Hope u didn't get the tune based on BS feedback from Mr. Karim's claim that it adds like a few hundred HP! The white wrap he's planning on getting for his car probably has better odds of adding serious HP than this ridiculous tune he's been pushing on this site - Mr. Karim, you work for BMS??

So disappointing. Wonder if they accept returns. I have yet to install mine. So much for their claim of 630whp.

Agree the claims are off based on what you saw, but I'm fairly certain the claims are made off 93 octane. As well, the delta of 50HP is from a dynojet, not a mustang dyno, which reads lower. Even with both of those considerations, you'll probably end up a bit lower than 50, but I think that explains a bit. Plus all cars are different.

BMS is set to +2.25 PSI over stock by default (+2.25 psi is for 91 octane).
You can plug the tune to the laptop and change it to +2.5 PSI over stock (+2.5 psi is for 93 octane). You can also set it to +3 PSI over stock (+3 psi is for 94-100 octane), and there is a huge difference between 2.25 and 3, try that. I will dyno my car very soon, and post my results. KKABBA do you want to talk about that bro? You need a bro hug?

I had a bad experience with Dinan, didn't get much gains with my 750i. Also, you still get better numbers than competition package for under $500. I say, change your psi lvl to 2.5-3, but you won't be able to use 91 octane no more. |

I don't really have anything for or against Dinan or BMS, but on a $100k+ car about the only piggyback type of tune I'd be comfortable with is one where they piggyback a new ECU, one that can adapt in real time to engine/conditions. Those are going to be more expensive than the Dinan, and have no warranty. That said, there is no denying that BMS has a good record (and reputation), but again in the realm of $100k+ cars I have to ask if it's truly wise. |

PP-Performance is one of the worlds best imo, I don't see it in Canada.

So, who is adjusting the setting and to what ? Terry at BMS says the control units are pre-set and the ONLY change that is to be made is the "Feature user from 0 to 1" |

Regardless, these ECU's are difficult for tuners to create performance software for, we all know that.
Anyone who has modded their cars in the past know that correct software is KEY to any add on's. Regardless of who's setup is putting out what. BMS is an in-expensive upgrade when there is nothing else available on the market. Even though I have never been a fan of "piggyback" setups BMS produces great gains on N54 engines and is user friendly which is cool. I would rather have support and warranty backing by a big name tuner like Dinan and have the peace of mind everything will be ok, especially for a car under warranty. |

Also, I don't understand why anyone would use 91 octane on M6

I have emails from Terry saying DO NOT ADJUST so I don't know who is telling you this. Don't say most users because that's just someone making their own decision, not who created the file. Someone needs to post up a dyno run with their settings adjusted higher and maybe it will end all the questions. I'm not going to raise the settings and cause something to fail in the engine. Who's going to back that repair up at the dealership ? Not BMS. Last edited by EuroKar; 02-18-2014 at 12:42 PM.. |

A picture of an M5 with words under saying JB4 and 100 octane. You would think that since BMS is in California and knowing that pump fuel is 91 here. That if they wanted specific settings to be adjusted by us the user based on fuel octane, it would be in some type of instructions or something document at least. Seems simple enough. I'm done ranting Last edited by EuroKar; 02-18-2014 at 01:40 PM.. |
