"Natural Habitat, the gas station" truer words have never been spoken. This is the first car I've owned that I've had to go to to the gas station twice in one day during regular use(i.e. no road trip or track day).
nice car, great review. that was my 2015 Sti in his shop (AWDSTI). i wouldn't bring my car anywhere else. The tech Ben, Bren and Chris know what they're doing. Glad you're happy, but that seems to be the norm there.
Great guys all of em! I will be doing a proper review of the ABS, DCT, MDM, and some of the coding perks and how it improves the over experience of driving. #stayTuned
I haven't had a chance to share that I've picked up an e90 M3 as well. Looking forward to more e92 M3 videos. I don't have crazy plans with mine either. Just gas, driving and a lot of smiles.
+Tedward 2011 manual sedan. Not the 'unicorn' spec though, non-comp pack, moonroof, jerez on black, edc, tech/premium/cold weather packages. It's been great fun so far! Thinking about aftermarket warranties and at least a blackstone on the next oil change.
Totally agree about getting better results with a tune done specifically for that car. When you're ready for your next upgrade, check out our full bolt on performance flex fuel systems. It'll work seamlessly with your tune from BrenTuning.
Really enjoyed this video and those are very respectable gains out of a nearly stock s65. I’ll have to bring mine to Bren and see what he can do! Subscribed to you now sir 👍
Ted, I’m looking to have my car dynoed a dynojet next week. The question I have for you is were there any steps taken before you had your car on the machine. For example did you have to pull out any certain fuse or disable anything? Also,3 or 4 gear?
Surely raising the red line to 8600 is madness?, otherwise the bmw m3 designers would have already made it that?. The reason it's 8200rpm is that bmw deemed that the safest and they would have made it that to make sure your engine had longevity. I really hope you don't blow your engine !...or it's tears and a 20k bill!...please keep us informed , i am getting the Gts gearbox tune but really dont want to play around with an engine tune on a n/a car, good luck!
We've seen them tuned up to 9k safely but basically stops making power. Plus the car rarrrrely sees 8600 and when it does its not there for long. it has about 6500 miles on that tune and so far it's a happy engine and oil analysis is still squeaky clean. The full blown GTS tune requires an additional transmission cooler (that only the GTS car got) so most tuners will tune to the spec just below GTS. If you do use the GTS tune, just be aware that it can overheat the gearbox. Happy tuning and enjoy that car!
I just got the gts dct tune and my God the shift feel brutal asf😂😂 the tires sometimes brake loose from 3rd to 4th makes me scared of upshift wot on a corner
+Mike M so far so good. Passed inspection. No lights. Cold start is a bit more aggressive but not Obnoxious. Fuel Econ is about the same at 21 to 22 highway (at speed)
Can i ask you how is the car today almost 3 years after the tune? Did u have any issues with it or the car runs good till today? Tyvm man i just have a 08 e92 m3 too planning to tune it but a little afraid since electronics on these cars are so unreliable.
Over 86k miles now so about 30k miles on the tune. I’ve done maybe 10 track days and loads of daily driver miles. Never had any engine issues. Once in a while in cold weather it would hunt for an idle but it was a rare occurrence. The car really has held up and continues to serve as my daily
@@TedwardDrives Happy to know everything is running good. This is such a great car and so much fun to drive. God bless ya friend, may it serve you for a long long time! Ty for sharing your experience, much apreciated.
Hey. I have a 2008 e93 m3. Looking to tune. Now that it's been a while how's the mpg range? My car is a daily use car so this is important to me. Thanks
+Scott Quiceno I honestly cannot notice a big enough difference to say one way or another. The first week I used more fuel but that was because I was driving it wide open lol.
You could get 20-30hp by eliminating the primary and secondary cats. After that you'd be looking at more intense modifications to milk out more without boost (which is why the Superchargers are sooooo appealing)
Take a chill pill man was into the vid till u overreacted about it spinning its wheels in 2nd gear lol ive got an m3 itll easily spin in second and isnt even tuned.👍 sorry if it comes across negative
NA tuning is for Real tuners... thats why they told you NA mods are harder! if i have that M3 in my garage I would custom tune the stock cams and eleminate that vanos shit and make that car go directly well over 400whp while still %100 daily driver :-D

if i could change one thing it would be to add 20gal tank
Welcome to you new ride. I love your reaction.. so awesome to see. Congrats man! Bren Rocks
Great video, glad you're enjoying the car more than ever :)
Yes! Highly recommend Bren, tuned my M3 as well. That new shop looks amazing.

+exiges The Fidelity platinum warranty has been great for me, so far.
Do the tune with an exhaust. You will not regret it. Keep it NA
Id love to do an eisenmann race...they sound unreal
awesome tedward it's like you have a brand new car it's so awesome!!!
Brens new shop looks bad ass!
cams will make a huge noticable gains
Ted, I am glad you posted this. I thought the only good option was Frank Smith in that area for BMWs. Did you consider him?
I dont know him so couldn't speak to it...Very happy with Bren's work so far!

As far as I know nothing special (but Bren is the expert not me)... He ran my car in 3rd

Awesome! So now the question is - when is your mom getting hers tuned?
She's already thinkin about it! I do like having a stock car to compare to tho
You have to strait pipe it next. With the tune, it'll sound killer
Nah gonna go slightly more conservative. I need it to safely pass emissions in Mass
Nice Tedward! It's crazy how much of a difference the tuning can change! Just look at how much you're smiling! So are you saving gas with the tune?
Need more time with it to confirm fuel economy, but right now it's chugging fuel because I cant stay away from the throttle
LOL! Nice man!
“Let me put it in manual mode “ wouldn’t have to do that if it was a manual xD
Li Y fuck manual in the e9x m3 dct is 100 times better
I just got the gts dct tune and my God the shift feel brutal asf😂😂 the tires sometimes brake loose from 3rd to 4th makes me scared of upshift wot on a corner
You should ask him to set you up with a PROFLEX Commander E85 kit, you will double your gains.
Just wait til u put on the free flowing exhaust :-)
How much was the tune? Nice gains too!
How is the tune so far? Any check engine lights? Fuel economy same, better or worse ? Is cold start sound still the same?
+Mike M so far so good. Passed inspection. No lights. Cold start is a bit more aggressive but not
Obnoxious. Fuel Econ is about the same at 21 to 22 highway (at speed)
Tedward Thanks Ted!
How much did the tune and dyno work cost in total?

What a nice ride ! Is something that you like about your car ? Tedward Do you feel that was way to spend that cash !
The power bump is great, but the DCT tune truly transforms the car. Much less clunky
Nice ... Will you tune the E39 M5 soon too?
I'd be lying if I said we haven't been having that discussion =)
soo.. it's kinda like a trm tune on a e36,but on a e92. cool😎

So just a stock retune? If so thats amazing gains.
+MrRangerZr1 crazy right? I'm very happy with it. No mods other than the drop in air filter
What is the most you can get out of these without boosting it?
You could get 20-30hp by eliminating the primary and secondary cats. After that you'd be looking at more intense modifications to milk out more without boost (which is why the Superchargers are sooooo appealing)
You need different stock wheels
I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY ITS 350bhp dont they come out from factory as 415bhp
415 at the crank. not wheels
Nice!
jelly af
It's amazing how much power these lose though drive chain wheel hp is 100hp less then figures from factory
Petrol Headz dpeends on the typa dyno you use normally the car makes ~370whp
Where’s that place so I can take mine there too ?
138 Milford St, Upton, MA 01568
isn't it suppose to make 414 hp !?
stock
@@140aj At the crank. This is wheel horsepower.
You and I have the same identical car haha
+Raji kelly that's crazy. I never see any other silver leather cars haha
What Drop In Filter Are You Using?????????????????????????????
Will confirm...pretty sure its just k&n but not positive
BMC :)
BrenTuning thanks
Do ya want to trade cars?
Take a chill pill man was into the vid till u overreacted about it spinning its wheels in 2nd gear lol ive got an m3 itll easily spin in second and isnt even tuned.👍 sorry if it comes across negative
NA tuning is for Real tuners... thats why they told you NA mods are harder! if i have that M3 in my garage I would custom tune the stock cams and eleminate that vanos shit and make that car go directly well over 400whp while still %100 daily driver :-D
Eliminate vanos?
