PROcede = Very Happy Customer

After overcoming my brainfart during installation with the help of Shiv and Dustin, I've had a blast with my 335. I now need to come up with even more reasons to get in my car and drive around aimlessly. It is truly a very different vehicle from when it left the dealership a few weeks ago.

Yes, the enhanced power is unreal, but that is not all. One thing I have noticed is that the RPM structure per gear is much more fluid, which provides much smoother Up/Down shifting transitions. I get fewer RMP spikes when downshifting and I seem to get much more out of gears 1-3, especially 1 and 2. Not sure if I have explained this correctly, but it is the only way I can describe what I feel. Would love to understand the technical aspect of what is going on done here, it alone is worth the price of admission.

I've put about 150mi. on it over the last 2 days, so far no codes and having tons of fun. I could only imagine what V2 will bring us.

Shiv, Dustin and the Vishnu Team……Sensational job!


Just 2 pics:

Better get a V1 or some other detector if you do not have one already.

Where in Jersey are you? Your car looks like my twin especially now since you installed the Procede. You gotta get some blacklines though! Very nice.

I have the PROcede v1.47 since 3.500 km now. Pure fun, not a single problem. IMHO far the best mod existing for my car. I don't expect any reliability problems. Let's see how v2 behaves once it will be available . The knowledge of Shiv and the efforts spent from Vishnu in tuning the N54 make the PROcede to an unbeatable product. I enjoy my proceded 335i every single day.

Cheers
Eugen

Absolutely agree! I've had it installed for about 3,000 miles and not a single problem. Best mod I've ever done.

I too am in NJ (Freehold area). Been thinking about doing the proceed for a while. Did either of you upgrade your exhaust as well?

Wow, that PROcede is so tempting... I have only had my car for 2 weeks and I thought the mod bug would take a bit longer to set in... so much for that theory...

Not yet. Though I'm thinking about getting the Ultimate Racing exhaust sometime after the new year.

I did not do the exhaust yet. I have a few cosmetic items I want to do before doing the exhaust. Lovin' the PROcede just the way she is!

Got a limp mode with v1.47 ( 4th gear, 6000rpm ) and loaded v1.47LBT today. I will wait now using this configuration until v2 will be released & available. Car is still stock except PROcede.
