Lots of mentions of DMS here, they seem to have a bit of a reputation for "inflating" their RR figures.
This video for example https://youtu.be/1mRr6Ljh2P0
Just check out the comments.

He's had his car mapped elsewhere now and has a more realistic figure.

I'll go with MHD or BM3 for my M135i, it's completely standard, so don't see the need for any custom mapping

My 335d had a DMS map on it when i bought it as it happens ... no idea what they said it was supposed to be mind.



Blue line is DMS
Black line is back to standard
Red line is BWChiptune - done remotedly as Jason was in Spain. The thing was ballistic afterwards rofl

No hardware changes between maps, so just EGR/DPF removed and 236k miles hehe

For a standard M135i however, i would still just go with MHD.

I've just noticed something really creepy, which someone needs to explain.

All references to BW in the initial 5, 6 and 7th posts other than mine have changed to "CPC in Amersham". They used to read BW. And no edit notes beneath, despite the change being made very recently ( as I read this back not too long ago ). Someone has changed them covertly, and the content.

This is wizardry.

Can't imagine what that 375bhp 335d is like lol. I bet it's a beast biggrin

In reference to your final statement, mine is just a standard F32 440i ('19 plate so no MPPSK available) and I've done a lot of research in the past few days into BM3 and MHD, and I'm leaning towards the latter. Jason at BW tune sounds awesome, but I like the idea of a tune I can take off easily if need be.

Really? That's odd. I have heard good things about them too, though. Appreciate this is vague as hell, but I recall reading a thread a few weeks back about someone with an extremely awkward problem that nobody was able to solve, but CPC managed to. I just logged the name in my head as a useful place to know.

A moderator has been changing these posts. looks like some very shady / delicate relationships going on. The tuning business is full of false promises and tricks of the trade.

Did you get anywhere with tuning? I was at BW Chiptune this week getting my gearbox mapped...

No joke. The thread references of CPC at the start were all originally BW Chiptune, but have been cleaned, tidied and edited. Only a matter of time before my responses go the same way, but at least you knew.

Pretty pathetic actually. I'll make sure I stay away from CPC in Amersham after this poor conduct.

I have looked at the post history and there have been no edits or post modifications in this thread by the mod team or anyone else from PH.

The only changes to posts have been made by the user who made the post and are indicated with a footnote.
