Best tune?

I currently have a jb4, but am looking for a real flash tune. I've been looking at dme tuning, bpmsport and vf engineering. Does anyone have any recommendations?

OP I don't know where you are at, but the best is to find a reputable local tuner who can tweak the tune to your specific car.

there is no best tune. All of the tuners can get these cars to pretty much wherever you want it, customer service is what matters.

DME tuning is a vague statement .. Some DME tunes are not reliable and even dangerous.

Andrew, I know you guys make great products because I have seen past reviews of people happy with your products. However, I haven't seen any reviews of your F10 M5 OBD2 Flash tune. Do you have a shop car that this was tested on? BPM is another company that has caught my interest because he actually goes out and races other cars using his tunes. I live in an extreme heat and high humid environment, and want a tune that doesn't have hiccups in the heat.

i agree with the customer service post, everyone pretty much has similar power and as far as i know we don't have 1 tuner with a pattern of busted motors. I think we have found the limit of safe and the owner can choose to test the limits if thats what he wants

Links for what? Lol I’m telling you from what I seen and been thru myself. I never trash talk any brand but the problems I had from when I had the car flashed from Dme tuning was a shit show. They call all the other tuners to fix their problems when they can’t figure it out. But hey that’s my opinion just how a lot of people had Dme tunes and no problems at all. But remember you only see/hear the good not the bad!

Had the car tuned for 1 month. It was in the shop for 3 weeks. Brand new only 3kmiles on the car couldn’t get rid of check engine light bought new downpipes it went away, car would go in neutral at random times had to have clutch re adapated, car kept backfiring they put brand new spark plugs still didn’t go away, tried to reflash thee car and put new file then it wouldn’t come out of drivetrain malfunction for damn near a week till a guy from “Russia” was able to fix the code. Lol biggest joke ever. Then after that the fuel injectors were all bad had to be replaced which they offered to pay for but I went through a BMW SA I know instead. Some people have good experiences but mine were terrible plain and simple. I personally wouldn’t recommend them for shit!
