Best tuning software?

Ferdi_bimmer · 07-16-2021, 10:09 PM

I got pretty comfortable coding through ncsexpert and using the bmw tools provided by bimmergeeks but after searching all day im confused on how to get into tuning.
Most step by step processes I found were just flashing the ecu, which was good to learn, but what software can you use to actually look at the map and change parameters. I found ecuworx but does that only work on M engines? I have a 328i and will learn on that. Also what is the price range if the software isn't free?
Sorry to sound like a noob I just really want to get into tuning. Thanks

What is your budget? Try the TOAD Pro, around $250 or something... it's designed to provide you with complete diagnostics, even beyond OBD2, also include tuning and optimization features, compatible with many vehicles, and easy to use. A powerful tool to me honestly
