BM3 E30 tune compared to Stage 2

[f93_gc]

So i’ve been running BM3 E30 Stage 2 tune for over a month now and i’m on the edge about it honestly. I feel as if there’s barely any difference from the car since it was already Stage 2 prior and it also has less aggressive pops and bangs because of the ethanol. What do you guys think, better off just going back to 91 Oct. Stage 2 for the convenience?

I recently made the switch from stage 2 93 to the e30 map and felt a more responsive throttle. However, my mpgs dropped drastically of course which is making me want to switch back to 93 and just flash the e30 map if I am going to do some runs (happens 1?2? a year) lol

I had the same issue. I didn't feel much difference between stage 2 and E30. I ended going full e85. Night and day.

That’s what i’m debating, what did you end up running as far as Tuner / Supporting mods?

Maybe it is because we have the 91ACN where I live, but the jump from that tune to e30 was drastic for me. Now also full e85...

Full E is next for me as well. Just need to pull the trigger on the custom map. I wonder if custom map files can be uploaded and shared?

If for instance someone had a full e85 tune for their car with downpipes would they be able to share that file or is it probably coded by vin number so tuners dont get ripped off?

most probably, i mean if it was that easy to share a tune everyone would do it lol.The way it works is you request a tune from a tuner (after paying for it ofc) then they have you do a base pull, and they keep
updating your map based on your cars individual performance

Yes but stage 2 91acn. I’m willing to bet there’s some delta between the 91acn and 93...
