Kerma v. DUDMD for 328d

I have searched the forum and seen a lot of great things about both. Hoping to get some insight from people who have run one or both of these tunes on their 328d.

Currently, I am leaning towards DUDMD since I may one day delete and that way I can just upgrade to the Stage 2+

Thoughts?

I definitely recommend DUDMD. They put out the highest figures and their customer service is top notch too. I am currently running stage 2+ with deletes which makes this wagon pretty quick

The problem with comparing aftermarket tunes is there's virtually no user data (other than sporadic single points) on them regarding things like EGTs, boost levels, fuel economy, regen intervals, ect. I haven't seen anybody post that stuff other than myself for JR's Stage 2 and KermaTDI's Stage 1 and Stage 2.

I have lots of track logs on the tunes I've had, but haven't seen anything similar from other tunes.

I need to find your posts for KermaTDI and JR Stage 2. Would love to see the EGT, boost level, etc from these tunes.

Thank you!

Thank you!
I posted a lot of that in the BMW diesel FB group (which I got banned from, presumably because my objective data and experiences didn't line up with the "popular" tuners or BMW diesel myths). I'll try and put something together for this forum.

I totally agree.

That group is more deadly than cancer. The admin that runs the group is pro AArod, JR, Strutmonkey. That douche even openly admit he works for Strutmonkey as social media promoter. You can't get an honest answer or opinion from that group anymore. As soon as you post something negative about his "buddies" shops, you are going to get the ban hammer.
