Alpine | M3/M4 F8X Motor Tuning - Full OBDII Flashing OEM Like

No, I'm running it with no problems.
Alex tuned it especially for stage 2+ with stock dp's.
He has also a tune for stage 2+ with catless dp's.

Anyone been in contact with Alex recently? Been trying to get a updated tune but not very responsive so far.

Hey Alex,

Has anyone tuned a cs with your tune? Like run the gts tune on their cs for a bit extra power? Wondering how that would go. Thx

[GP20]

Just wanna echo everyone's positive reviews with Alex. Very quick process and he's very accommodating with my schedule. Good communications!

just got this-will be coming in the next few days. I'm going to run the CP tune, I really just want some exhaust overrun and the tuned exhaust note...paired with the DCT flash. I'm really excited!

Performance wise, I love them and find it a bit more responsive compared to stock plugs. These NGK's are also 1 step colder which is good for tuned cars but not necessary. If you are on Stage 2 or Stage 2+ (Catted), I think the stock plugs are definitely good enough.

I am on Stage 2+ catless tune and so far everything has been in lack of a better word, PERFECT. And Alex has been really a great guy to deal with time and again despite flashing my car from Stage 2 > Stage 2+ (Catted) > Stage 2+ (Catless)!

Stage 2+ catless tune from Alex and your pushing 700+nm and 28pounds boost? I thought his 2+ was only an extra 90nm torque and boost cap at 22-24psi?

My boost is 25psi in gear. consistently. The 28psi is a boost spike between gears. I had the following from Alex :

1. Stage 2 (Stock Boost)
2. Stage 2+ (21-22psi psi Boost)
3. Stage 2+ Catless (24-25 psi boost)

Stage 2+ catless is a very noticeable increase over Stage 2+ Catted.

P.S - The Awron is just an estimated indication. It by no way is a dyno representative data. But one thing is for sure, my boost in gear is consistently 24-25 psi with the 1-2 psi spike between gears.

Hope this helps mate...

Got the .5 tune, as I really just wanted the CS overrun, and GTS flash. Alex hopped right on and got it taken care of very quickly. The car is very smooth, and feels very OEM. I haven't tested out the new power yet, but, just the throttle improvements, overrun, and shifting is worth it alone!

I only logged about 15 miles, but there is an immediate difference.

Did they have to update the software of the car before doing the flash tune?

Ah right gotcha. Nice one Ive been stage 2 from day 1 but only recently switched over to stage 2 catless. Thinking of getting crank hub done before hitting the stage2+ catless. It weird though can only feel the power difference higher up in the rpms compared from stock to catless stage 2.

if anyone is wondering what the burbles and tuned exhaust note sound like on a stock exhaust, I did a little video

Are we able to read error codes with alpine software

[Peedbj]

Chassis stabilization pop up but I'm pretty sure it's just a sensor

Highly suspect it is a wheel speed sensor that has gone bad. Had it previously on my friend's M4 when driving it.

Any Black Friday sales this year?

[Dmanfiman]

Posting up to say, if you're wondering, contemplating, thinking about it, on the fence...just do it.

Received my package within two days of shipping, Alex was flexible enough to hop on and get everything done in the evening, the day before thanksgiving no less.

The tune is flawless. I went with stage 1, it is the OEM+ CS like power level I was looking for along with the burbles, start up, and DCT flash. The most important factor is the power delivery. It is smooth, without spikes, and OEM like in its delivery to the point it is deceptive in how much faster the car actually is. Cannot recommend enough.

Those of you who went straight for stage II, HA. I'll make that move down the road, after I get some new tires LOL. Can't even imagine what it is like.

Thanks Alex. Quality products, with good service, at a fair price is a combination that is all too rare in general, and something that is damn near impossible to find in the auto/tuning world. Keep doing you.
