I also had to get a coder to remote into my laptop and update my DME.

All that being said, the tune is beautiful. The power delivery is very smooth, 6th feels like 4th on the highway. I did a 91 oct Stage 2 flash. Burbles are nice but I thought they'd be louder in Sport mode. I have the slider at 6, I'm going to see how 7 sounds.

One issue I did have - I attempted to flash the Stage 2 AGG tune (aggressive) and I had mulitiple drivetrain malfunctions. I actually got pretty worried as the online recode didn't work either. I went back to the Stage 2 (non AGG) tune and I'm all good. I read somewhere that it's only for M cars but the F30 335i guys have it...
The BM3 Stage 2 Aggressive just means Agressive Burbles. And make sure u let instrument cluster go to sleep before u start the car after a flash. Otherwise u will get a bunch of codes.
