2007-2013 M3 Performance Package (Tune + DCT)

Product Review (submitted on November 6, 2014):

I love my E92 but I hate it’s factory performance is a struggle when the car when it comes off the lot. Once you begin tuning it becomes a new beast and something that’s actually enjoyable to drive — this is why just 5 hours after taking delivery of my car I was at Benvo of BPM Sport’s house getting a tune.

I didn’t have exhaust yet, but I knew I was doing full Akra soon, therefore I went straight for the stage 2 — I also had him do the combox retrofit for bluetooth audio and iPhone integration. My car went into production in June of 2010, hitting dealerships in July, therefore I didn’t have the combox that was introduced in September to allow iPod functionality to work with the iPhone 5/5S.

All in all, even with it being dark out, it wasn’t long before we were back on the road. I think it maybe took 2 hours; spent some time looking at his cars also.

After all was said and done, we went on a test drive. The car was night and day different, it wasn’t the same car at all. It pulled harder, it was noticeably faster, and the euro-traction control was everything. I also had him do some cool stuff like my mirrors auto-fold and windows roll up when I hold the lock button down on the remote.

I still believe my favorite part of the tune is the tighter steering, the factory steering is too loose and doesn’t feel right for the car. When we were working on mine he was talking about how they were the first to ever tune the steering and it was because he shared the same sentiment about how horrible the factory steering was; it just feels right after he worked his magic on it.

And the DCT tune is everything, if you have a DCT.

If you’re wondering if the tune is worth the price, it 100% is.
