RKTune or Enzo Tune? Which is better

Can anyone shed light on which tune is better. I am looking for a custom tune done on a dyno not something OTS

Cant speak for RKtune, but i have an enzo map and love it. drivability is great and enzo is great with support and making adjustments if/when you need. i would highly recommend enzo!

Enzo seems great from what I hear. Go with bm3 and get enzo to dial in a custom map, win win.

Rk-tunes is about half the cost of a enzo tune gains are better enzo has been around longer and if you want to us bm3 so you can log etc then enzo is better for you i have rk tune on my 535 which is n55 also im not a big tweaker and stuff so cost and bang for buck rk tunes was for me but each person has their own opinion

I'd agree With FSociety... Enzo for sure Hands down.. he has Tuned me F30 and the Power Curve was Amazing.. Let's just say I could keep up with e90 M3s no issues..

But enzo Support is on point Never an Issue..
Enzo>RkTune

I can't speak for enzo.
However, I have used RK Tunes, and consider Jordan to be a friend.
He's always been great, and a very talented tuner.

Some examples here of his past work and I personally know the owners of the BMWs. It's a pleasure to know Enzo as well as the first Bootmod3 Dealer and Custom Tuner in Tri-State. I have to add, Enzo's Backend Flash was used on my friend's M235 FBO who did the First F series N55 World Record Sept 2016 at 11.2 in the 1/4 mile.

EnzoTuned 550 beating M5 CP with BMS Stg1


Another example

I’d go with RK tunes. From the reviews I’ve heard regarding both. Just leave it to Jordan and you won’t have any issues or worries.

So you're recommending someone u have no experience with ? What tune u have ?

I will have to tag bryan_f22 he had first hand experience last year, we were there for a full day and couldn't get his car to run right.

stay away from Rk.

no customer service, no money back guarantee even if his tune causes nothing but misfires.

I can name multiple people who have had the same issues.

I left Enzo to try RK because it was before BM3 was available and i wanted the ability to flash multiple tunes. Well, he couldnt get a single tune to work on my car without misfiring, this was after 8 hours on his dyno, than i rented a dyno a week later out of my own pocket for him to tune again. Same issue. So I basically spent about 2,000$ with RK for him to say sorry, I can't help you and I'm not giving you any money back.

Walked back into Enzo's shop, explained what I did, and he flashed me back without hesitation, no questions. No misfires, no bullshit.

RK and Jordan have been doing lots of things lately, sponser tuner for bimmerfest etc, spending money on getting his name out, but his customer service and business practices still have lots of room to grow.

But, hey do what you want.

Jordan street tuned my turbo e36, but that was many years ago. My experience was great.

I mean i cant speak for RK customer service, but i can speak for enzo's and ever since ive been EnzoTuned, ive never once had an issue with his customer service. I have received over 8 different maps to get the tune perfect for exactly what i'm looking for and the power delivery and just over all drivability has been amazing, i mean shit lol my car put down 398 whp on strait 91 pump gas, no meth on a day that was over 90*F so im really happy with it hahah

No hate, just facts. I gave him many chances to make it right.
Let's be honest, you can't compare tuning a e36 to a f82 or F22 or any modern car. It's different worlds.

Is Jordan a nice guy, yea. I wish i didn't waste my time and money with him and just kept him as a nice guy I knew.

Has enzo had some issues that are documented online as well, yea, of course. But that was when it was Enzo Performance. He was only doing tuning and other people were running the other areas of that shop including multiple owners. These days, Enzo is running solo, he only focuses on tuning which he does very well.

There is a reason why hes been doing it for so long on boats, cars, and exotics, not just a personal BMW, than think you can tune every series. I have been at his shop when IMSA race teams have been on the phone with him for support.

Enzo is a solid dude, and will always give you a full refund if your not impressed or satisfied.


Nothing is better for the m2 than BM3 with an enzo map right now...

How can it be hate? It's reviews based on real experiences here. Facts not fake news!

This seems like the same old forum BS that I've been reading for 20 years. Haters and fanboys.

But hey, I am not a tuner, and I was just sharing my experience, which some forum members might find helpful.

To the original poster, Supadice I am actually going with VF-Engineering's OTS tune, because that's what suits me the best.

Supadice so following your previous post it seems you were/are/who knows anymore VF/Hex, did you get the Jinx tune ? Can you tell us more about your experience? Now you're switching ?
