- some random dude from other Noelles threads shows up saying positive things and digital fisticuffs between him and other members are almost thrown but cooler heads prevail.
- OP says a bunch of weird stuff about BMW errors and the Noelle tune not taking properly. Also some comments about tire pressure. Maybe OP had two spare tires on the rears instead of normal wheels. It's unclear.
- OP "promises" to post soon after he goes to BMW to get his car fixed. That was 1.5 years ago..

Some say the OPs car is still in the shop till this day.
going on the 2 year mark looks like he never got that appointment lmao

Day one with Noelle tune…was so annoyed at the lack of data that I got the tune installed and just tested. Bottom line is that it is a big improvement over stock. RaceBox data attached. It shaved a full second off the 60-130, and the quarter mile tonight was 10.36-10.38 @135 mph. My prior all time best stock time was 10.70 at 130 mph (in perfect conditions). Best 0-60 dropped from a smooth 2.70 to a squealing 2.55 sec (one foot rollout on in both cases). I estimate power is up 175 hp, and the transmission is also snappier. This car can now keep up with my GT2RS until 120 mph, and stays very close after that (unless there are turns!). Noelle isn't voodoo, but it's a solid way to make a high ten second car into a low ten second car. And the extra torque is super noticeable in higher gears. Flame away peeps, but data is data.

I'm not the original guy, just read this thread a while back and figured I should share once I get it. Happy to help. Yes, 5-6 mph in the quarter. Full second in 60-130.

I haven't been to track yet, but i can tell you the Noelle tune is everything advertised... The difference is night and day.

I will not take the word of anyone that has a new account. Period.

Additionally, until they can do LCI models, I don't care. :P

Also, a generic statement that a tune makes a big difference means nothing. Any tune or piggyback adds very noticeable power to these cars.

Best tune?

Looking for the most reliable tune. Called Noelle and the price is down but they also said they are not offering any warranty at all with their tune because the dealers are always finding ways to void their warranty, even for unrelated claims.

Welcome to the forum!

I strongly suggest you research this through Google or the like--reliability is subjective when weighed against performance gains. In addition, there's a mass of information--and yet more misinformation still--out there already that many here and elsewhere will be reluctant to rehash. Those threads do, however, conclude in first-person testimony which is what you're after.

I will, however, advise that you don't start with Noelle--this thread being a testimony to why that's reasonable guidance.

Knowing the model and model year of your car also helps since some models aren't yet ECU-cracked and only piggybacks will work, e.g. Dinantronics, Burger JB4 or Racechip.

Agreed, and the frequency with which Noelle receive support from folks with 2 or thereabouts posts is... well, that's your point and it's bang on.

That said and granted it's snarky: I also base credibility on forum reputation--the ratio of posts:reputation yields different but perhaps equally relevant insight... so hmmm--maybe contribute some more.
