stage 2 - which tune ?
Hi,
I have a manual lci m2 since late 2017 which is one of my daily cars. I always had high power rwd cars (started with m5 e39, then had an e63 m6 smg and i just sold my f10 m5 dkg with a stage 2) and always found the m2 a bit of a let down in term of power. For the moment my car has 25000 miles approx and as warranty is expiring i am looking into tuning. The main issue for me is heat soak and the non demonstrative top end. I am looking at stage 2 tune (93 octane which seems to equal our 98 octane in belgium) with : - Wagner evo 2 comp intercooler - wagner 300 cel catted dp - ftp charge pipe - BM3 or MHD OTS tune My main question is : which is the best and more reliable tune between OTS BM3/MHD stage 2 or should i go for a custom tune from a company in belgium (br performance, shiftech,...) ? BTW : i would not want the exhaust note to change (so i hope 300cel dp will not add rasp) and i would like a tune with the same level of burbles/ pop and bang as stock and not really more (i find it more than enough) Should i add any part or it is enough ? Best regards. Last edited by payam007; 04-14-2020 at 07:57 AM.. |

If you're already considering a custom tune, then the platform doesn't matter. You can choose any of the 3 and get a custom tune specific to the gas in your region and to your individual car. |

A plus with BM3 is with a custom tune you can customise throttle, eg have the same throttle mapping across all driving modes, ideally how a manual trans car should be.
I find Sport throttle the best. In Comfort the rev hang is annoying and wants slow shifting for smoothness. Sport+ is like a light switch & too aggressive (incl the rev match). |

I went with MHD, their Stage 2+ tune is nice. Again a OTS Tune is gonna work okayish for just about anybody. I'm probably going to go with a Jordan tune here in the next little while and try and get the most out of my N55. Can't go wrong with BM3 or MHD when it comes to OTS tunes!

I would recommend the lads from Wedge Performance. Steven has been exceptional with assisting me. Speaking of which, I am due for a fine tune since the incorporation of my XDI35 HPFP and Turbo Smart BOV.
