The real question is can this make me pass emission with my catless downpipes? Lol

Can someone provide some feedback on the GTS options (steering, DCT, MDM). Would like to know if you can feel the changes, especially the steering as my 17 M4 seems to have somewhat vague steering

Thank you

[M4_CaptFlashheart]

yes you can feel the difference with steering, DCT etc At least I did when I used Alpine tuning in the past. The M3/4 do have vague steering due to the nature of the design, but the upgrade does make it feel better. The diff settings also feel much better. Again to me they did.

Thank you for the info M4 UAV.
A follow up question. Does the steering just have more weight to it or does it loose some of the "vagueness" also

Alex coding to Gts my steering and diff. In steering is very noticeable, it is more soft and precise, but the diff I have not been able to appreciate the difference.

Besides, Alex did it by remote and very fast.

Thank you for the info. I have to return my car to stock for a dealer visit, maybe after I'll have Alex add those options to my tune

Alex is that doable, or did I have to purchase the options when I bought the tune?

[Brake_Late]

Or PM him

Wow thanks for the post car sounds sick. Looks like I'm getting this exhaust tune.

Dope

thx for the sounds

[Smeargle]

My sa took this the other day when he asked to hear the car(cool guy has an e46 racecar) didnt think he'd actually sent me the videos though so I guess I'll just post them here. light revs to 4k car is pretty warm.

I had an opportunity to run my Alex GTS tune on the track last week. With DSC in MDM there was much less intrusion than past track days. The DCT sequential shift was noticeably more solid/quick. The adaptive suspension also had better rebound than before. Really just a much better overall track experience. I think that the track is where the GTS tuning is most appreciated.

Sure, absolutely! I've tried it on the street only so I couldn´t tell the difference.

In my case, being a car from Europe and had Euro MDM , and the suspension isn´t adaptive. That's because I can't give my opinion about this.

I'm thinking about going from stage 2 to stage 2+. Anyone try both?

Yes.. I did the same thing. I thought stage 2 was fast.. 2+ feels like a different beast altogether. I have no desire to get downpipes now because the car pulls so hard. The only downside I discovered in the stage 2 + is that the throttle sensitivity is kind of high..the car is touchy in efficient (tough to drive super smoothly at low speeds)...and forget driving around in sport and sport plus at low speeds around town - they can only be used when you're already moving.

I can always adjust your throttle in different modes, soften it up.

Couple things, only is so much pedal for so much power. Sport + is generally for higher speeds (above 40mph.) If you soften sport and sport + it isn't as responsive in high speeds.

[X-M3driver]

Alex, I'm on the same boat as previously discussed. I'd like a less aggressive throttle, at least the first 10 or 15% of throttle application but only in efficient mode. I like the Sport and sport + as it is
