Aren't they both bench DME/ECU tunes?

Evolve has done me very well on my 19M550. 11.4's in 1/4 and no issues 36k miles on the car and pretty sure I flashed it around 2k miles.

Yes they both are doing tune on ECU. The only difference is carbahn takes the tuning lightly, when DME tuning goes all the way in. That's why I'm curious to see any good or bad experiences with these companies.

Is evolve based in UK? I couldn't find ecu info for M550i on their website. What are your numbers from evolve such as hp and torque?

Got it. I have a Dinan tune, so no direct experience. My 0.02 cents, the car is already a beast stock. Go easy.

I didn't get exact #'s
They said 550-560hp with broader band and I wanna say 600ft tq. Went from 11.7 with dinnan to 11.4 with evolve.
