F80 M3 alpha tune 480rwhp...

Looks like FBO will be needed to keep up stock and upgraded hybrids will be needed to pull one with a tune. Great to see the TTI6 engine making some solid power!

Hey guys,

Was able to get our new 2015 M3 over to the dyno today for a little test and tune action. It has around 100 miles on the clock... :lol Fuel is 91 octane + a can of octane booster to bring octane up to around 93 octane.

To start I did a few baseline runs in 4th and 5th gear. The best of which was 427rw in 5th gear. Boost was around 19.5psi peak, timing around 9 degrees up top, and I was fairly disappointed with the output. I'm not sure what might be holding back power but we'll have to dive in to that as we get further in to the R&D process.

Not satisfied I decided to whip up a Stage1 alpha tune and after some work had boost up to 24psi and power up to a more respectable ~480rw. :drinking:

Work continues!

Wow 427 baseline. Way underrated from the factory, depending on how realistic the dyno is. Looks like the days of a FBO 335i w/ stock turbo's beating M3's are no longer an option.

right... its the same dyno that BMS uses to do all their validation and testing....so it means the new M3/M4 does FBO numbers out of the box...

Wow! Looks like those engines are going to be putting out some serious numbers once they are tuned properly.
Is the AFR correct? Gets pretty rich at the end

It's not the first car they have underrated as our 335's as we know are over 300 hp at the flywheel stock and the new M5's are totally underrated also. Those new m3's/m4's are going to be awesome.

I'm still impressed how it holds power all the way to redline... stock there is no drop off.

With catless DPs and exhaust this thing is going to be an absolute animal. Not sure if the intercooler can be upgraded since its water-air.

TQ drops off... I wouldn't be surprised if it were faster in 60-130 times shifting ~6500 RPMs

TQ always drops off at 5252, I think he was saying the turbos can breath and put out good hp up top.

+1, stock I could see shifting at redline or 7000rpm for best times.

Be interesting what happens when tuning on E85, easily 520's I'd imagine, similar to RB 's on our cars...
