I did buy the OE tune through Craven
The OE Tune was purchased through Craven, he is a re-seller of OE Tuning. I have my ECU back from AA now, and will let everyone know the results tonight.
Who wins the 330i intake manifold swap tune challenge. AA or OE Tuning! Got to wait and see!

If I could only choose 1 tune, it would be Active
I need some additional road time with the Active Autowerks tune, but have noticed some differences between the two tunes. However my car has some issues at 2000 RPM under WOT with both Tunes. By 3000 RPM the Active Autowerks Tune is better as the OE Tune is still jerky until 3500 RPM.
More Notes... 1. The Active Autowerks tune allows the car to idle smoother... I believe the OE Tuning may have the car running a bit lean. (a guess) 2. The power curve on the Active Autowerks tune is smoother. OE Tuning seams more aggressive and jerky when the power comes on. 3. The OE Tune may have marginally more top end Horse Power, but It really lacks any HP until 3500 RPM. I bought a BMW to be smooth and have power delivered consistantly. So If I had to pick one: It would be the Active Autowerks Tune... a much smoother experience.

Active Autowerkwe Performance Tune eliminates rough idle, provides smooth aggressive pulls throughout the entire RPM Band. Custom Tuning for Higher Octane if available within your area. Congrats |

Viral - my car's finally coming out of the shop for bodywork. I'll be hitting you up on a tune soon, z4 3.0si n52. What is the default octane the program is optimized around, assuming 91? If so would I be able to get something for 93 octane? |

Our Performance Software will smooth out the factory throttle mapping. Once throttle is engaged from 500-2500 RPMs our tune help eliminate the "jerky/ sluggish" feeling that is associated with the factory tune file. This allows the vehicle to react in much more responsive manner while maintaining it's smoothness that you can expect from a BMW.

How difficult is it to come up with a hand-held flash tune? Every other auto brand seems to have flash tunes. |

Do either of these companies have a tune to take advantage of 91 octane and the 3-stage manifold for the Canadian N52 323i? I noticed AA has some authorized dealers in Canada which is a big plus.
