I will be getting a 2016 in a couple months and I will be giving the ESS flash tune a try. Until then I'll stick w/ JB4. Not sure there is a better piggyback solution even with the 6MT not being tested as much with the OBD features. I also agree the ESS install was more difficult and messier than JB4. Not sure why they decided to mount the hardware where the brake booster is but it's a mess. |

What I've noticed after of few weeks of the ESS is that it is definitely quirky when the car is not warmed up. Push the gas too hard and the car jerks when it is cold. It seems to go away with the high torque map vs. the linear map though. Haven't explored the 3rd normal map yet. Keep in mind I'm at high elevation during the summer so things get complicated. Once it is warmed up it is great.
I did not experience this with the JB4 - mainly used map 1. The high torque ESS map feels (and sounds) like the JB4 map 1 (+4psi for all RPM) but I don't know what the ESS maps do. I have not yet fully explored the +- settings on the ESS. On the linear stage when I set it to +3 it jerked a lot even when the car was warm. So perhaps setting it negative will smooth it out. |

I know this may be off topic, but I had just dyno'd my m4 with the dinan stage 2 and exhaust yesterday, and was extremely disappointed by the results. I will attach photos of the graph, but the first three pulls were in 4th gear, and the last one was in 5th. I atleast expected my car to be in the 450whp range. Traction control was off also, I am not sure if there is something that could be keeping the car from hitting peak #'s.

JMetro, I posted a response to the exact same question you pasted in this thread as well. http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...6&postcount=53
Maybe open your own thread with your question as off topics are not the best method. I will add this. Was your expectation also based on the exhaust you put on? What exhaust do you have? Also please let us know if you have a DCT or 6spd and if you changed the rims and/or tires out from the stock 19"

it was the Dinan exhaust, stock rims/tires, just dinan stage 2 and a DCT transmission. I tried to open a new thread, but my account is too new to do so as of now.

All we would really get is hp, tq, and price for the different stages each one offers.

We inquired previously about being added to this thread as well: http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...une+Comparison As MThree_driver mentioned, the basic data that can be shared is , HP / TQ / Price, but we can also share Boost Levels / Performance and Acoustic Features / availability of Program Switching or Optional Stage Power Levels / Installation Process / Notable Dealers and Locations for Customer Service / etc... While many of the actual calibration strategies may be proprietary, there's enough categories that can be addressed to identify discerning differences between brands. |

Do you guys feel that the OEM tires on the M3/M4 isn't wide enough to get a good grip at launch? I feel like I must upgrade the tires to 10.5 width, otherwise upgrading the ECU with the added HP will mean nothing if you don't have traction.
