When is enough enough?

[Rekraps]

So, I've now owned four 1M's, two of which have had a tune, both being ECS tunes. My current AW 1M has a Dinan stage II, and I've spent the last week running the car on Sport mode, MDM off.

Here's what I've found.

That is enough. The car chirps in first through third, by which time I'm well over 100mph. Car pulls like a horse in all RPM ranges and the rear end pulls out if you are not careful. FAST ENOUGH!

The car is a monster with the tune and certainly as fast as anyone would want or need for non-track driving. Nothing so far, but a Vette has been able to even keep up. (the Vette is faster) And yet, even with this HP & Torque, the car handles like a gem.... I just love it.

This 14 year old BMW, probably the best M car ever made is, in my opinion, at its most glorious peak of performance with just a Stage II tune.

Oh, and BTW, the AW is the best color.

Did you ever do a dyno with the tunes?

[Rekraps]

No, I use my natural internal G-force meter to compare.

On 93 octane in south Florida hot humid weather

Thanks for the post!

Great point about MDM and Sport mode. Using both in combination with a tune extracts the most from the machine.

The car is a monster with a tune. Also keen to hear if you've done a dyno run since the tune

[Rekraps]

I have not. However I can feel the difference all day long!

Can you list the parts on this car to achieve these numbers?

[zayzay]

Sorry to much to list, but everything possible, I have stock turbos, that is probably the only aftermarket I don’t have. Here are some photos

What a great looking car! I love it. How many miles? Daily driver?

[zayzay]

13,000 miles, not a daily

I was actually going to attend bimmerinvasion, they were putting me in the VIP section

[Rekraps]

As they should. VO is just gorgeous. A bit slower than AW, but gorgeous nontheless.

I'll be at the BMWCCA booth with my BSM 1M, ask for Damian.

How many miles on yours?

I just broke 4000 this week. It's heavy pollen season so the car stays under wraps for a few weeks.
