N52 Bimmerlabs tune / MILVS

Hi,

I have a question regarding the Bimmerlabs tune.
This tune is supposedly beneficial for US 325i/328i/330i's that upgraded to the 3 stage manifold. Being an European, i already have the 3 stage manifold (but not the 3 liter engine). Will this tune also be beneficial to European E90's?

I'm also planning on installing MILVS on my N52. I red that the MILVS are only fully utalized when getting a corresponding tune. The only 2 companies that provide the MILVS tune are based in America. I don't realy like the idea of sending my ECU across the Atlantic Ocean, so are there any other methods of getting this tune (or are MILVS working without a tune aswell)?

Need tune for MILVs.
I am clueless about how your cars are equipped. I would think it shares the MSV80 as most NA N52s (excluding the '06 models, like mine, with MSV70).

If I am right and not just blowing smoke, it should be a simple email the tuners here and get the ball rolling. Get the proper cable/software …. read/copy, send, wait, and flash the tweaked file.

Someone else should confirm/deny my guess work.

Thanks.
I think i will skip the MILVS for now and only go for the Bimmerlabs tune.
My car is equipped with the MSV70 aswell. Did you do the Bimmerlabs tune?

I did not… My 06 330i came factory with the manifold and all that cool stuff.

As a precaution, just make sure you save your current configuration. Best of luck, brotha.
