Don’t get me wrong, I’m extremely happy that it’s now done in BM3, but the whole thing still leaves a bitter taste. We had a clear provable, easily repeatable issue and it took two years and a lot of patronizing emails from many tuners before we got a result. I do think it will be fixed in all platforms eventually, but it just doesn’t sound like tuners think it’s important. I hope that as things go from a single voice (me) to more (widetyres) to now many more, that tuners start to take notice. Keep in mind that this issue afflicts ALL 6MT N55 (M2 only) and S55 cars!!! These must be some of the most tuned vehicles on the planet, and the lag is obvious from the first drive.... these are now pretty old drivetrains. There is more to tuning a car than peak power, and perhaps most significantly, 6MT is just as important as DCT! Last edited by Nezil; 02-19-2021 at 04:44 PM.. |

A above maybe tuning has too much history with 'power gains' but anything can be tuned and software has great power in modern cars. Tuning should be applied to many different things therefore.

I tag them on FB at every n55 EWG map update mentioning just this, but never get a rise or response out of them. I am really curious as to whether those with BM3 notice an improvement with their OTS maps considering they've adopted this "fix"..

As I said a few posts back, I'm thoroughly disappointed that it took any tuner so long to take this seriously, and I'm even more disappointed that there are still tuning platforms that haven't bothered to find their own solution to what I feel is the most serious problem with the 6MT N55 / S55 BMWs. I was right on the brink of selling my M2 when the fix came out... I was so frustrated every time I drove it... now I don't have to sell it and I can enjoy every drive.

I recently updated/flashed ots maps.. specifically stage2 plus and definitely noticed a lag fix plus hpfp issues they had in the past.
Car is a blast to drive, really having 2nd thoughts on upgrading the turbo as well |

I also notice the improvements in up shifts with BM3 on v5.9 stage 2 91 OTS. FWIW, I also flashed back to stock just to see if it's just placebo and I immediately felt the issue come back. A huge thanks to Nezil for his persistence, and of course PTF for eventually listening and putting in a fix.

I want to add that the issue isn't as pronounced on my M2C but was absolutely brutal on my M2. it's still there but not to the extent that it makes it undriveable.

Between this fix, custom throttle mapping in my tune (Sport+ deleted so Sport all modes except Comfort), AS SSK and finally CDV removed the car is just so enjoyable to drive in every situation. Can't see myself ever selling it |

How did you effectively remove the CDV? Did you swap in a different slave without the CDV - I think I recall seeing an e9x version that was a direct replacement. Thx!

Interesting, so there is no improvement from BM3 on an S55 regarding any lag post-shift? It's one of the main things that annoys me when it happens. It must be bad on N55 if it's worse... I've only driven DCT and ZF8 N55 cars though.
