N54 Flash Tune..What do you recommend?

Ptuh Ptuh · 08-24-2012, 04:35 PM

So I recently purchased by 2009 e90 335ix m sport package a few weeks ago and already want to tune it. What is the best bang for the buck flash tune out there? The popular one I heard of so far are COBB, Eurocharged and Dinan.

Procede Rev 3 along with a Procede DME flash

Cobb, GIAC, Dinan, or Eurocharged would be your options for a 'flash' tune. I say Cobb or GIAC will be your best two options.

JB4 and Procede are both piggybacks... I'm just saying.

Definetely Cobb as flashing solution.

JamesM3M5 · 08-24-2012, 05:54 PM

BuraQ has good results from his Renntech flash. GIAC is also a good one, no?

But the Cobb is the most development/mod friendly, since pro-tuners are available to tweak the OTS maps according to your fuel available, including E85, and other bolt-on mods such as downpipes, intercoolers, intakes, etc. And if you want to sell the Cobb AP, you just uninstall it from your ECU and it's ready for sale. Other flash tunes have no resale capability.

Just curious, why limit yourself to just a flash? Stacking JB4+AP or Procede+Procede Flash are becoming quite common depending on needs such as methanol integration or the new Vishnu FlexFuel E85 setup.

Even just a JB4 or Procede are well known to be reliable, high HP tunes. Been running the Procede for almost a year, couldn't be happier with it for drivability, power, smoothness, gauge hijack functions, data logging (well, a couple tweaks to the UI would help), and instant on-the-fly map switching makes it better for me than a straight flash.

Procede and JB4 are piggybacks. Go with Cobb for flash tune.

benzy89 · 08-24-2012, 06:11 PM

COBB

GIAC stage 1! Smoother than stock, stronger than Dinan w/o any of the multitude of problems other tunes have.

enrita · 08-24-2012, 06:16 PM

Giac is a great flash but lacks the ability to flash it yourself , free maps , custom maps , read codes and logging than cobb has.

cvc 22349a · 08-24-2012, 06:35 PM

Not everyone wants to dick around with those things.
Again if you wnat the most problem free and consistant performing tune for the N54, check out GIAC.
