To all those that have purchased or purchasing tunes for their Ms, excuse my ignorance, but isn't the M power of 400+ hp/tq enough What do you guys do , track, race, drag that you need the extra power?

For me I am coming from a FBO N54 135i with stage 1 turbos. That was too much power for that car but I do miss the shove in the gut from all the low end torque. The tune will provide that plus the thing with HP is that can you really ever have enough??

If you already have a M4, in my opinion getting a M4 CS will be a waste of money. Yes, I know you get the highly desirable exterior parts but if the CS is priced at 118,000$ that is a lot of cash for just a slightly better looking and "higher performing" model. I have been looking to sell my 2015 M4 for months and can't even fetch $65,000. Couple weeks ago I went to Porsche because I wanted to order the 911T but they gave me a lowball trade in at $56,000. So the heck with it I decided to drive the M4 for one more year. It's not such a bad thing.

MBoss, unsure if your comment above was towards me? I am definitely not getting a CS or anything close to that. Was joking above. But to each his own!

Never mind the CS, Pfaff is asking $120K for individual M4 CP's. The CS will be insane. |

Pfaff is trying to do with BMW what they did with Porsche but there are way too man dealers in GTA that offer very good discounts.

Hex is available now.... also its more comforting to know for me that they do operate an in house testing facility and are currently in the market with port flashing as BM3 isnt just yet....
My other option is BPM and I really appreciate Mike's openness and transparency with how the product works and the behind the scenes of how he develops his tunes infact thats my dilemma right now as im trying to press the order button, but my argument is to myself is unlike his competition I typically prefer to purchase from a larger vendor with multiple dealer outlets and a longer time in this business for more of the accountability aspect. |

From my perspective, and have I been in the market for a tune, I would choose any one of those 3 or 4 vendors without considering whether they have a 10,000 sq ft facility or not! Just the fact that you are loading a "tune" without knowing the details and its origins is worrisome and it is very unclear who develops their own tunes and who re-brands or slightly modifies, etc... |

BM3, VF, BPM, did alot of research and it's really a tossup. I just see more of VF's testing process than others' as a result of my search queries. It doesn't mean others don't. But the biggest deciding factor was they had a dealer local to me in Vancouver so that's that.

Price wise BM3 was always cheaper I had assumed if you don't buy the agent that plugs to the OBD.
HEX is being run on track car? I honestly wasn't considering them at all recently but I need read up on them even more now. My biggest issue with HEX was everyone complaining about the throttle issue in sport+ and they ignored it till they realised it needed to be addressed. What I realized from that issue was that they are not setup to read ppls logs and adjust for air,gas etc immediately. Not sure if that matters for most of us but it's great to have that option. And BPM is known to offer that kind of instant service as well with s65.

Thank you to everyone for your support. We've delivered a ton of tunes in Canada with nothing but positive feedback from the owners.
To those considering a flash tune - please do your homework and don't be fooled by gimmicks and false information. A post that may be of interest: http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...4#post22606894 |

I still have a deposit for the first allocation at my dealer.
Albeit the wait is getting ridiculous. We still do not have pricing, packaging nor availability for Canada and it's been close to a year since the official reveal. According to my original plans, I was supposed to change my car last summer. If this goes on much longer, I will simply order an M4 with CP and have it coded and tuned.
