@PPMedia did they tell you what the KW and NM were after this was done?

Hey! In short nope, since they data log. But the estimates on my car was around 420hp / 625nm. It can be more or less once you actually get it on a dyno all depending on the upkeep, odo etc etc

Nicely done, well done to Wulf...they definitely knocked it out the park judging from your feedback! Given the car arouns 200km to fully adapt and avoid Sport+ while you getting used to it.

These things swing like animals when the software is done and everyday, every drive is only going to get more interesting and DAMN FUN!!!!
Enjoy bud!

You're spot on with the car adapting, I've driven around 350+km now and over the last few days you pick that up, it's hard to explain but you just feel it.

As for the estimated figures, I still haven't got it on the dyno yet, been too busy and joined the guys who came down with the Thunder Tour in Cape Town over the weekend, around 60+ cars. Had a small playfull 40roll with a 5.0 GT Fastback from the crew and pulled away from him, nothing serious though and the Metro in Cape Town was all over the convoy. Besides that, another 40roll with an A45 AMG, also pulled him but I let off rather quick since I'm not one for speeding with traffic on the road, how some people drive is beyond me but I would say the figures are within that range given the cars I've had a play with.

What I've learned after getting this done for anyone who wants to know:

Fuel consumption - fml... There's no such thing.
Tyres - RIP.
Traction control - Don't turn it off when you're flooring it. Off the line, around even the slightest bends, even step-down at 100km/h gets the back out.
Break-boost - Just don't do it...
Traction light on dash - Christmas tree effect all day long.
Will you have the fastest car around - Probably not, but you'll enjoy every second of driving it.
Is it worth doing - Hell yeah

Questions for you guys though on here:

Anyone go to stage 2+ or 3 yet?
Is it worth it? Coz for me Stage 2 is the sweet spot on these cars to fully enjoy them. I'm pretty sure once you go further you're gonna ruin any chance for a fun daily you thought you had.

Great stuff man, you 100% right...

I had Stage 2 on mine...with a few further upgrades but more for reliability and i could not be happier. However, one thing was hampering the car was the iStep software was not updated, I did this before selling it and it transformed it behaviour quite a bit. The car's exhaust was even deeper and has more of those factory burbles, the different drive modes were insane and more pronounced and the new owner says it feels like a brand new car all over again.
Maybe look into that, check if you can get it done HOWEVER not now as you will need a new map for it to be done BUT something to check out if you happy with it is Stage 2 for now.
my next move was going to be hybrid turbo and possibly meth...but I had flex fuel plugs and bigger cooler already so TMAP upgrade and turbo then remap for some more fun...

Hey!

Apparently, my iStep was done when one of the previous owners got the MPerformance exhaust (I thought it's Akra, they just slapped on the Akra carbon tip covers so a tad disappointed there) and ACS kit fitted with BMW so I was super happy about that.

I actually asked Wulf about the meth and Neville said he's not keen on it since they've seen too many cars burn out. I told him they must have mixed incorrectly since the 50/50 can't ignite from what I understand but I might be wrong there.

For now though I'm leaving it as is, I have a HUGE urge to get a M2 front bumper for cosmetics but can't source one yet. Also not sure what other tweaks are needed to get it mounted.
