But the question is: now that you know how sketchy it is, do you trust it enough to actually use it??

I sure don't.

It's been pointed out that Thor doesn't code things correctly, "yay thor app works!"

I highly recommend Kubax86 to resolve any problems that Thor app made. Coding took 10 minutes and now I have true GTS software ( only dct was ok ).

How does it feel compared to Thor only?

I might as well update everyone since I had my coding done by kubax86 this morning.

My incorrect settings were as follows: DSC was done improperly, no change to steering, diff was done improperly and EDC wasn't changed.

I just took a test drive to the office and floored it the entire way and MAN what a difference.

I am running E50 on a Cary Jordan flex fuel map and the new settings HOOK with the cup 2s. My traction was all over the place before.

My existing settings are now xHP transmission flash (Stage 3, v1.2), GTS Diff, Steering and MDM and CS EDC. Everything except obviously xHP was done by kubax86

I do a lot of daily driving and like the lighter steering and DCT of the CS, but then again I have not tried the GTS

GTS steering in comfort mode is very light

I flashed to GTS settings with Thor awhile back and have been seeing these posts about Thor causing issues for awhile now. Never thought anything of it because my car has had no codes thrown, and in the meantime I've gone to a number of track days since.

Well out of curiosity I had Kuba check the settings today and they were completely wrong. My steering was unchanged/default F80, my diff/MDM was set to F87. So we got it all corrected to GTS. My car is manual/no edc I'm on coilovers so no changes to those.

Noticeable difference just driving around and I wish I had it checked sooner! Have a track day coming up so looking forward to having the settings I actually intended to have.

Another kubax86 happy customer here. Knowing that Thor possibly flashed the wrong settings was enough to have me have him fix it. Also had carplay flashed while he was at it. Highly recommended.

No idea what eco mode is.

On the Thor CS coding in economical mode, the car shifts very early and softly. The rpms stay low to save gas. It's pleasant to use when just commuting back and forth to work

CS EDC is CS EDC as long as it's properly coded. In my instance, it wasn't even coded. I guess I just had ZCP EDC coded in as default which felt like crap with my Bilstein B16 DDC.

CS EDC is way more comfortable but rebound is massively improved/faster. I took my car out to the canyons today and it felt darn amazing.

I was getting beat up really bad with ZCP EDC. It was way too harsh with the Bilstein coilovers. CS EDC made the car comfortable and compliant again, and it handles 10x better in the corners.

I would like to thank you guys for the kind words.
It is a pleasure to fix an issues caused by THOR.

Use discount code 15% - THORFIX for purchases.

As others mentioned. Best set up for every M3/M4 is:

Steering: GTS
Differential: GTS
MDM: EURO GTS
Transmission: GTS
EDC (if you have ZCP): CS
