But remember you only see/hear the good not the bad!
This ... so spot on .........taboo to discuss tuned blown engines on here although some have recently.

We were the shop that sold this DME Tune to this customer. The car ran fine for a few weeks and all a sudden he started having issues. We found he had one bad spark plug and replaced it at 11pm at night for him. Then he started having issues again after he did a 200mph run that he was very excited about. We decided to reflash the car with the new OBD tuning cable and the coding somehow was corrupted. We even offered him a rental car while we sorted out the coding issue which took 6 days, not 3 weeks. The “Russian” guy had to fix the coding which he did without having to remove and drill the DMEs. Once we reflashed the car, we started having injector issues which we informed the customer about. At this point the customer decided to take the car to BMW to resolve the injector issues. Furthermore, we gave him a full refund on the tune and also gave him a brand new set of spark plugs which we didn’t charge him for. We try our best to make all of our customers happy but that wasn’t the case in this situation. We also tuned his friends car the following day which has had no issues at all. Sometimes there are inherit problems with the car that we cannot foresee. Also, all of his coil packs were rusted from the car sitting around for a year which we advised him of but he didn’t want to change them (pic attached). In any event, we tried our best to resolve his issues but the customer did not want for us to do that. Sorry for the bad experience that you had. We also installed your trunk spoiler and M performance steering wheel with new paddle shifters last Saturday at NO CHARGE as a nice gesture.

Lol somebody is feeling some type of way... 😂😂 but yea the coils were rusted which your Bmw tech said it’s normal for that and coils weren’t the issue. But then we all found out the injectors were blown on a car with 3k miles a month after your tune.... Why would they even be willing to pay for that type of repair if it had nothing to do with them guys? Lol let’s all be honest now brother. Like I said some people have good experiences but mine sucked with Dme tuning and I wouldn’t recommend them to nobody. But since were all being honest now it’s like dealing with a 3 ring circus with “Above And Beyond Performance” and “Dme Tuning”. Both of them would text back responses to my problems saying “Shit sounds weird man I don’t know what you want me to do” ... lol fix the fucking car and get it out of a drivetrain malfunction it was stuck in for damn near a week and put it back to stock! And yea I did expect a refund after dealing with that idk who else wouldn’t.

How does a car with 3000 miles have coils that look like this? I would be pissed about this and make BMW change all of them under warranty. I can’t see how this would help the performance of the car especially with a tune.

What you just become a member just to comment on this ? Idk but I wish I knew how to upload pics so you can see what his Bmw tech said that it’s normal and happens from humidity , he sees it all the time work with no problems and sometimes they could fail... also I was never advised to change the coil packs, these guys were trying to figure out what was wrong with the car so they said “maybe” it’s from the coils but we’re not sure lol. My response was i don’t want to spend over $1k on something that you guys aren’t even FOR SURE is the problem. They were clueless about how to fix it until the BMW tech said run a test on the injectors and yup they were all bad! But if coils was the problem it would have been changed and fixed. But obviously it was a lot bigger of an issue then the coils. Don’t let him fool you!

not to point fingers but before tuning a car there are basics to replace/modify.....example;

-check plugs, replace every <10k miles and gap them to 0.020
-replace coils if you get misfires still
-upgrade clutch /replace dct fluid and filters
-run quality injector cleaner
-run proper increased octane (use octane booster or race fuel mix) recommended
- If running JB4 use proven BEF
- etc

I always make sure everything is mint condition when getting ready to do any kind of upgrade. But I can say these cars are so tempermintal when pushing the limits, I've seen several tuned cars from every kind of tuner out there with some kind of engine failure. In all reality it's luck of the draw with these cars.
Good luck to everyone and can't wait to see everyone's builds as I'm sure we're gonna see some crazy builds sooner then later.

Lol this ain’t my first M car brotha I understand what your saying but no one would think to replace spark plugs after 3k miles on the car (tuner agreed no need just gap them 0.018) then misfired replaced all of them still had the issue. They tried Re-flashing it 5 times and fucked the Dme then finally figured out it was a lot bigger of issue then coils or spark plugs. Lol but yea never heard of running quality injector cleaner... especially with brand new car. But I agree @m6beast some cars agree with tunes and some don’t. Hopefully it’s not the car but we’ll see if the next tune does it tho..

Well on that note,if I were anyone on here don't pay any rediculous price for any type of used dinantronics software, because when they crap out on you like mine did..dinan won't stand behind it at all. You'll be left with an expensive paperweight .

I heard he went to Miami Performace Inc and got a bootmod3 tune through HCP and then the engine blew right after. He listed the car here for lease takeover and stated exactly this. Then he deleted it.

Long story short yes that is what happen, still wouldn't recommend DME just my opinion. That car has been gone for months got the F90 and can carless about all the gossip you guys love to do on here. But can for sure say MPI service sucked compared to Above&Beyond Performance that's a fact.
