Some BMW dealers are using Carbahn now instead of Dinan or at the same time.

Stage 1 is rated at 471 hp and 509 lb/tq, on 93 oct. They also have Burble exhaust option.

I will post my feedback once I get my car back on Friday/Saturday.

Just so happened, I had a work commit and had to cancel my Dinan appointment. Spent the weekend doing some more research.... installed Carbahn on my M2C Tuesday.

Oh wow, I can't wait to get my car back. Did you get the warranty option I am assuming, how the car feels? big difference?

Well can I switch my vote from BM3 to Mission Performance? LoL

As much as I would like to tune, the warranty issues are preventing me.

Perhaps after the warranty expires?

F82Tazmanian · 10-27-2020, 01:23 PM

Mine isn't installed yet but Id imagine you are looking at 116-117 trap to around 122-123.

Ill be going full E85 though so hopefully ill see 127-129 in my texas DA.

Skip the 93 octane and directly go to OTS E30. Runs much smoother and much more power. Stage 1 93 runs like shit on pure 93, so need to supplement with some E85.

Don't have lot E85 near me is only reason otherwise I'd go E30. Unless there's another way? Gallon VP race fuel?

yes, you can always mix in high octane Sunoco fuel to get your octane number up. Sad that CT still has no E85 gas stations.

Depends on the tune.

OTS tunes will be 121-122 vs others at 123-124

Also depends on the DA

If you have no race fuel(40 minutes away) and no e85(1 hour away), but have access to 93. What would you get?

Maybe 93 with a bottle of octanium unleaded, or you can flash the 91 tune.
