Also curious on this. Was going to mess around with the settings in BimmerCode but wasn’t sure on exactly what the change is.

The most exciting to me is always the tune, followed by a new catback exhaust

If you have the adaptive laser lights you can use EXPERT MODE in Bimmer code to activate the feature. run a search on VLD and you will see all the threads on this

Interesting point about the tune especially coming from a track guy. How do you like the power delivery? I always thought the stock power was more than enough for this chassis. But I'm thinking of something like cs map after my warranty expires

I had Cary Jordan tune the car for max power but a smooth torque curve.

Throttle response was great mid corner to corner exit.

The car was tuned on 93 Pump. 502 WHP@5770RPM's/ 593WTQ@4250

I run 265F & 295R Yoko A052's to put the power down with a solid suspension setup as well.

Its a crazed animal on the track with gobs of power when you can manage putting it down.

Have you tried the m2cs tune? How does it compare to it?
I use the m2cs tune on GP circuits and its great. Decent corner exit and keeps up with 991.2 gt3s on the straights.
