N20 0-60 and 1/4 mile VBOX performance testing!
Hey guys,
This was posted in another thread but really belongs here. Just some quick testing to show you guys what potential the N20 motor has. This was done using a 100% stock 2012 F30 328i sedan on 93 octane fuel. First some stock runs then some tuned runs minutes later on the same road using the BMS N20 Stage1 tuning system. Pretty amazing results tune only. And I heard they just installed and dynod the car with the ER downpipe. Will post those results as soon as I get the OK. The 4-banger will be in the 12s before we know it! |

What kind of boost increase over stock? Stock boost is pretty high to begin with. Can we see dyno with just the tune? Downpipe will be nice, but I'd like to see just tune, then DP to see what is going on. |

Are you doing any data logging while driving under normal conditions? Can you post knock counts please, both stock and with your tune? How about waste gate and injector duty cycles?
Your post describes this as a "tune." Is it an ECU flash or a piggyback of some sort? |

Woah woah woah, hold on! Is that 0-60mph in 5.4 seconds, stock?!
And 4.9s tuned?! : Flappy paddles or DS? Do the paddles make it shift faster or have I heard wrong? Does D and DS shift just as fast?

As I consider which tune to put on my car, if any, I will want to know how safe it is. To me as a consumer (whether I am right or wrong) knock counts and duty cycles tell me how close to the edge of safety a tune is. After all it is ultimately my checkbook that would suffer the consequences of a bad tune, right? |

Hopefully somebody will install this product, connect the car to some monitoring equipment on a dyno, and report their findings. I understand your need to maintain a competitive advantage since you are likely one of the first to market a product for the N20. What is BMS return policy? |

Is this tune more the equivalent of a JB2 or a JB+ in terms of how it works and how it's installed.

Can you post a dyno showing AFR's and boost pressure under high load conditions? For example, 2,500 RPM with 85% throttle? That would be very helpful!
