A few more specialists confirmed, that 3psi won't do harm. Terry earned a high reputation, no car was damaged by BMS. Car runs way better than stock, no regrets here.
Do you have an engineering degree? Or maybe a dyno chart of your car, to see your curve?
If not, then all I see is a troll.
Mr-Karim, I don't see anything wrong with what gmd2003 is trying to tell you. I am an engineer but not mechanical one. I'm electrical design engineer but my knowledge in engineering tells me everything is designed with a limit. you cannot push the limit more that what it's designed for. M6 by itself has more than enough power as you call it "stock". most of the dyno charts over the internet prove that the actual power/torque is even more than what BMW claims. BMW has an expert engineering team who designed this engine and I think we have to trust them if this engine was able to be pushed more, they would do. bottom line this is your car and your money and you can do whatever you want, but I think most of us are going to enjoy this car as a DD car and not track car so what's the reason to have lots of mod and gain some numbers like 700+HP?? if you read the User's manual they have mentioned that this is not a racing car! sorry my friends but I just feel people are trying to warn you and there is no advantage or disadvantage for them if you drive a stock car or fully mod car. I'm driving a stock car and do not want to do any modification. If I was really looking for just power and numbers I would go for Porsche 911 turbo s or even GTR, but I believe M6 is the combination of sporty and luxurious.
Enjoy your beautiful car
The funny thing is
A .)my car isn't stock ( I have Supersprint DP's and Gruppe M intake ).
B.) I was just suggesting that he follow Terry's on advice about his product lol
The ECU can not adapt fueling and timing enough when it's being tricked into + 3psi , and thus needs
really high octane to prevent knocking . Terry has publicly said this and rec people not turn it up that much until he can actually gain control over timing AND fueling ( which will likely be never )
I'm not against tuning , I'm just smart about it , and believe in the do it right or don't do anything approach . The OP would make more power on 94 octane, and not have a horrible.hole in his midrange power curve if he would turn the settings back down , but he won't listen .
