BM3 Tuning in Texas

Anyone recommend a tuner that works with BM3 in Texas? I am unlocked on my G80 M3 on BM3 stage 2. Looking to get flex fuel tuned once my flex fuel kit comes in.

The only Texas tuners I know of are Cedar Performance in Dallas, Stage4 tuning (formerly called DME Tuning Texas) in Houston, and Racebox in Houston.

I don't use any of the above tuners though so I have no other input.

I personally went with Racebox. My car is there right now. Great tuners and even better customer service. They do remote tunes and dyno tunes as well.

Yeah I reached out to them, thought about getting a tune from them. What are you getting done? I am just waiting for this flex fuel kit to pull the trigger on a custom tune. Probably going E50 Flex fuel tune.

For right now I’m staying on 93 so just femto unlock and custom tune from them. I’ll be going flex fuel as well but haven’t really decided when. I’m very particular about my car. I asked them to do a dyno before sending the dme off to FEMTO. They were amazing to deal with when I made the request. After I dropped my car off they dyno it and they got back to me without me asking for an update on the dyno of the car! Great people and trust me they will tune it the way you want. If you tell them to send it they will send it. If you tell them what you want they will make recommendations and only after you give them the go ahead they will proceed. Check out their YouTube channel as well. They have plenty of S58 stuff on it

Ahh okay… yeah I’ve seen their stuff on YouTube so that gives me a little confidence. I saw this post the other day on instagram of your car. I am unlocked running stage 2 OTS right now. You will feel a big difference from stock.

Yes I was tuned remotely with Bend Calibration on my '21 M3. When the time comes for my LCI I will be doing the same.

When did you go to Cedar? It’s been slow getting them to reply.

About two months ago. They were very responsive to me. They then installed all my aftermarket mods and had me fully tuned in two days.

Hey boss, I picked up my car from Racebox last week. I'm very pleased! The car made 595 on 93 and 693 on e50. This is a conservative tune and the car pulls like a freight train!! The customer service has been absolutely phenomenal! I was even able to get a hold of them after hours and they took the time to explain to me everything and helped me out. They even sent me revisions after hours. I would highly recommend for you to talk to them. Best customer service I've had by far! 10/10 and even better results!
