Where I live it snows in the winter. Most, if not all of the time. Which means that I have not been able to test out my car after I got the DME software updated to the latest version (I8A0S for my MSD80).
Well, yesterday the roads were finally almost fit for driving, so I started testing. I ended up spending all the day testing, and using up most of Dzenno's time as well.
We finally ended up with a very powerful E50 tune with clean logs, boosting ~20.5 psi midrange, ~19 psi at peak hp and ~17.5 psi near redline (6800 rpm). Neither of us could quite believe how powerful the runs looked for a full weight car with a heavy driver (250+ lbs), so on the last few runs I decided to put the Performance Box in the car to see it the road was indeed flat. It turned out there was a decline of just 0.09%
As a bonus I discovered that the car did 100-200 kmh in 7.07 seconds and 60-130 mph in just 8.18 seconds, in ONE gear (4th) on a flat road with crappy rear tyres. Now this would have also never happened if I hadn't had the defiv diff lockdown kit mounted, the rear end was just so planted, even in 30F temps and with crappy tyres.
I guess since I bought both my COBB AP and e-tune maps from PTF as well as my defiv diff lockdown kit in group buys in here, some credit to Bimmerboost is also in place :handgestures-thumb:
Cars specs are updated in the sig. I've attached a couple of pics. Sticky please resize if neccessary
