1M ESS Tuning - teaser
I just received my 1M tune from ESS Tuning today and used their Direct Flasher to download it. The process is very simple and easy to follow. A cool feature is that I can flash the car back to stock within minutes. This is a nice option to have before a dealer visit if needed!
I have the production version of their 1M tune and it has significantly increased the power, according to my butt dyno. The power in the 1M in low rpm is very strong right out of the box, but with this tune it is stepped up slightly and then the power really comes on strong at 3000 and above. It now keeps you pinned in the seat all the way to redline!!! The power delivery feels more linear towards redline and pulls hard and fast up the hills by my house. It has only been installed for couple hours, so more review details to come and dyno numbers to come soon too!

Cool! So you tuned your own car and can detune it whenever you want to? Do you need special tools for it or can i anybody do this?

So what are you guys seeing on the dyno as the power and torque increases?

I will definitely keep everyone posted. Yes, this is the best option IMO, as I don't do piggybacks.
Yes, this is a must have for the 1M as it takes to another level. Quote:

Similar as it plugs into the OBDII port and then you can upload/download files to and from the car. That is as much as I know as I have no experience with the Cobb AP. Quote:

One thing I did not like about the DINAN flash on my M3 was that you kept hearing how the dealership would accidentally re-flash and clear the software upgrade during routine services. This option gives you control over the flash rather than being at the mercy of the dealerships.

As great as it all sounds, I will not be jumping on the tune bandwagon anytime soon with my 1M. Power doesn't appear to be an issue with the 1M. Also would like to see a bit more R&D before applying 3rd party software to my 50k BMW.

It's all considered when ESS creates the tuned file for your car. The existing features of the stock car are maintained, example the "M" button. If you need more technical explanations then I'm sure ESS can directly answer your questions.

Yes true, the 1M is not lacking any power, but if the tune bumps the hp above 4k and keeps the curve strong till the 7k redline(rather than the stock hp profile that drops of at 6k), I'll be very interested!

Our new 1M software is rated at 400 HP. The vehicle retains 100% of its OEM functions with our tune and can be flashed back to stock via Direct Flash at anytime. |

Nice!! This is very exciting. It seems like a lot of tuners are really trying to work their magic to release their remaps!
I'd really be interested to see the comparison between power delivery of stock and tuned. Thanks for sharing!
