ECU tune in Europe?

Does anyone here have first hand experience with a reputable garage that knows how to dismantle an entire M2 engine bay, flash the ecu & re-install everything like stock? Anywhere in Europe, really

Full price (labour+tune) too if possible,

Cheers

What part of Europe?

We have a few dealers around the country, with our primary
distributor being Regal Autosport in Southampton, UK.

Don?t go to Regal in Southampton, bunch of jokers! I enquiries about the HEX tune, went to see them and after speaking to them would not let them near my neighbours car.

I have on the other hand had very positive conversations with BR in Belgium. I would happily make the road trip to them & fill up with good beer on my way home

VF-Engineering Regal has mixed reviews, not too comfortable with 'em... Wish you had someone else in Europe

dannyvdberg Website looks good, media content too. Can't find many reviews. You got any price's?

An excellent option is DTE in Germany (they produce Remus Powerizer)

I have their module on my MT M2 and very happy! Noticeable power gains and excellent driveability

lol, I think you bought a rebranded racechip

Not sure if a piggyback will be very smooth on the M2 though. Looking more for a flash tune right now

No, Racechip is another brand- Remus Powerizer is rebranded DTE

The car feels very smooth- AC Schnitzer and G Power also offer piggybacks. As they are top tuners in Germany, this gave me confidence

If you put more attention to the video, you will see 100-200 kms runs- Before and after module- Numbers speak for themselves

I contacted 2 other members in these forums that run the same module before going this route

Just sharing my experience and happy with my car !

The most famous ECU tuner in IT is Biesseracing. They already did many M2, every single car tuned on dyno. Two different way, module (+-1000 Euro) or ecu reprogramming (1300-1500 Euro).

E92M3GT Hmm will definitely consider then. Also, I really like and trust both ACS and GP but unfortunately they force you to buy their 2-3 year warranty which increases the price by 200-300%.

marcusfva I contacted them a while back and they offered a 800 piggyback solution. Media content looks legit but then again I feel like most higher end piggyback's are programmed to do the same or very similar things

Price for only ECU tuning would be probably around €900,- with a run before and after the tuning. I can really recommend them! I guess they have already done like 30 a 40 M2's...

We own a M2 and have tuned many N55's (M235i, M2 ,M135i) ECU/Locations are the same across the board on these.

I am sure you can find someone on mainland Europe/Closer to you that could do a competent job though unless you fancy a long drive

I've done the trip last year in one go, it never ended

Typically how long does it take from the moment they leave you the car keys and the car is ready to go?

I say go with BM3. Dealers and tuners in many locations, their OTS maps are amazing and features and support are unbeatable.
