BQ Tuning New Project Car Z4 Sdrive35i
Lets welcome our new project car for the Z435i(s) community. We have a handful of Z435i(s) cars that we are custom tuning, and decided to bring on a Z for our next project car and bought a Silver Surfer beauty yesterday with the M Sport package, no nav, as this will strickly be for track, R&D and racing
Tuning started today just on mere 89 Octane for 91 Octane to create a base map for those who are just mere stock. Curently the Z435i(s) cars we are tunining are FBO, and not everyone is FBO. So, if you have a Z435i(s) you dont need to be FBO to get tuned. All you need is the COBB AP v2 or v3 and we can tune your Z435i(s) with DCT or MT. I have tones of experience tuning the DCT, this is my specialty on the N54 platform. If you are interested in custom tuning or pricing please email BQ@************* We will update this thread on progress with logs, and hardware upgrades, Last edited by BQTuning; 03-31-2016 at 09:22 AM.. |

The OTS maps are exactly that, they were tuned for one car specific and then made as OTS. The OTS maps do not optimize the DCT performance at all, in fact they hurt the DCT performance with delays between shift then the car starts to feel like a 6AT. There is more power to get out of your fuel and mods, even being stock. So in other word you getting a tune tailored to your car's and based on what you like or dislike. Most of all what the car likes or dislikes We have an innovative approach called Q-Logic which allows us to achieve that highest possible boost of 21.4 PSI per the DME max limit on "any" N54 car regardless of ROM. We are also able to achieve high torque output, less timing corrections, reduce velocity rise of IAT cause by EGT. Of course this type power can only be done on a car that has full-bolt-ons (FBO) running E85 mixture fuels. We will tune to whatever your comfortable with and what you car tells us it is comfortable with. We current hold the 335i XI 1/4 ET world record We curently hold the 335is trap speed record on stock turbos / full weight We currently hold the max power dyno record on stock turbos Quote:
So, you can turn your Z4 sDrive 35i into a Z4 sDrive 35is software performance wise. However we go beyond the BMW overboost performance concept I am dialing the new car ATM when I am done with a base tune i will post up logs and videos |

Is there a list of bolt ons you would recommend to get the best results from the wedge tunes? Eg, downpipes and intake, you also don't mention JB4s, are they not needed at all?

I highly recommed Upgraded FMIC - whoever supports the E89 and canfirmed their FMIC will fit. I personally am looking at the ER FMIC+ ER Chargepipe setup for this chasis, unless something else is confirmed. There is a thread somewhere around here with confirmed FMIC. ChargePipe - I preffer the ER chargepipe with 1 bung aFe Stage 2 SI - highly recommended, it had been proven to support 23 PSI with no chocking on the stock turbos and inlet. I dont like DCI cause they pull hot air from the engine bay, and causes the DME to run more WGDC, and taxes your gas milage. HighFlow Catted Downpipes - I am not a fan of cattless DP (personal preference) but either or will do. I personally dont like to risk drone, rasp, and fuel smell. If your stock we can still tune the car, any upgrade on mods we will retune. The only thing we charge additional for is "fueling" change maps If you have access to E85 then with the supported mods above there is a ton more power to be made.

Fellow Z4 enthusiasts!
I have a Z4 35i with DCT, FBO + RB's. I ran with the JB4 for about 3 years, starting even before they went back end flash. While I think it is a good product that definitely provided good power bursts, my car felt inconsistent in that it did not always perform the same every time I stamped on the throttle. Also, my car felt that it wasn't happy (hard to explain the feeling) with the extra power - especially the DCT. Unfortunately there was no support for DCT owners and my queries were essentially dismissed. I got to the point that I was getting frustrated with my car, so I through time to try an alternative path and had heard good things about Wedge Performance and was particularly interested with his partnering with BuraQ who ran a 335is - finally some DCT support out there! So, I took the leap, removed the JB4 and installed the Wedge/BuraQ flash. I cannot stress enough to you the grin that is now on my face every time I drive my car. I love my Z4 and now I really LOVE MY Z4!!! The car is so smooth in it's power application, more powerful and so consistently applied in that I know what it is going to do every time I press that throttle! My car feels so much happier (again not a real technical term there, but it best describes the feeling of the car) and feels like it is actually made for this power. And the DCT, wow performance plus! I'm only part way through my tuning with BuraQ and Wedge, my experience so far is that they are thorough, methodical, and happy to spend time with you explaining what they are doing and why they are doing it. Everything is open - no secrets, and they are both real enthusiasts in that performance is not just a business case to them. I actually don't think either of them sleep as they are always there ready to help - and I'm on the other side of the world! I can't stress enough, take the pill and you won't regret it!!!

Ramjet, great write up! It's definitely very exciting to have Wedge/ Buraq supporting our platform, as well members like you, wmandra, and lambobimmer that are pushing the envelope. I hope to join you guys soon, as soon as the lease is up and I pull the trigger on the buy. You guys are inspiration!

Also, would you mind giving more detail about what you mean with the DCT? Do you guys tune the DCT as well? Lastly, is this the intake you had in mind: http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-43...FchffgodMJoAXg Quote:

"Software performance" wise. The 35is Overboost is enabled from the factory, the 35i overboost is left dormant, which can be made active the way we use it on the 335is and 35is . Doesnt matter stock or FBO Last edited by BQTuning; 01-22-2015 at 05:34 PM.. |

You've finally joined the Z4 party!
We have the same colour combo. Titanium Silver looks great when it's clean. I've just ordered the LCI side repeaters from BMW. I think the pre-LCI ones are a bit crap. Why did you go for a manual? Didn't like the DCT in your 335is? |

Also I forgot to ask.
Will you be testing the limits of the Z4 in stock form? Would be nice to know how the stock 35i components such as the intake and exhaust system differ from the 335i. There's a lot more room under the hood so I'm hoping the piping is less restrictive. |

The intake snorkle on the Z435i(s) is wayyy better than on the 3 series. The air box has got to go though. |
