Does it feel a lot faster?

Glad we can get you setup

If you don't pull on a stock M now, you need to upgrade the driver LOL

Yes it does feel faster than BMS stage 1. Biggest difference is how smooth it runs now.

Geez, you take this thing past 120mph on the highway in NYC? Big balls you have..I've only done that on the track w/ my F80. Too many idiot drivers in southern CA and too much highway patrol lol. Good for you.

It was midnight and highway was empty. I was going 120 mph and state police was waiting around the corner with his lights off. Thankfully my radar picked him up. If u want to do runs do it after midnight but be careful.

Just came back from track day, with the BMS stage 1 kit I was able to keep up with the M6 GC in front of me. No problems with engine overheating either, definitely a worthwhile mod!

I usually run map1 (stage1) on the track as well. Gives a nice boost in power..

Had bms 1 installed by a professional to mAke sure it was done correctly. The car is another animal. Coming from a gtr I was missing the thrust and head bopping from accelerating. I wanted a little more but not to much. Here's my review of the bms stage 1.
1st and 2nd gear wot is useless. It pulls like crazy after 3k. I had 2 different people sit with me in stock wot and stage 1 wot. These are friends of mine that commute with me to work daily and have a sense of the cars stock power. After install, they immediately noticed more thrust and head bopping back into the head rest. I had a quick run against a stock m4. I was a car length ahead. Just flooring it is useless. I have the dct tranny. I usually set engine to sport. It's true power is when you set sport+ and shift level 3 and accelerate medium footed to heavy gradually. I can honestly admit the thrust now is comparable to a 2009 gtr with 485 Hp and 438 torque. I owned one and can vouch to it. That feeing comes after 4K and 30mph wot. Light acceleration comes with less effort now. The car feels very slightly different in normal driving with this tune but everything changes after 3k. I do have a milltek race exhaust and def noticed a louder exhaust tune after 3k. That was enough evidence for me that this tune is working since there is more power and hence more exhaust noise to release the anger. I couldn't be any happier with the purchase.

I assume by these statements you mean there's nothing but wheel spin?
Can't wait to install mine later today.
That is if I can get that damn MAP sensor disconnected.

[Turbo1204]

Good old wheel spin but manageable. It's a learning process.

Yea I know I could have done the install myself but had no patience for it. Had my guy Richie from queens NY who did it in 15 minutes. I guess 20 plus years dealing with cars pays off.
