Tracking With Aftermarket Tune

JMK007 · 09-24-2013, 07:31 PM

Has anyone tracked their F30 with an aftermarket tune? If so, what tune do you have and how has the car performed on track with a tune in terms of cooling and reliability?

Thanks...

doesn't help now, I know... but I'll be able to tell you Friday

With a forecast high of 85º I doubt anyone will have any cooling issues. No one had any issues mid June at Buttonwillow where temps were almost 20º higher.

So - how did the car do on track with the tune?

I don't think anyone had any issues.

I just went to the Nurburgring...no issues with cooling(didn't get hotter than 250) or issues with the JB4. Worked flawlessly...

As far as I am aware, some F30's with tunes have run our HPDE and autocross events. There have been no reported incidents of overheating, even when the ambient temperatures were over 100...with four people in the car...and the a/c on.

Excellent news. Thanks...

I had no issues whatsoever. Temps stayed within normal operating range although I wasn't pushing it nearly as hard as the instructor driving the no-line AW 335i.

11 sessions and no issues. Both days temp at 85.
