You can get PTF tune that most of the m3s are running on this forum. Plus u can resell it.

Most importantly PTF is right here in GTA.

Would these tunes be covered by the Bmw factory warranty?

I can't find any stats (power and torque) gains on the pro tuning freaks website. Is this a piggy back or flash tune? If it's a flash tune how would you resell it? Thanks for the help.

Only thing I have done is AA midpipe and Eisenmann exhaust.

Interested in a tune though the notion that I'm most likely going to have to give up my warranty on a year old car is holding me back.

Been reading up on the PTF tune and it seems that you can revert to the stock map/tune easily in the event of a warranty issue. Although since the DME is unlocked they maybe able to see that.

There's always a chance they'll be able to detect it.
As for physically, I was told it would be hard to tell. Unlike the F10's DME, ours don't need to be drilled open.

It's easy to detect if they wanted to physically speaking according to many of the threads on this subject here. But dealerships aren't going to check the ECU for regular maintenance work unless something is wrong.

My plan is to wait till next spring before adding a tune. The rears are not going to cope well in winter running 265 treads. I also think theres few bugs they need to work out in sport plus mode as I run that with mdm a lot once the car is warmed up.

Pardon my ignorance but what will the tune give you? I mean if it's for a few hp, why bother? The car is already too powerful.

A tune roughly gives about a hundred extra horse power and torque. I'm used to the power and ready for more

I was satisfied and at times overwhelmed by the power/torque initially coming from the e92 but once I put 305s on, I realized I could use more.
