1M is sort of equivalent to the 135i stage 2 tune, but without the need of fmic.
