I talked to Imran long enough to hear that they're still working on the latest round of changes to their mapping file. In hindsight, I wish I had hit up Evolve sooner than I did. Who'd have thought that they'd be busy while BMW releases their next gen cars...?

I even offered to dyno on my time and money. But whatever....I'm done complaining. In the end, regardless of what dyno results are they are meaningless until compared against other tunes on the same dyno and same conditions. |

Even if Evolve's tune comes to fruition, and let's say hypothetically it shows more gains than AA, the difference will probably be marginal at best. I'd go with AA. |

Despite what Turner Motorsport and AA said, the tune DID change the exhaust note slightly, and for the better.

Mine is also 89 minimum according to the car manual that came with the car. 89 minimum, 91 recommended.

Well, I can't speak for the AA tune, but my revised OE tune for the stock N52 (standard manifold) pulled HARD, and felt like it made power everywhere over the stock tune. I'm a manual, so throttle response was not changed much, but power delivery was- much smoother, and you could feel it from the moment you stepped on the pedal. We aren't talking throttle sensitivity here either.
But with the 3stage manifold and tune - WOW. BIG difference. Hopefully I'll have a dyno in a week or two to show Pre-tune versus post tune numbers. It doesn't hurt that OE offers the tune for very competitive prices. |

For the record, my n52 says 91+ only and i normally use 93. However, during the gas crisis after hurricane sandy last year there was only 87 available and i ran that through it. No problems at all but i took it easy since I needed the MPG.
