BM3 offers the most options and customizations (they can give a tune based on any fuel type, performance mods, adjust exhaust valve settings, and even change burble to your preference if that is your thing). You can manage your tune via a phone app, etc.

All others are only pre-packaged tunes with little to nothing changed from car to car. BM3 offers standard packaged tunes too but it is possible to have those customized if you have that interest.

Both HEX and BM3 have been the M3/M4 tuners providing support to our cars in this forum the most. If I were to do a tune, I would prefer either of them.

Can't go wrong with either BM3 or HEX tune IMO. I personally have the HEX Stage 1 because there was a installer right by my office. dyno'ed 495 rwhp with AA DP's. Strongly recommend wider and/or stickier tires

That's a very happy number, and it'll make those gains all day / every day!

One click into efficient mode, and you can still drive it like you're passing
