You have to understand that a statement like that is very very hard to swallow for any BMW owner here. You are saying that the stock car knocks all the time, but yet, I've never heard of anyone complaining about how their stock car drives. As a matter of fact, most people here are looking for smoothness of their tune, comparable to stock.
Note: I am not saying you are wrong, or trying to attack you personally. I am just saying that it is bit difficult to come to terms with "Stock ECU is not capable of doing timing correctly"

I am not saying that. I am saying the factory timing control is meant to work for most stock cars. What you do by upping the boost (sometimes 2x or more then stock) is forcing the dme to do what it does on a stock car in bad conditions, and judging by all those logs, it doesnt do a good job. Also those drop out on a stock tune are far less harmful then drop outs on a car running more boost.
