Exclamation ANyone had experience with Celtic Tuning?

I've been offered the opportunity to test out a "custom flash tune" from a company based in the UK called "Celtic Tuning".

I'm keen to hear your experiences with regards to power/torque increases, effects on drive-ability and reliability, etc.

Agreed. I've been following this forum religiously for 3+ years and have never seen a single post about them.

I Also dabble in post on n54tunning and haven't seen it there either.

Interesting that no-one has given it a go as they have apparently been around for years!

Anyway here's the info on what they offer for M235i.

Yeah the more research I do, the more Bootmod3 seems like the best solution. Once K-Tag flashed, the ECU can be custom mapped via the OBD port, which is by far the best solution.

All other solutions as far as I can ascertain are either piggyback signal modifiers, or require you to open up the ECU again to make adjustments to the maps, so you end up with a generic off the shelf tune.

Tbh i would highly recommend BM3, not only because its a great software. but you will be guaranteed to have more support and feedback through the forums and through PTF as a company, their customer support is great. ontop of that you can go to any tuner of your choice for a custom map for your setup.
