Do you guys notice the engine burns more engine oil after tunes? I've burnt 2 Qt of oil in ~4500 miles. I know it's still acceptable but I never had to top it off before the tune. I will also check if there's any leak elsewhere but I doubt that's the case.

You know i was just thinking the same thing. Have had to add several quarts this year since the tune. Just got the oil serviced a day ago.

I would say it’s very possible if you drive it pretty aggressive as there is most likely more blow by with the increased boost. That doesn’t seem all that awful and still pretty good and I would trade that for the added power!

Yea, I am thinking to switch to 0W-40 to see if it can reduce or ease the issue a little bit

I’m switching to M1 0-40 next week. Hopefully it helps.
One gripe I have about my BM3 OTS tune is that there seems to be some pedal delay. This happens in both comfort and sport modes. Pretty annoying. |

Yes, my car has similar problem with BM3. To me it's more like it doesn't like to downshift, or it has a split second delay on downshift.

Also, I felt like 0W-40 did help with consumption, but never did any definitive test. It just seemed to not need a top off as often or at all on 0w-40. Thought it was in my head until I went back to 5w-30 last oil change.

You guys can also provide a full minute log lets say before you start the pedal and log it for PTF. Email it to support@protuningfreaks.com with as much info as possible they're constantly improving the OTS maps as the community reaches out.

I have a 2019 X5 50i I had tuned (Velos Stage 2) that I believe they increased the boost from 15 to 20psi. Dyno said 545awhp so about 150 awhp gain (456HP = 387awhp). My question is can I turn up the boost more? To what level? Will I need anything i.e. special fuel or other mods? Lastly, could this company just have increased my boost and charged me $3k?? https://youtu.be/coU4dZRULd0 That’s dyno pull. If you click on my name you can see other videos. One is me seeing what the top speed was before the tune. Not trying it now that it’s a whole second 0-60mph faster! Watch to see the top speed! Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! |

Highly recommend you go back and get it dyno stock for baseline and compare your gains. Either way 3k is INSANE! Being that these cars are just out, how long did it take for them to tune you? Did you see different plots throughout your time there ? Did you see them making adjustments ? The GPS Performance Meter others are using these days is called "Dragy" you can find it on amazon.

The same goes for dyno numbers since every dyno is different, and most will read differently on any given day due to so many variances. Your tuner can target more load, however generally the tunes are octane limited, so there isn't a magical way to keep adding power unless you add octane to handle it. Most bmws will automatically adjust knock sensors and feed in more timing and/or boost if you add better fuel. Try a few gallons of e85, some torco fuel additive (not garbage octane booster you find at auto parts shops), or true race gas if it's in your area.

If you upgrade the turbos, you're going to want to do the intake, dps and possibly intercooler.

Can you get banned for posting top speed runs on public roads ?

Seems there are multiple reports of reduced throttle response with BM3. This sounds contrary to what a tune should do and increase throttle response for a sportier drive.
This is putting me off from pulling the trigger. Are there any more developments on this issue? |

I didn't notice decreased response with BM3. Also, saw a license in the classifieds for $450. I'd jump on it if you're thinking about it.
