Im local so I had the luxury of getting coded by the man himself. Service top notch! Thanks again Alex!
If I was local then Alex would punch me in the face b/c I seem to always cause trouble for him

Moved from E92 to F82. Had Alex tune my M3. Now I'm on to this rig. Any downside to running the 2+ on a non-comp car?
Here's what I'm thinking: (2+) Performance DCT Flash + Coding (GTS steering, GTS/Euro MDM, Differential)
I'm really looking forward to the "burble". I opted out for my M3 tune but with the turbos, I'm all in!
Thanks in advance for any/advice.

I purchased the Stage 2+ tune, DCT Flash, Coding package, and some other goodies a few weeks ago for my stock M4. Alex installed everything remotely the same day I received the package in the mail.

My car is meannnn and so much faster. On Friday night a CTS-V pulled up next to me while I was cruising on the high way and revved up a few times. I couldn't ignore him so I put everything in Sport +, mashed the gas and pulled away. I waited for him to catch up and pulled away again even faster.

Just get the tune and be happy!

I have stage 2 and it really is awesome. I might want to try 2+. Alex how much of a difference on a stock car or is it negligible?

I just went from Stage 2 to Stage 2+ (no downpipes, just BMC drop-ins, and charcoal delete). Holy hell, it's not even the same car. 2nd gear is all but useless anymore.

Also, those of you with non-ZCP cars ...find yourself a stock ZCP muffler. Sounds so much better and meaner than the non-ZCP exhaust. the burbles and farts are much more pronounced and it's deeper sounding.

I had Alex code my stock M4 and also added the Stage 2+ tune.
Alex did a great job and I am very satisfied with the results.
If your on the fence...Just pull the trigger, you wont regret it.

Been following and reading the many Alpine tuning threads for weeks now and from everything I’m reading I’m probably going to go with stage 2+, All GTS coding etc...plus misc coding (active sound disable etc etc)

Current setup: 2015 base, charge pipes, SSR intake, AWE Non resonated exhaust, adaptive suspension

My only hold up is that I want to do a before and after Dyno to see where I’m currently at and what I gain bc I want to see what this thing will produce at the wheels. Does anyone have any input on their dyno experiences with the stage 2+?

If you look back a page you will see the dyno sheet I posted. There's a comparison between "stock" and stage 2+. I had a full AA exhaust and intake on it during the stock run but that's it. He flashed it back to stock for me to get a run and then ran it at stage 2+ but those numbers are a custom tune from Alex.

Ah ok thanks! So 439 was pre tune and 505 was post stage 2+ I assume?

When yo say full exhaust, Does that include down pipes?

You were pushing 439 to the wheels with just an exhaust and intake?

Yeah but downpipes dont give that much of a hp gain 439 to wheels is 80 whp over stock. Surprisingly, it was done on a mustang which tends to read low

Those are more than likely incorrect readings due to some sort of external factors. No way an m4 is pushing over 400 to the wheels stock. I got 80whp because the car is rated at ~360-380whp from the factory and his dyno reading is 439whp
