The assumption was crank needs to be at least micropolished or replaced but yeah if thats the only thing to realistically worry about I dont mind that possibility, hell even bending a rod and having to replace it I can stomach. I dont want to window the block or destroy the heads or anything. I'm not trying to break world records or race GTR's. I like power but love reliability more. Prob the wrong thread for me to ask whose OTS shelf "appears" to be the safest |
I try to steer clear of OTS tunes and go for a custom mapping that's tailored to the car. At minimum if you go with a OTS tune, data log the shit out of it and have the tuner review it for knock / detonation / air flow / timing ... etc |
What do you recommend as the best method for data logging? |
BM3 has the option to data log if you go that route. If you don't, could always use ENET with Ethernet to USB-C or lighting conversion and download Bimmerlink or Dashcommand.

They are also compatible over Bluetooth. I just find the direct connection to be the best method for real-time data and coding if you ever use BimmerCode
