Have you done anything with high flow cats as opposed to going catless? Also, interested in your tune!

[@jjp9595]

I have a South Africa spec 125i coupe with DISA. Did the BimmerLabs free tune and that enabled my DISA and got a lot more power (like a 130i hatch). Now that’s 265HP I think. Is your tune fundamentally different? I also did a decat on the stock headers. Big note: I run E70+ stock standard on the car as I own an Ethanol company. Do you do Ethanol/FlexFuel tunes for this car?! :D

[@brokenbavariane9032]

Got them about 2,000 miles ago and oh my god they are so crazy, the sound is amazing and the pulls now are so much harder. They bolted up super easily. If you want to do a prototype tune for mine with catless I would be down to have you tune mine just let me know if that’d be possible. Pops like crazy but I want to be able to tune for only certain rpms and also my car has 213,XXX miles and still runs extremely strong. Did active headers, full straight pipe as well as charcoal delete, mishimoto intake boot, and k and n filter like you my car sounds amazing and I love it man. Everything you have ever mentioned bout these is true g props to you and helping keep me updated 🙏🏼

Hey Dean, I'm in Australia and I have a 2007 523i e60 LCI. I believe the engine is a n53 but unsure, is there a tune to get more power out of this engine as it's got the SMG transmission but REALLY lacks in power.

Does the tune work on n52 3.0si? And are you just removing the cars? Or doing a full header without cats

1. Update to the 3 stage manifold if applicable (N52 vs N53) 2. Dodgy cat removal to open up exhaust "makin' it a lot more better" 3. Unlock the "full power" with a MSD70 (only) complete tune.

Question, what about an N54 manifold swap vs the 3 stage manifold? Is the 3 stage better than the N54 intake?

[@brandonsever2576]

Late response, sorry. Been researching this and all the dyno charts I've seen show the N54 manifold gains torque everywhere over a stock manifold, but it's only better than a 3 stage way up in the high rpms. A 3stg manifold provides larger gains anywhere under about 6500rpm, and the N54 is better above 6500, especially if you raise the limiter to over 7k. N54 is best suited to a manual trans and a short final drive ratio
