How many times must this be asked?

Overall... Bm3 is king.

OP,
it depends on what you are looking for.

Based on Dynos, Active Autowerke offers the most out of the box.

Bootmod3 offers the most features and control to users, also allows you to get a customer tune from a third party.

Openflash is a great option offered at a low price

I had BPM then switched to BM3 after only 2 weeks and never looked back.

MHD is also a good option

I know dude. I was just having a little fun. There have been more posts on here regarding ‘warranty’ and Dinan than any other subject. I admit to trolling.

BM3 by a long shot.

There are lots of threads with dynos and past development to familiarize yourself with the tune. No VIN-locked cables required and best support in the marketplace today.

It would be great to have an updated sticky summarizing all the options to include ecu flashes. From my past experience I would much prefer an ecu flash to a piggyback. With the SCH issue which seems to pop up every month now and a $30k engine, offering a warranty is something pretty important to me

My Choice BootMod 3 by far the most reliable and well-sorted tune !!!! I run stage 2 93 map with GTS tranny upgrade MAP. Power delivery is very predictable and throttle response is way way better than OEM.
