Which tune are you running

voyagergab · 05-09-2018, 02:00 AM

Curious which engine tune are you running. And to see what's the relative distribution.
Please post comments with any issues you are seeing.

Nezil · 05-09-2018, 02:25 AM

Thought I was having issues with knock, but I now don't think I am, so pretty happy so far.

TT1351 · 05-09-2018, 04:01 AM

No issues with Hex Stage 2. My only problem is that I can't keep my for out of it, love it!

Yep AA is short for Active Autowerke

voyagergab · 05-09-2018, 01:49 PM

Thanks. Looks like we need an Admin to update a poll.

jessetaylor1 · 05-09-2018, 06:32 PM

Hex Stage 1 currently. Once catless DP arrives next week I'll be going Stage 2.

I'm so happy I went with this tune over any other. I couldn't be happier.

arwin · 05-09-2018, 09:40 PM

this will be an interesting thread.

looks like vf is in the lead for now (vf ftw!), but I think bm3 will soon catch up.

Yeah it's an interesting race to follow

SeanWRT · 05-10-2018, 01:06 AM

VF and AA tunes are more popular than forum makes you think. Their customers are more toward set it and forget it type that have no interest in datalogging and fine adjusting to log, and thus have much less things to say on forum.

Personally, I urge everybody monitors car's condition. It takes a lot more than vendor having one development car and "intensively" testing it to make a great tune.

Especially with car like M2 that don't have much headroom to tune, datalog at any cost please, even if it means to strap a JB4 for log purpose only.

You're right. The set it and forget it thing is good for people like me.

Although, I do wish I had the data logging capability like BM3. Just to see exactly what's going on if I wanted to.

I know one guy has or is about to combine his AA tune with MHD logging capabilities. BMW DIY GUY is the guy to speak to about that. Check his posts.

AA will adjust your tune if you have custom turbos or a built motor with custom turbos. They just do not want any other tuners having access to their platform. Don't ask me why!! Also APR is the same way in the Audi Vw world and their cars put out great hp numbers OTS.

BMW DIY Guy · 05-10-2018, 11:21 AM

I am running the tune from Active Autowerke in my F32 435i.

For logging, I am going to be using the setup from MHD for logging only, as Torque Pro doesn't appear to be entirely accurate, plus is missing some vital PIDs.

1QuikWS6 · 05-10-2018, 11:38 AM

F32 N55 running AA Stage2 Tune 3.5bar sensor - still use TorquePro to datalog - good nuf for me

voyagergab · 05-10-2018, 11:48 AM

Pardon my ignorance once more.
I guess I fall into the category of people who would prefer to set it once and forget about it and enjoy the car.
What's the purpose of constant data logging?
To catch any problems with the tune?

For me, I'd just want to make sure all is good with the car.
