CarBahn Autoworks Flash Tune for F10 M5
Hi everyone,
Earlier this week we announced our new flash software for the F-series M3/M4, as well as the F-series M5/M6. There wasn't a post separately posted for the F10 board, so here it is! A quick introduction for those unfamiliar- CarBahn Autoworks is a company started by Steve Dinan after his departure from Chip Ganassi Racing. We are located in the Silicon Valley, and we are proud to offer maintenance and repair services, services of our engine shop, and racing team. Our engine shop is fully operational and "cranking" out anything from engine repair to full race motors with dry sump systems. Our race team is currently competing in IMSA with two Audi R8s! Getting back to the software: Application: F10, F06, F12, F13 Power gain: For non-Competition models Measured CarBahn rear wheel HP, 610 @ 6,100 RPM Corrected to CarBahn flywheel HP, 683 @ 6,100 RPM Measured CarBahn rear wheel torque, 620 @ 4,000 RPM Corrected Carbahn to flywheel torque, 694 @ 4,000 RPM Compared to factory claimed figures, we have achieved an +83hp/112lb-ft gain. For Competition models Measured CarBahn rear wheel HP, 620 @ 6,100 RPM Corrected to CarBahn flywheel HP, 694 @ 6,100 RPM Measured CarBahn rear wheel torque, 620 @ 4,800 RPM Corrected Carbahn to flywheel torque, 694 @ 4,800 RPM Compared to factory claimed figures, we have achieved a +67hp/101lb-ft gain. Our flash tuner tablet is capable of saving your factory tune so that you can re-flash back to stock at will, datalogging, checking and clearing faults, as well as other advanced diagnostic features. We are also happy to announce that we will mirror the factory warranty for cars still within the 4yr/50k factory new car warranty from BMW. We will be happy to answer questions below in the thread, or please feel free to give us a call at 650-495-0421. More information can also be had on our website: https://carbahnautoworks.com/product...ge-1-software/ Update: We are now offering an option to buy software with or without a warranty. The price breakdown for the tune without the warranty is as follows: • F8X M3/M4 - $750.00 for the software + $225.00 for the tablet (vs. $1500 and $1750 with warranty) • F Series M5/M6 incl. comp pkg cars - $1000.00 for the software + $225.00 for the tablet (vs. $2000 and $2250 with warranty) We are announcing a holiday sale, good until the end of the year. Software will be 15% off across the board. Flash tuner is exempt from the sale as we already are selling those at cost. Last edited by CarBahn Autoworks; 12-13-2018 at 11:55 AM.. |

I am surprised to see that it costs nearly three times more than an Open Flash Tablet and more than twice as much as the Bootmod3 application.
Also why would you need to offer to maintain the BMW factory warranty if your tunes are so safe and reliable? |

Why a difference between comp and non-comp. once new load targets are set it should be the same given all else is the same related to the engine.

The difference is simply put because it is easier to make slightly higher power because the car comes with more power from the OEM software. |

Thanks! We aren't in immediate need of one as we have a Competition test car already for software, but we will let you know if we need your help with testing in other areas of the car.. suspension, steering, etc..

Hi Everyone,
We have an exciting update regarding the recently released flash tunes from CarBahn AutoWorks. First, the price of our flash tuner tablets has dropped from $250 to $225. Next, we are now offering an option to buy software with or without a warranty. The price breakdown for the tune without the warranty is as follows: • F8X M3/M4 - $750.00 for the software + $225.00 for the tablet (vs. $1500 and $1750 with warranty) • F Series M5/M6 incl. comp pkg cars - $1000.00 for the software + $225.00 for the tablet (vs. $2000 and $2250 with warranty) Finally, we are offering an across the board discount of 20% on all Stage 1 software (software only, tuner price will still be $225) for the month of October. The discount applies whether you are buying the software with or without the warranty or with or without the flash tuner tablet. We appreciate all of the questions so far. Look forward to hearing your feedback. |

I'm interested in a tune for my 2014 Comp M5 however I'm concerned about your numbers because we don't have anyway of knowing the actual improvement to justify cost vs value. You haven't established the actual gain from your tune. You are starting with what BMW says the car has. How about a dyno from start and then a result after your tune. Everyone states our cars are under reported in terms of torque/hp.
Thanks. |

Have you posted any dyno charts? And how your dyno compares to mustang or dynojet numbers?
