Boost on these cars is controlled by requested load. 2) Is DCT shifting strategy changed? If not, can you do that? Shifting at 6500rpm would be the best for accelaration with a tune that cranks up boost early on like yours at least from the dyno posted. Even on stock tune, m2 is proven to be quicker with earlier shifts by our mutiple real world tests. Unfortunitely DCT likes upshifting above 7000rpm at WOT.
3) Does m2 stock burble remain intact or is it changed to GTS style? We do increase the amount of overrun for the M2 with our software. 4) What's the AFR above 5500rpm? Concern is the stress on stock weak HPFP. This is typically not information that we post publicly, but we also understand the 5) Does the catalyst heating circle on startup remain intact or is it removed like BM3? We do not eliminate or turn off any emissions control functions with any of our 6) I am assuming your tune is customizeable? What is the additional cost for a custom update on top of OTS? Our tunes are actually not customizable. |

1) Nobody uses Uncorrected on bmw rather n55, can you please provide SAE or STD correction factor.
Plenty of people use Uncorrected dyno plots; the problem is that plenty of people also use 2) Where is the baseline of same day with DP, since you posted UNCORRECTED CF? Same car, same fuel quality, same dyno = same baseline should be adequate. 3) Can we know if this car is DCT or 6mt, and what gear was the dyno? DCT - 5th Gear |

Here we go:
Stage 2 HEX Tune, Fabspeed Catted DP, Wagner Evo 1 Comp FMIC. What a difference! Had the simple Dinan sport tune on Race mode previously. While it made good low end torque the thing was a bit of a disappointment up top. Jerky acceleration, didnt feel OEM by any stretch. Flash forward (you see what I did there) to Ben and Rogue Engineering setting me up Monday. Bens worked on my M cars going on 15yrs, first with my LTW way back when. Theres nothing to say but that they are the best BMW shop in my immediate area and surly well beyond. Easy install and now I have a dongle so can now switch or update maps as I please. From a driving perspective, things feel VERY stock. Finally the HP gains up top are really there. It builds very nicely to 6K+ then flattens out to redline just as the graph shows. Its a monster down low too. In sport + the TC is now very intrusive. To get a real feel for the power you need to go into DSC off. The full unbridled power comes through and the chassis really moves around now. Its gone from perfectly balanced to perfectly entertaining....... Great product at a great price point. Will try to get a dyno going of my own with this setup shortly. Thanks guys! |

They have 2WD Dynojet, my friends were there yesterday, dyno reads proper compared to other un-calibrated dynojet in the area.

The tune is the real deal for the M2. Very satisfied finally. Thanks VF.

Weren't you HUGELY advocating for the Sport tuner for the last few months? I believe you said it was the perfect setup. Now it's a disappointment?

For the cheapness of the sport tune, coupled with the amount of low end torque it makes and the fact you dont need to unlock the ECU made it a perfect setup for what I was looking for. I took the next step and the full tune is just head and shoulders above the last setup. Now there is real top end power too. Much stronger. I still loved my other setup, but it didn't feel like this. |

I've seen a couple of other BM3/M2 dynos/cars; so far they have the upper hand in my vote.

I really wish VF would develop a tune supporting all the bolt-ons as well as a larger turbo. AFAIK, there are only 2 "big turbo" options for the M2 at this point: Dinan & Pure. It would be extra cool if VF developed their own big turbo

Well, I've still got a few years before the BMW warranty expires. I'm pretty confident that some better turbo options will appear in that time. Who knows, VF might actually develop something by then. I had VF's supercharger kit & tune on my e36, and it was fantastic. I'm looking forward to seeing their hex-tune dyno numbers, and hearing more feedback from their M2 customers.
