I don’t plan on doing any of that. Catless downpipes and I’m done.

Are you getting your ECU unlocked there? Any dynos?

Heading to AutoTalent in LA to get it bench flashed along with Dyno runs before and after

Keep us posted with the results. I suspect with BM3 Stage 2, downpipes and E30 you should make around 550whp

550whp only on a custom tune, check RK / paul jonhson customers on their IG's

130whp or so gains with just a tune? And on pump gas? I don’t think so.

Where are you pulling 130 from? You dont know what his base dyno run was pre-550hp. so for all you know the increase was only 90/100 - which matches nearly every tune out there. Context.

Check RK tunes video like i said, f80 put down 435whp stock, then after a custom tune he ended up with 535 on pump gas so yeah thats 100whp and its not the first time this happens, on full E these S55's put down around 550-570.

[Bimmer28312]

Yup I suspect I'd be around conservative 510hp on an e30 blend So anything more I'd obviously be happy with. Not a big concern as I'm just prepping my car to run full e85 custom tune by Cary Jordan.

Dynograph looks really smooth !

Are they capable of unlocking the 2020 M2 dme? If so, I’ll be sending mine out as soon as I get the car.

it's always been able BUT yes dme has to be removed and bench flashed. Obd isn't and probably won't be available for a looooong time

Some unlocking tools do not require removal of the DME, for example flex from magicmotorsports has a harness for it

My tuner did not remove my DME. They were able to hook up to it directly but the space is very tight so your tuner might choose to remove a couple of components to get to the DME and take it out.

You have to remove the DME only if you need to ship it (in case your tuner is too far), otherwise is enough to move the intercooler pipes to access to the DME connectors and flash it.
It's a 30 mins job (plus the time of flashing).

[McLaren720s]

I feel like the tune changed a couple of things in terms of driving dynamics: 1) made the car feel “lighter” (due to increased throttle response and extra power) and 2) even more playful because the rear moves around even more and you have to modulate the throttle more.

This for me makes the car overall feel even more alive and engaging without even taking into consideration the raw power gains or straight line speed increase.

I also have the exhaust flaps permanently on and the bit of extra sound, especially from the throttle blips downshifts are particularly satisfying. Even when cruising there’s a bit of extra rumble compared to stock.

I am not going to argue, but sorry, I am not going to believe that either

Check the other thread where someone else made 523whp with a tune and catless DP's which makes sense since catless DP's add around 30whp.

I was probably thinking 93 or E85 numbers on a stock car. I think that is more 530-580 whp range.
