How come none of these flash companies are posting 1/4 mile runs?
Jb4 has posted a 10.2 with stock internals and barley any bolt ons. I have FBO, just waiting on a company to offer me a stage 2 tune that can beat jb4 1/4 mile time. And I have yet to see anyone show proof or that. I've been looking everywhere. All I'm seeing is 100-200kmh times. The only metric I really care for is 1/4 mile. Anyone know of a tune that has shown proof to beat jb4? I'd jump all over it. |

Additionally if any tuner companies want to use my car for marketing purposes I'm more than willing to go to the track and pull numbers for you.
Like I said I have a full FBO -eventri intake -full catless esienmann dp's -full catback custom exhaust And even superlight weight HRE wheels All I need is the stage 2 tune. I'm really to install TODAY. willing to drive to Fontana speedway or to Bakersfield speedway. Also have a dragy installed for numbers redundancy. Let's get me in the 9's!!! |

The JB4 and the flash maps offer similar performance. Low 10 second potential on good fuel.
The main benefit of the flash maps are they can remove the speed limiter add in exhaust burble. The main drawback of the flash maps are once flashed traces are left behind all across the vehicle so warranty claims and lease returns would be hit and miss. In theory the flash maps should be better for E85 mixtures as you can adjust the fuel scalars directly. We're looking in to fuel pump upgrades for the F90. Main benefit of the JB4 is the JB4 mobile app which lets you data log and make mapping and tuning changes right from your phone. Their new boost by gear algorithm makes launching a lot more consistent too on less than ideal track surfaces. By nature of how it works no trace is left behind when removed. Then of course if 10.6 is fast enough for you check out the quick install BMS Stage1. Great value and performance. You don't get the adjustability of the JB4, don't get CANbus, the app, or wastegate control for big power, but install is literally 30 seconds. |

but my main thing is getting into the 9's I can deal with the warranty thing later if need be. Gotta run at least 9.99 and I know someone can get me there. Just gotta find the tuner. |

Some of the flash tuners like DME tuning is actually using a JB4 combined with their flash map, best of both worlds. If cost and warranty isn't an object consider that route. You get all the benefits of flash changes with the dynamic boost adjustment, logging, launch adjustment, that the JB4 offers.

To be honest, I don't really suffer from breaking loose... and least not that I can detect. In my F10, it was the opposite in that I didn't really suffer from traction... at all. |

Every time something is plugged into the OBD port, it’s logged and transmitted via telematics

I use it knowingly, if I break it, I buy it. Local dealer generally will not be an issue. If NA gets involved, they will know. Just had a service. Left the RC installed out in the open. They flashed the DME, oil, etc. Zero issues. |

To me, your point around hysteresis entirely supports my case: it's pure inference since it reflects only an effect, not the cause. Out of curiosity and my own personal vested interest, I've put myself in the hypothetical position of bearing the burden of proof (i.e., I've attempted to play BMW's role) and have trawled long and hard on the Net to find something that "I" could credibly conceive of using to prove tampering in such scenarios... and I've yet to find anything beyond inference (which, to me, isn't remotely close to enough to deny a warranty claim). I apologize if my position seems combative or argumentative--I'm not trying to be a d!ck and, while I'd rather not be proven wrong since it impacts me personally, I am entirely open to it and will readily concede my position. But, I haven't seen any technology that nudges me in that direction... yet. |

And on the judge, jury and executioner (creative license on my part there), I completely agree. I've only heard of it happening but no insight into the process or verdict. |

I'll say this ... 2 F10 M5's ... both with piggies and zero issues. 5 "tuned" F10 M5 owners (personally known to me) .... 5 blown engines.

To add to your list: 3 x F10 M5s, 2 x F06 M6 GCs, 1 x X5M and my new girl. No issues. You seem very nice an' all but given what happens to people's engines when they get to know you, let's consider this our last interaction. |
