Anyone try the new Gas Pedal Tuner from BMS yet?

Looks interesting, if it does what it says and would get rid of my seemingly inconsistent but consistently terrible throttle inputs I'd be very happy lol

There's a bunch of info on the inconsistent throttle issue and someone has a full write up on their fix. For me, going MHD stage 1 fixed 90% of the issues, I still get it time to time, but it no longer feels un-driveable in LA traffic. I've heard PPK also helps some people.

Mind sharing the write-up? I've searched many times on this issue

I could be wrong but I think he's referring to the DCT issues that many have complained about but doesn't apply to you since you have a 6-speed manual.

Apologies because I rarely ever post, but at one point I was plagued with throttle lag. Have since done the PPK, and gone FBO with stage 2+ MHD, and it is no longer an issue. After the PPK, the throttle issue was not consistent, I'd catch it maybe every three or four drive cycles. After I flashed MHD, I have not noticed it. I also flashed the linear throttle, which helps out a lot as well. Matt, what are the odds of you getting your DME bench flashed? Might be worth looking into...

If I didn't have a warranty I'd bench flash it today!

I'm under warranty as well, but didn't have to bench flash mine. Dealer hasn't said a word about it.

Yeah, I didn't have to bench flash my '12, either, although I still revert to stock map when I take it in, just in case.

I wonder how this Gas Pedal Tuner differs from something like a SprintBooster?

Here's info regarding what car needs to be bench flashed or not:

Quote:

Vehicle equipped with a MEVD1726 DME (built dating from around 03-2012) need a one time DME removal and bench flash to allow OBD flashing.

Q: How can I determine if the DME is directly flashable or needs a one time bench flash?

A: go to http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/select and enter the last 7 digits of your VIN in serial number. Click Browse parts in the ENGINE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM and check both CONTROL UNITS > MEVD1726 section. If it says "No parts found matching your car," you have a MEVD172 which is directly flashable.

I know Matt has a 2013 so he doesn't need to check. He already knows he needs a bench flash. lol

Sadly I know all too well haha

I have the Sprint Booster in my car. Same thing only different. I quite like it. My car is on MHD stage 2+ with the linear throttle map. Coupled with the Sprint Booster set on sport my car is very responsive. My car is a 6 speed manual.

That's great to hear, hadn't heard of the Sprint Booster before either. May have to do some more research into these options
