I've been thinking about a tune for my M235. Have you been happy with the results so far? I'd love to be able to experience the results first hand!

Haha was thinking the same thing. You probably could have broken 4 seconds if you weren't driving on a surface like that of the moon. This is great stuff though, I think its time to start shopping for a new tune while the car is in the shop.

Don't get me started on the state of the roads in New York!

I do hope to make it to a drag strip soon and record some proper runs. Will keep you all posted!

"The app only works when it's plugged into the Idrive"

Does it have to be plugged in with USB cable or can you use Bluetooth?

Thanks for the info. How about some Pics of your ride?

1drumshark · 04-01-2015, 04:51 PM

Anyone else try this tune yet? Looks promising, but I don't see anywhere to purchase it, dyno graphs, or any other reviews yet. But a claimed 390hp from a plan and play system sounds amazing.

I have been running it for 10 months !! I love the tune !! So smooth.

bimmercar · 04-01-2015, 05:31 PM

how easy is it to install and remove(for service)?

how much is it?

1drumshark · 04-01-2015, 07:59 PM

Where/how'd you order it? Cost?

Does it feel as fast as OP's claimed?

zipphreak · 04-01-2015, 08:25 PM

Very cool, do you have an install guide, and/or actual dynos before/after for you m235 with the manhart tune ? Their stage2 unit is claiming 405 hp!, Stage1 390hp..

They also have a perf kit for stage two that looks legit.
MANHART Software Remapping incl. Vmax-Removal
MANHART Downpipe (200 cell)
MANHART Axleback Exhaust (with valve control)

Luminous · 04-01-2015, 10:26 PM

I did dyno it along with the dinan tune for comparison, I still haven't had a chance to write a proper review but I plan on doing so and will post the dyno sheet as well. So far I have about 800 miles on the Manhart tune and no problems yet. I even bought a racechip ultimate to compare but honestly I'm so pleased with the Manhart that I haven't even bothered to install the racechip and am looking to just sell it instead.

I do have an install guide, either pm me or email Manhart if you want the instructions. The harness has 6 connections plus power and ground so the install takes about 15-30 minutes depending how familiar you are with the engine bay.

I've only dynoed it once right after installation and the best run showed an increase of 56hp over stock, which is about 382hp. I only did three runs and each consecutive run was showing higher numbers so I feel that once the ecu "learns" the tune and establishes the ideal a/f ratio, 390hp should be quite attainable.

hoppy6698 · 04-01-2015, 11:06 PM

Who would be the seller in the US for Manhart?

chaddy74 · 04-01-2015, 11:14 PM

Very expensive !! in Australian dollars anyway !! But its a very refined tune an outcome in my opinion!! Ordered direct from Germany. I played with the racechip but ended up reinstalling the Manhart tune due to it smoothness and crisp power delivery. Bang for buck tho the Racechip is solid.

Thanks Luminous,

Didn't ever try this and didn't know the procedure. Appreciate the info.
Did a 4.4 on my second try.
15 M235ix stock Mich PSS, stock wheels, Dinan Stage 1, K&N, Spoiler and lip/splitter. Automatic, Sport+, stick in S, launch control
What a blast. I'll try to best it every day.
Thanks again.

With this setup, you should be able to do the 0-60 in 3.8s.

I`m using the manhart stg 1 atm and I`m doing 4.0-4.3 without x drive but 8speed.

When I get my downpipe I`ll go for stage 2.

Halen · 04-02-2015, 04:05 PM

Great information on this thread!

I checked out Manhart's web site (shop) but did not see prices or a way to order equipment. What is the best way to get pricing and place an order?

zipphreak · 04-02-2015, 08:29 PM

I don't think any of this stuff is ready for sale in the US based on these guys comments earlier in the thread. There website doesn't provide much info on MSRP etc..

FSociety · 04-04-2015, 10:43 PM

OP care to let us know how were you able to purchase it for the US?
Looking to see at more options my 335 friend might need for a tune.

Luminous · 04-04-2015, 11:58 PM

If you email them they will be glad to sell you their products directly from Germany. Shipping was ridiculously fast via DHL, I literally received the package the next day after they mailed it out.
