Yes....I have had the car for the weekend...I cannot go into detail yet. All I will say is its been a good weekend. and I have some wild go pro footage can't wait to share...

Other tuners o'n the site have claimed its already aggressively tuned...According to Enzo, there is much truth to that....However as a tuner Ill say there many was to make more power aside from your very commonly known, cooler temps, higher boost, and Ill just say he knows them...

I wanted a "conservative tune" (eventually use a JB4" to push it only when required...Stock I was holding 13psi, right now bc he is tuning it right... slowly increasing the power. With permission to push it so he has more agressive tunes avail for those who want it...

Picked up thurs, but I put too much ethanol is accidentally so had some misses and hesation,...Once i got 93 aki with 10% E in in and once the computer adjusted, HOLY SHIT. No CEL (about 300 miles so far. No misses, no knocks....Much smoother throttle in sport and sport + and the power increase (again he barely raised boost)...1st gears almost useless... LOL...
On top of the obvious performance...The burbles and "backfires" are f**kin awesome...and they happen only on demand....like stock, you just let off a peal booost and BOOM...Haha...

Under tunnels. or nto window of another sports car is enough to scare them off...Suddenly noone wants to race...LOL...Like I said the dyno reads low, but the Gains seem to be bigger than what Ive seen personally other tuners...Butt dyno is very clear.

Driveability, sound, mileage, seemed to greatly improve once the DME adjusted. and The car n longer goes into "PIG MODE" on a hot day...

After driving nonstop all weekend literally, and admittedly driving it hard ( while keeping an eye on important info in real time like AFR, IATS etc...) Everything as stayed well within safe ranges...Boost spikes LESS than stock snd is more consistent...

I am dropping it off tomm, for a few more days to A. eliminate 1 hiccup ive had, most wouldn even notice, and also to develop a plug n play stckable tune w JB4...

Cant post details but Ill put up a vid in a few, and you will be impressed by that and that alone...

Uploading in a few..."

This was a lie, I did a good writeup bc ENZO promised to repair it and he did it free...It actually ran like shit with no gains, an eventually brcked DME...Im srry for misleading anyone...

Minor update, If you own an M2 and love hitting almost a g in lateral acceleration get tuned and catless ASAP. I can't speal for other tunes but I requested a conservative tune with a SLIGHT bump in boost...Anyone can just get JB$ or confuse the DME and run a ton a boost...

Im running about 1.5 PSI over stock and this car sticks m in my seat harder than my 600+ AWHP evo 8...1st gear is almost unusable...

Dropping it back offf for finishing touches...(Maybe a boost reduction in 1st LOL)

Ill let Enzo divulge the final numbers when hes satisfied...But hes like a super perrfectionist...

Getting my 3" exhaust dump welded in this week...And we are going to run a JB4 along side the Enzo Calibration & he will obviously make an ethanol map and a more aggressive tune foor thoe who want it....

I also installed my BMS intake. (Almsot returned it) because the filter was just open to hot air, the exhaust manifold is directly below it and heat rises lol...So I got some Heat Cloth, sheet metal, spray adhesive and went to work...

Used to Torque Pro to record the difference in Ambient air temps compared to IATs in various temps, humidity, and driving conditions and without the heat shield for example ambient @ 70*F IAT driving slow;y, low load, about a 40 * difference,,,(120)...BMS intake - 130-140F...Heat shield back to before...Plus the reasom i got it, Intake is super loud..

Putting a video together now. and Ill just say if you have an M2, your first reponse will be,,"My M2 doesnt do that LOL"


few more mins...

Fantastic idea. I installed the same intake and also had heat concerns. You should manufacture/market that sucker.

Not a fan blue stuff looks cheap /autozonish. I question how effective that heat shield would be once the car got heat soaked. Im excited for the tune/numbers though!!

[QUOTE=LBBDrew;20140664]Post a vid of the sound!

Ill upload a few vids...

But sad news... An Elderly indian woman, who barely spoke english, pulled out across two lanes on the LIE Service rd heading WB. I was semi-driving next to an old school Buell Motorcycle driver...I guess she didnt see us or just didnt look bc after almost taking him out, I cut the wheel left to swire around her...

Not only did she push me into the rail, instead of cutting the wheel away she cut it more toward me...

Then proceeded to lie to the police, saying she was just driving and I hit her...(Not knowing I had 3 Go Pros and my phone catching it from every angle...Also three witness stopped and said there was literally nothing I could do..

The damage is somehow not as bad as you would think. It was a pretty slow encounter. Driver/ Passanger Fender Duh...Passanger door and side skirt.

The front bumper survived with minimal damaage (paint scrapes), chipped headlight(passanger) somehow a dent in the fdriver rear bumper....

Ill ask my isurance agent if I can release the video.


I am freaking bc Im sure the M2 headlight, front fenders and sim sure suspension pieces will need special order from germany...Anyone else ave a fender bender yet w there m2. Parts avail?

Btw the car still drives fine, besides the alignment...

Safe to say Im incredibly upset..

Did anyone else have a fender bender?

That would be me.

Hit a Coyote going 55 mph, went through central air intake, completely fucked up the intercooler (intercooler is literally hanging by its rubber pipe), radiator is fucked, multiple strut bars bent. The bumper was dented but no scratches.

I don't know if they had to repaint the whole bumper just to unbend a dent on the bottom lip with a heat gun or with resurfacing. I'm very worried there will be a huge color difference.

Sadly I must say that you should prepare for the worst. My car has already been in the shop for over 3 weeks and work hasn't begun on anything but the bumper. No reassembly or anything yet.

Why?

4 or 5 parts had to come from Germany. They were pulled aside for clearance and FedEx lost the package in the process. After a week and a half after it was lost the found it. Next day it arrived to the dealer and my shop got those parts.

Now, more bad news for Adem1534 after I thought it'd finally start getting better.

Turns out the shop is missing a part that came from Germany on a separate order 2 weeks ago. BMW said it was delivered but my shop can't find it. Might have to wait another 1-2 weeks before work even BEGINS.

All in all, I hope that coyote suffered the most horrible death imaginable.

Prepare yourself for the worst.

By the time this is over, I will be able to say that my car has been in the shop for longer than I had it. A month and a half.

Well it is is one intake opposed to two on the M3/M4, so makes sense,...Expensive but fair price it seems, creative and seemingly well engineered...I just wanted to hear the turbo and not LOSE power, for now that will come wiith "finishing touches" Mod budget is now tied for a JB4 and Maybe Pure Stage 2
