Good first tune M240i

Hi there! I was hoping someone could point out a good starting tune setup for a serious novice. Have a F22 M240i and was wondering what y'all are running or would recommend! Thank you!

Bootmod3 or mhd.. both are solid. I prefer bootmod3 personally.. some people will prefer mhd. Usually the people.who like mhd have never used the current version of bootmod3 or have any actual expirience with the results or customer service.

Jb4 is Plug and play, also good for a novice, but it has limitations relative to flash tuning.

But I only say that as I started my DIY tuning life with JB4 on my e92 335i

Now I'm MHD, I don't regret it, I think the BM3 pushes the targets a little harder though

For stage 1? No.. just flash and drive.

Stage 2 you want a downpipe at least anything else is extra. It just depends on what your goals are.
