Yes you can get it retuned and protuned. It's the OTS maps and additional features that are dead in the water. The main point here is that you'll be spending more money for less. The total cost assuming you have none of this already is maybe $100 for a android /OTG capable tablet, $50 for cable/OTG cable, and I'm guessing here, $150 for flasher module, logging and maps. So $300, $350 tops, which is what a used Cobb V2 is going for right now, V3 is around $550-600 used. And the Cobb can't upgrade or downgrade your ROM version, no option for the N20 sensor, no option for kickdown blocker, the list goes on. And all the guys that you'd possibly consider for a protune can do the same stuff in TunerPro, which is what MHD uses.

This is the exact route that I took, however its been close to a year being tuned now.

IF MHD was available at the time I starting modding I would have definitely gone with MHD over Cobb...but still have nothing bad or negative to say with my Protuned Cobb V3.

Ah ok. Looks like MHD is the way to go then. Any suggestions for FMIC?

I have a VRSF 7" and it's adequate but if I had to do it over again I'd go ER or ATM stepped. I have a friend with a 335is, same mods, same weather, and he runs 10-20 degrees cooler after comparable runs with his ATM.

I have one but haven't installed it yet, not sure if I should install or sell. I got the MFactory LSD, which I've heard great things about. But in general, I have heard that a LSD completely transforms our cars, regardless of which LSD you go with. The 335is should of came with a LSD with all that torque, but I am sure was left out due to costs and keeping the price lower than the M3.

I have heard it is possible but have not seen it done as of yet. Would like to know as well if anyone has attempted this.

SUHleen · 12-24-2015, 03:31 PM

It is possible, I have seen the LED be changed before by OSS.

They did not include the LSD in the IS because of price like you say, and to keep space between the m3 and the IS. BMW was scared it would take sales away from the m3 as they would be closer to the same

Quaife, had VAC build it in a DCT pumpkin for me and I just swapped the stock one out and sent it back to them.

It's immediately noticeable.

I've had LSD in all my previous cars, stock or aftermarket. It's a must have if you do any spirited/track/peformance type driving.

Santa brought the car painted rims and calipers for X-mas.

STIHLBOLTS · 01-02-2016, 11:41 AM

How many IS verts have rear deck spoilers? I am looking at a couple and not sure what look to go with.

IMO second one looks better - personally I like the no spoiler look.
