    Which tune for e9x M3 with borla atak?

    Hi all,

    First time poster here. I purchased a 2012 competition M3 a few years back. Previous owner had installed a Borla ATAK exhaust and aftermarket air intake. I took it in for service this past week and the mechanic suggested thinking about a tune that would amp up the exhaust burble on deceleration + optimize a lot of other aspects of the platform. He suggested Alpine. Does anyone have thoughts, experience, reviews or other suggestions to consider?

    Thanks!

    For the most part, you won't get a burble without going catless.
    Then you'd need a tune to get rid of the check engine light too.
    Don't expect much power gain from a tune and HFC or catless- maybe 20=30 whp
