Is your tune seasonal?

david in germany · 09-20-2016, 03:29 PM

So in Germany it is about to start getting cold and the winter tires are ready to go on the car. My summer tires are W rated tires and with my tune and the autobahn I get up to some pretty buried speedo speeds but my winters are V rated and it is at times hard to control myself. Not to mention, in the winter the quality of the fuel sucks. I was thinking, just go back to the performance tune and 155 mph limit. I can also run 91 (German 95) octane as well with no ill effects instead of the 95 (98 German needed for the tune) Does anyone else go back to stock during the different seasons?

Most of us look forward to being able to turn up the boost in the winter thanks to the cold weather

Bad snow storms and snow tires say otherwise where I live. I'll be going to stock or a boost limited tune for winter

I live in a ski town in California elevation around 7000ft (Freedom units), closest resort where I live had around 550 inches (freedom units) of snow last season used Blizzaks WS80's. Kept the same tune year round, granted I'm only on stg 1, based on your mod list I'd say you are too. Just keep the same tune.

I change tunes every couple of weeks or even drive some 1.1l engine cars to bring me back to earth. After that, when my 335i is in full boost mode I realize how fast it really is :P

MHD enabled me to use my car as I see fit! Want louder exhaust? No problem, just load stock map! Want crazy boost? Just load BQTune file

Want fast DailyDriver? MHD Stage 2+ ticks the box!

I will run MHD stage 2+ with winters on for my XI.
