There are Countless posts on the futility of these things. It's only going to spoof your throttle position and maybe change your fuel air mixture a little richer. Something your 330 does not really need. Save up a few more coins and get a real tune. |

I'm gonna go ahead with BPC. It was just that I sorta persuaded by the reviews on BMS and how great the product was. |

I got my tune from AA in July 2017, would I have this newer tune already or would they have just given me the previous 'version 2' tune? The tune file they sent me has Stg4_4.7.1v_Rev2 in the name.

Just a quick update:
I had SES light come on shortly after the tune was installed indicating o2 sensor faults. Tried clearing the codes, but they would come back shortly afterward. So, for the past 500 miles I dove with SES light on. So here is the irony: I ordered new O2 sensors yesterday and today the stupid SES light goes away all by itself. I'll swap sensors anyways. But just frustrating. Regarding the tune: car feels strong and smooth. Idle is solid. I just love the smoothness, but miss BPC torque. I will be scheduling a dyno appointment for coming weeks. |

I just received the update from Nic at AA. Installed yesterday, drove it around town and enjoyed the much beloved power increase. I have 3IM, AA headers, intake scoop, euro-intake, K&N filter, silicon intake hose. The newest tune really brings life to my car compared to the previous tune.
However, I'm also getting the annoying 2D59 issues on every drive. Just like it was described earlier in the posts, but I actually get the error every time I drive. It could be 2 miles or 20 miles, it's really random in my case. I've reverted back to my previous tune and wrote an email to Nic for a fix. does anyone with this issue actually get a true fix from AA yet? Just wondering because I would really want this new tune but I cannot afford the unexpectable danger when cruising on the road and go into limp mode abruptly.

Maybe sometime next year I will do it, but for now, dynoing new AA tune is out of the question - unless someone will pay for dyno run - it's $120. If you pay for the dyno run, I will gladly take the car to get it done. Otherwise, hopefully, I will be spending that $$ on milvs. |

Do the MILVs work on the N51 as well? I wouldn't think that the difference in the piston design between the N51 and N52 would matter much no?

So is the general consensus that the current AA tune will give you a limp mode error due to too much torque? Or am I missing something...

AA sent me a revised tune which prevents the limp mode, but I assume it's a detuned version from the typical tune. |

At this point , for me at least , custom tune is the best way to go . Too bad I live far from BPC or AA. |

It is detuned, I have the limp mode issue and Nic from AA sent sent me a revision. In the email he did mention it is a slightly detuned version admittingly. I uploaded the revision and drove it for 2 weeks, so far I only experienced 1 incidence with limp mode. For that I wouldn't want to notify AA again and get a further detune. With the issues afloat on AA's recent revision, I am compelled to say here that the first revision which gave me the limp mode on every start is the best tune. Very aggressive and car just moves! I just hope that instead of detuning it to get under the torque limit, it would be superb if AA just address the torque limit problem by disabling the limiter. For our automatic E90's the limiter is probably there for protection. But I'm really bummed out now. With all the mods on my car I know the car can be pretty peppy, but with detuning, it just sucks. I don't want to bad mouth AA, so I'll just live with what I got for now.

From talking with Nic the the culprit of the limp mode is a particular offending torque map. |
