So, good point! Wedge is tried and true. I read up on them and even that Mike guy from X-PH was saying that he got their tune. As I think more about your situation, and mine, eventually it matters not which platform we go with, even Mission Performance, because we are going to be at the mercy of one tuner, one way or another, by virtue of the custom tune route. It is the tuning entity that matters more than the platform.
However I wouldn't worry about the boy racer aspect of BootMod3. If anything that's a positive because the last thing they want is boy racers pissing on their brand in Facebook or Instagram or TikTok haha. In fact if you think about it, this explains why they build such robust fool proof technology as well and focus on customer service. Boy racers are a fickle demographic; they either love you, or hate you, collectively haha. What matters is that BM3 make a serious product which attracts tuning name brands like Paul and Cary (but then again, so does MHD) and their customer service is beyond awesome. Check out some of the threads here on BM3 and I am blown by how responsive they are working with their users. MHD is an older name, and initially I considered them but the customer experience of BM3 made me change my mind. However one can also reason that MHD makes such an awesome product that their users don't even run into snags so that's why we don't see the same frequency of threads regarding dealing with MHD
Either way Alkesander, you won't go wrong. Spin the BMW Roundel and follow your heart (and pocket). |
You nailed the pros and cons, and correct in observation that we're basically shopping based on the same principles.
Let me know how yours turns out, and I'll do the same. At this point I have to wait for the downpipe to get here before trying the tune, since I want to make sure I dont run into the CEL issue.
In the mean time, I have to figure out if the Dinan V2 bypass plug will be sufficient, or if I need to uninstall the entire tuner.
Maybe XPH Mike has some insight into that
