Red face Tuning Noob ... PLZ help me !!!

So...I ordered a June bulid e92 M-sport 335i AT a while ago, and since then I've been wondering if it was safe to tune it or keep it stock.
Now that my delivery date is slowly moving closer, I have decided to go with the tunes and go ahead and order a piggy . But since then I have had these questions that I can't find simple answers for.

The facts are: I live in Riyadh which is 600m above sea with humidity of around 19% summer and 49% winter. Temps are close to (summer 47 degrees Celsius) and (winter 11 degrees Celsius) ...

The Question is: Are the numbers/facts presented above tune safe?? or am I going to limp for the rest of my life ??

One last thing, since there are probably no reputable shops dedicated to tuning what so ever here in the city, this means I'm on my own. SO AM I SAFE WITH ANY TUNE (talking about engine problems/limp mods)???? or do I have to go with a certain tune (PROcede,SSTT, JB...etc) ????


I appreciate any help or comment
and plz pardon my English

Thnx in advance

Procede V3 is the only tune right now that can handle the new DME81 and the 29.2 program....

correction... its currently the only "high power" tune...

JB1, JB2(without fueling looms), and SSTT are also safe

So from what you're saying, these tunes are safe regarding the DME and the programn but are they safe to be run under the conditions I listed in the first post ??? or am I by installing a tune just asking for limp modes ???

Thnx for the response guy

You will be safe with any of the tunes I listed. I wouldnt suggest running more than 10-11psi if you are worried about it. JB1 would be a good safe start, it runs at 9.5-10psi (and you can get it for $99 bucks right now)... and if you want more power, BMS offers a 100% trade-up policy, so you can get a full refund on the jb1 if you decide to get a jb2 or jb3

Just be careful... BMW is looking for these tunes and will find them. They will void your warranty if they find the tunes caused ANY type of damage.
Dinan is the only tune out there providing a matching 4yr/50k mile warranty.
Just my .02 not flaming

I have read a number of topics discussing voided warranties and I am aware of the risk.

Dinan is not a possible option for me since the closest dinan dealer I heard of is about 6 hours away in the UAE.


thnx for the comment bro
