When a tuner says he will post a dyno "later today", but then no post is forthcoming for almost 3 weeks, it's probably safe to assume that the dyno charts do not look like he wants them to look. That has happened more than once on this board, with more than one tuner.

Could be they are busy?

Many people are considering full tunes and everyone is anxious to see solid results from all options out there so I would think they want to throw numbers out there and convince people why pick their tuning option over other current offerings.

Sorry for the delay everyone. On top of installing a new dyno PC, we've been extremely busy in the work shop. No excuse for tardiness, but here is the dyno comparison. The tuned car did also have our downpipe and intercooler installed.

We aren't here to compete with other tuners for peak HP. The N55 in the M2 cannot produce 400whp reliably with the stock fuel system time after time, we've been through enough drivetrain malfunctions to know that for a fact. If you can keep the temps down and the timing up the car will be happy lap after lap.

The tune we are selling for the M2 is designed to produce clean, reliable power for a car with the stock turbo and fuel system.

Another reason why I'm a fan of AA. You guys focus on long term performance with all scenarios taken into consideration. No one hit wonders. I notice you guys sometime put out later in the game, however, it always takes time to innovate instead of pushing the same products as other companies.

I'll be investing in your entire line of products as soon as my warranty expires.

So how do we figure out how much of the delta is the tune, and how much is the DP and IC? No offense, but that seems like putting a finger on the scales, doesn't it? How is that a true A/B comparison?

Bruce,

All the delta is in the tune. DP and IC work in their own ways to make the tune-set load target achievable.

This is basically why stock tune sees little gains up top with most of bolt-ons.

I get that, up top. But in the mid to upper range, the delta is still a function of at least the DP, it seems to me, because just the DP on a stock car will still improve the mid-range....

Just got my AA tune installed a few hours ago and it's a pure animal. Amazing torque and high end. So quick and added burble maps definitely take my M2 to another level. Nothing negative to say and all positive. Thank you David and the team for killing it again !!!!!

Do you have any other mods?

Our M2 has seen dozens of track days and after extensive R&D we've settled on a final tune that we believe will produce the most consistent and reliable power lap after lap without falling off or causing any drivetrain malfunctions. Being in Miami, we see some of the hottest and most humid temps in the country!

Approaching the 400whp mark has caused fueling issues with the stock fuel system and adding any more torque down low will cause power levels to drop up top when temps rise. We've been able to extract ~415 lb/ft of torque and ~378whp lap after lap without any problems. When we bumped up the torque to ~430 lb/ft the car would make inconsistent power at higher RPMs due to varied ignition timing and throttle opening. Increasing the power to 400whp led to drivetrain malfunctions caused by lowered fuel pressure.

Our ECU reflash corrects the leaner stock AFR ratio allowing us to increase boost safely and reliably. We lower the AFR sooner and more significantly compared to the stock curve to promote consistent power lap after lap. Piggyback units do not modify the AFR and thus have not proven to provide consistent performance during extended use.

Key Features:

Horsepower and torque gains throughout the entire RPM band
Recalibrated settings for a smoother and more responsive part throttle transition
Recalibrated settings for a smoother and more responsive power delivery
Modified Vanos camshaft remapping
Available "Burble" Maps
Free tech support and assistance
Multiple maps available for flashing at home (after initial reflash)

Available Options:

Cold start delete
Off Road Only Downpipe Map
Burble Option
Tuner flag removal
OBD Flashing Option

All ECU's must be removed and sent to us for the initial reflash. Customers will have an option to purchase a Simon 3 cable from us that will allow them to reflash different maps at their convenience after the first initial flash is done at Active Autowerke. The purchase of our Simon 3 cable will also include (4) custom maps set to the customer's preference.


Please feel free to post any questions or concerns in this thread!


Dyno: M2 with AA Track Flash, Complete AA Exhaust, and AA Intercooler






Hope you guys are all well after Irma. Can't wait for you to open shop. Need to ask you some questions about this, let me know when you are back up and running!

We still don't have full power back after the storm but if you have any specific questions please PM me. Are you local?

EDIT: Noticed your location is IL. We are currently still able to do software tuning so if you send us the DME we can flash it and get it back out to you asap!

Does your M2 tune address the power delay after shifting with the 6MT?

No we have not yet messed with the anti-lag settings. This was programmed in by BMW, if you are at WOT and shift above 6k rpm you'll notice that there is no lag. We may try and adjust this in the future but our current tuning does not make any changes to this feature.

Sorry about that, but we had our power restored last night so our phones are up and running again. Feel free to give me a call anytime today!
