Try reading the previous post just above yours.Hey Shanum. I heard that the normal M4 is also upgradeable now. Are you going to do tunes for it as well?

Probably yes. It can go that high quite easily but that will be a tune for the other day. Once my other half gets home and I've made tea, I have to do some more studying for uni this week so my fun time will be over for tonight. I do have a second M4 awaiting higher spec tunes though. Have no fear.Love the 550PP M4 Coupe! Are you going to release a, more extreme, 600PP version? :crosseshisfingers:
Alright then. Great job as always on the tunes.Probably yes. It can go that high quite easily but that will be a tune for the other day.

I haven't but I don't use cockpit view at all so its not something that I would notice. Its good that they have made sounds a little better, even if its only the sound effects in the game.Alright then. Great job as always on the tunes.
By the way, did you notice that they slightly changed the sounds while being in cockpit view?
I am going to do this another day. My head isn't in the mood to slam on brakes to avoid collisions with drunk AI cars. It is a good pay out though, I look forward to when I get the gold trophy on this one.@shaunm80 and guys:
Stage 4 of Sierra - Payout (200%) Cr. 3.100.000
Loads of traffic, rain and absolutely insane AI (crashes into you and hard braking/steering)
Prize (gold): Nissan GT-R Nismo'14 (believe not tuned)
Normal driving counter gives 1.000.000+...
Very nice. I think that will come in handy in the future.A little off-topic, but very interesting and cool:

Thanks for the kind review. I did those M4 tunes in record time, I haven't published 6 tunes in a single afternoon for a long time so its good to see that they worked well for others too. I was very happy with how the 550PP BMW Animal tune turned out. It reminds me of a dog on steroids, it always seems to want more and is willing to dig its teeth in if it doesn't get it.@shaunm80
I've tried out most of your BMW M4 tunes you've posted today. The only one i haven't tried out yet is the 600pp version.
Your 550pp tune for the "ordinary" M4 makes me wish we had this back when the 550pp Nurb seasonal was all the hype. This thing is absolutely fabulous on there. It grips the track like no ones business and doesn't complain on the turn-in's.
If i didn't knew better i would've suspected that the tune was tested on that track..
Anyway.. Great job Shaun.
On a side note.
Before i even knew you'd posted tunes for this car i went on to create one of my own. I noticed by looking at your tune sheet that we aren't too different in our choices. Your tune, sitting untouched will lap Nurb in 7:01-7:04's consistently. My version has dipped below the 7min mark, but only just. Mine has a tad stiffer and lower suspension setting and a slightly different gearing. Not too much that differs tbh.
I'm sure i can get her below the 7min barrier with a few minor tweaks though.
Oh, almost forgot. Your drift tune you posted earlier.. An absolute riot of a tune.
Wow. I put all three BMW M4 Coupe tunes on my three available tabs. Both the 500PP tunes are great. Even the tune with SH tires really grips the road so well. I ran all three tunes on the Nurburgring Nordschleife just now. The 550PP tune is a real animal. It just wants more and more throttle so it can chew up more pavement. The suspension and SS tires are tuned perfectly. Yes, the rear wants to come out and play a little bit, but that's a good thing!
On a track like Nordschleife drivers might want to lower the Final Gear for a little bit more top send speed, but you really don't have to. I thought about adjusting mine, just a tad, but I think I'll keep it where it is. Not every car is supposed to go 200MPH!
You've really outdone yourself with these tunes @shaunm80! Very rarely do I have a three tabs dedicated to just one tuner and his variations, but it's totally worth it in this case.
I have a question about the BMW M4 M Performance Edition. Is it different from the M4 Coupe in any way mechanically? The specs in the dealership look identical to me. I'm just curious because I noticed that your 550PP tunes are slightly different in the suspension and transmission setups between the two cars. Was that just a personal thing or do they actually behave slightly different?
Thanks for the kind review. I did those M4 tunes in record time, I haven't published 6 tunes in a single afternoon for a long time so its good to see that they worked well for others too.

I just used the BMW M4 M Peformance Edition drift tune on the new seasonal. Very easy win, It eats up the track effortlessly. You should be able to score mega points with it!
As I mentioned above, the 550PP is a good one, even I whole hearted agree with you and the Lord on that one. As for your other questions, I do not know if the 550PP tune from the ordinary M4 will work on the M Performance Edition as I haven't tried it. I always start a fresh car from scratch, it is a habit of mine as I like to individualise cars. If PD are doing their usual, it probably will work on the M Performance Pack and I shall buy another one at some point and try it out for myself but feel free to give it a go and let me know how the safety car works with it in the mean time.
I am glad you liked the tunes, Hopefully they can produce some good wins for you in the future.
This morning i got gold at Sierra but your points are amazing 👍I've tried it out. It has no problem shredding tyres, or tarmac for that matter. hehe.. It's a bit of a loon but i'll give it a few more runs in order to try and tame it, if that's even possible..
Interesting set of seasonals this time around, no doubt about that.
Have you had a chance to look at the new Sierra time rally event yet? I have.... It went...uhm... quite well i'd say.

You all know the drill. If you use a tune to complete any of the challenges beneath, let me know which tune you used. Quote the original post if you are able as it makes it easier for me to link back.

I just tried it and I struggled big time. I think I shall have to rebuild a unique tune for this car on this circuit for me to get gold. That will fill a few hours at some point. Glad it helped you get gold though.LCC Seasonal Gold 1:31:877 with the following changes:
Brings to 617PP/288BHP
- Added Intake Tuning
- Added Low RPM Turbo
Aids ( this one surely needs) - Active Steering Mild / TCS 2/3 or more according to drive style
Set, match and Done!! Another "great" PD TT

Edit: The link is right. I have to put SS tyres as thats what the tune is listed under. I just put that they see your post when making changes to get this car to work.

Notes to testers - This car may feel a little static at first, give the car 1 or 2 laps to get everything into its working range, then drive this thing as the car wants. It will give you signs of what it likes and doesn't like. I have found this car impossible to spin and it will like you if you go with slower in, faster out. The grip is going to be there as long as you've not cooked your entry into a corner. Enjoy

Thats interesting to hear.. Am I right in thinking that the '03 version doesn't have the flat floor? Could that be the difference in the time? Out of interest, What did you make of the car/tune on the '06 version?The above settings work quite well with the '03 DB9 as well on Silverstone, it's nearly a second quicker yet 18 HP less .
