Why why why?

I have finished break in period and started to look at mods for my f06. However, I was so disappointed by the truth there are just few companies making product for our stunning f06. Why why why??? Especially, I wanted to tune my engine, but there is almost no reliable brand has it.

I can feel your pain. When I had my 7 series I felt the same way. There are very few reasonably priced mods for upper level BMW's. I think it would be easier for you to find a tune for 3 series and lower level cars.

Because the 7, 6, and 5 are considered cars for more conservative luxury oriented customers. If anything you will find reasonable priced tunes for a 640i and 535i before you will for a V8 650i or 550i. That is because the inline-6 turbo is shared with lower level cars and has greater demand for tuning mods.

Your 6 series is already making in access of +400hp and +400 lb-ft. It is not starving for any power. If anything it needs a strict regiment of weight diet and probably suspension upgrades as well as sound dept.

Anyways good luck in your search

Yep, I have contact with Dinan asked about their tuning for 2013 650 Grancouoe. The guy from Dinan said they are are still under development for the tuning of n63tu. Hopefully, they can release some product soon.

Patience.

The mod/tuning cycle does not reach full bloom until at least the LCI, and most likely not until the next generation 6er is out.

The gran coupe is already an amazing car stock. Don't understand the frustration of not being able to tune it. There's the cost, reliability, and additional problems associated with tuning a car. You can end up being more unsatisfied with your tuned car than your stock one. Or...you can save the money and get the M6 instead.

Yep I agree with your point. My tuning doesn't mean to change lots of staffs and make the car unreliable. I just wanna to add little bit more power.
M6 is a great car but it is not a 27/7 daily drive for Ontario winter condition.
I gonna keep calm waiting for products for my GC and aiming to add one more new m3 in my garage.
