Not sure whether there is much point in comparing disparate tunes on different cars with a drag race.

But it was fun, no question. lol

I want to know more about a tune making 800hp on the M8 though.... lol

Only running a 10.9 though... and I'm seeing all these stock motor g80s in the 9s. Time to swap cars, or motors.

Crank estimate based the actual tuner is my guess ...

Go buy a plaid if all you care about is hitting 9s consistently

There’s a reason people call DMS dyno’s happy dyno.. it shows much higher numbers than it really is… I had a tune with them and the dyno showed 794 which is very unlikely… later on I decided to go with another tuner as I put stock primaries back and had to go from dms stage 2 to stage 1… the dyno showed 724bhp from stage1+ and it feels much faster and more responsive than dms tune… also in comfort it runs more smoothly

Justao interesting - who did you use for your next tune? I’m considering getting mine done when out of warranty and was considering DMS…

I used Wrench Studio… they tuned many M8’s, really happy with their tune which I’m running over a year with no issues whatsoever… worth looking at TOM WRIGLEY PERFORMANCE as well, they specialise in BMW and are very good at what they do. I think their tuned M3 g80 holds world record
