Tuning as in custom tuning? Apex Autowerks in Clifton has a dyno and does custom tuning, I think most track guys in the area go to them. They also have the only touchless tire mounting machine in the area, so also a good spot for that (apparently the machine was 30k... damn.)

What does this mean. You're looking for a shop where you just drop the car off, say "make more power", have them decide what mods to install and purchase, then you just come back? If so, that's not a good idea, you always want to know what is installed and why it's installed, so that if something breaks you know where to look.

I would look into all the bolt on's first like exhaust, DP, CP and intake. if you want more power after that than look into a flash tune

Do they do transmissions as well?

There's a transmission tune yes, but you can't change any variables in it nor is there any kind of stages. It just removes torque limits for 3rd and 6th, and I THINK it improves shift speed. xHP is the way to go if you care about stages and altering shift points, but if you're just looking for something to improve the transmission a bit, bm3 is better bang for your buck.

I am still having this issue. Ive tried alot of things like u. There is no boostleak. Nothing that needs attention. Plugs and oil has been changed but nothing changed. It never did this when it was stock. Also when i am at more than 40 or 50percent WOT i still feel it because im sensitive to those things. If anyone figured it out please pm me as i dont often check the boards anymore. i am stumped and kinda gave up all hope. Btw i tried reflashing even messed with burble settings and changed from agg map to non agg map. Nothing. |

Anyways, I did solve the problem with my car. In my situation it was tune related. Checked everything over and everything was good. Decided to start working on my own custom tune and I was able to resolve most of the drivability issues I was having (still working on getting a solid tune in). One of the things I did to test my theory was copy all the "sport" tables over to the "normal" tables and it helped significantly since I do not have a DEC switch to put my car in sport mode. I tried raising this with PTF but they didn't seem too interested in assisting. Their solution was that I get a custom tune. I'm convinced it's due to a lack refinement in the OTS maps. If you think about it, the N55 configuration found in the 2011 F10 N55 is really unique to that year/model(it's basically an E series N55 in an F series platform). No other F series platform (including 2012+ F10) shares the same engine/ecu configuration from my understanding. So I can see why they haven't spent too much time refining the OTS maps for this platform, it's such a small market share of their overall customers. Just look at the date of the last update to the OTS maps for this car. These maps haven't been updated in almost a year and a half. While all other F platforms seem to receive quarterly updates to the OTS maps. Not sure how helpful this was? Take what I said with a grain a salt as it's all based on assumption. Especially if you have a 2012 or newer F10... lol |

I looked at a bunch of tunes/tuners and decided to go with AMR Flash Tune.
https://shop.amrperformance.com/ I know a few guys locally that have used them. Customer service is fantastic. You can send ECU or they can tune remotely or in the shop. I am all in for 1k. I didnt dyno yet but they estimate motor is making ~400-425hp and about the same in torque. Difference is night and day compared to stock. Once I add DP and IC I will have dyno'd and re-tuned. Car runs better than new, power is almost instant and it pulls hard/consistent through the powerband. Minimal turbo lag and no hesitation or stuttering when u get on it. Just smooth linear power. The main reason I chose them was reputation. Tune does not just increase boost, it adjusts all parameters to ensure motor is running optimally. My only issue is I'm not getting any burble. They even opened just for me on a Sunday to see why it's not making burbles. Long story short, I think they are worth at least a look if you are in need of a tune. If you contact them, tell them Manny sent you. |

Hi I've flashed bm3 OTS map for my 528i last week and I meet some trouble, I cannot accelerate over 210 km/h. Btw, it also have error code “118001” after flashing.
Does anybody have the same questions? |

That code could indicate your not getting enough fuel. Are you running e85? Do you have an open air filter? Or send the tune back with logs and check to see if AFRs are too lean.

Just a heads up to everyone:
Firefox Preview on Android doesn't work for the bootmod3 app logins after FP's latest updates. Probably an out of date implementation of webview or something. Chrome still works. Hopefully we'll see this fixed soon, since Chrome has an assload of privacy issues. Edit: Milan from protuningfreaks has confirmed that at this point, they have no intention to support Firefox. Very, very disappointing. All hail Chrome I guess, long may the spyware live. Last edited by Unspec; 01-10-2020 at 01:18 PM.. |

Does anyone know what PTF means by "Full Exhaust" for the AGG maps? Does it mean you need an entirely built exhaust (everything south of the downpipe), or will hi flow downpipe + axelback exhaust suffice?

The only difference with the AGG maps are the burbles. The default OTS settings for the burbles are way more "aggressive". Power wise, the maps are the same between aggressive and non aggressive. |

Yup, I understand the power part, just wasn't clear on what they meant by "Full Exhaust". Thanks!
