How can I tune a M2 (F87)???

Azad · 03-02-2018, 05:44 AM

Hi Guys!

I got an M2 a few weeks ago and a am fairly new to the bimmer club so I thought I'll see if anyone can give me some good tips and guidance regarding trim and what tunes to do with it. I wanna play around with the car as a project over the upcoming summer so I'm trying to learn as much as possible!

All tips are much appreciated. Peace

The treble and bass controls are accessed via iDrive. Hope this helps.

M2 is no good a tuning platform for a N55 to begin with. If you never tune a modern bmw turbocharged engine and have to do it, start with JB4. It offers 24/7 easy access to datalog without needing anything other than your cell phone, nothing else can match. Reading datalog is essential part from beginning to the end and the first thing to study. You must know meaning of everything shown there and why and how it should be. When you know well enough and tweak various parameters and remove one power/drivability restriction after another and finally find limits with piggyback. Move on to proper flash tune.

WinOLs is for true tuners and MHD as a platform is wide open for everyone, while BM3 is ahead in definitive table editor which is more noob friendly.

I don't think you would go this far because if you were, you would've played with MHD which has been there with E platform for many years. Good luck!

Upgrade the turbo, intercooler, and downpipe.

Get a quality flash tune or Dinan stage 4 if you're a warranty pussy like myself.

Nah, but I Sean WRT is right. So is Stage IV. Go with Stage IV if you want warranty, go with SeanWRT if you want to be completely customizable in terms of mods.
