Perfected The DCT
Tune was super easy to install with the guidance of the guys at SouthernBM. M3 was instantley smoother during warm up period. Also noticed much quicker takeoff when planting my foot down from a standstill. The best thing about this tune had to be the shifts when in manual mode, the gears are brutal and i love it.

Highly recommended for better gear shifts
This tune was really noticable in the gear box instantly. Smoother changes, better rev matching even in auto, reduced clunking when coming to a stop. When hitting the gas the down shifts are way quicker and far more responsive. The clutch engagement is also more defined and engagement seems quicker (less clutch riding feel). Recommended over Engine tune if price is a concern

My first dealing with Southern BM was a pleasant one. I had some springs and shocks installed and Sean was a delight to deal with. Knowledgeable, helpful and offered solutions when not everything went to plan. I would happily recommend them.
