Adding in the Blackstone report that was run on the same sample as the Oil Analyzers report in my original post. Surprisingly, Blackstone had a 1 week turn on this report. My last few have almost taken a month. I wonder if they have made some changes to get reports turned quicker or I just was...

Thanks. I have used the SI-1 on previous cars but not on my m2c. I'll give it a shot. I see you have a M2C as well and judging by past posts you are on PPE 5w40? Your tune is more aggressive than mine and seeing you are on flex fuel I assume you are running E85 regularly, which of course really...

yes there is no M4 GTS on the G series. G series has the S58 engine Other than the base M4 and Comp you can get a M4 CS or M4 CSL on the G82. Factory Hp Figures for F8x M2-M4s *same S55 engine for each...just a difference in factory tunes for each of these models* F82 M4 GTS = 493hp F80 M3 CS =...

Yes doesnt matter all F8x platforms (M2 Comp, M3, M4's) all had the exact same S55 engine/internals. Only difference was how BMW tuned each one. The M2 Comps were neutered from the factory at the time since they didn't want the M2C to have higher HP vs the M3's and M4's. The M4 GTS (followed by...

Thanks. I think I'm just use to the Blackstone reports which never have called this out as an issue on my last two UOAs since I have had this car and my prior Golf R which was running much higher than stock boost with a hybrid turbo tuned on E85 (~520whp). The Golf R would beat down the oil...

I just drive it very little in the winter. There were of course times I started it up to pull of of the garage and pull into driveway to do something in the garage and then pull back in after On the day I did do the oil change we did have very nice weather so I took it out on a pretty aggressive...

M2 competition has the S55 engine (3.0L inline 6 twin-turbo)

2020 BMW M2 Comp Car is tuned. Mild M4GTS+ level of tune bumps power from roughly 410whp/410wtq stock to 485whp/465wtq 2nd car used 75%-80% of time for aggressive canyon runs and spirited drives here in Colorado. Very little daily driving. I'm wondering if the tune and my use case with a lot of...

these are always dawn patrol runs so in this case what you are seeing is just before 6am in the Summer on the weekend. This is a little deeper into that road than I typically go but I was playing follow the leader with that m3 in this particular case so went with the pace. The 20 miles+ above...

Ha! Probably best to reference this 8 page thread where I posted all my UOAs when my old R was on the bigger turbo and E85 —-> https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/16-big-turbo-golf-r-running-ethanol-blend.336456/page-8#post-6354241 As for your second question I should preface this by...

I sold the car back in March 2023 so its long gone.

Only about 500 out of the 4500 miles on previous factory fill BMW 0-30 oil was on the tune. Also, the previous owner of the car still owned it for roughly 2k of the 4500 miles on the previous oil

Thanks guys. Tough to pivot away from the ~$20 oil and filter change through FCP for the XCESS Gen2 but noted on the HPL stuff.

West of Evergreen Thanks! The camera is an insta360 go3. Pros are it's super small form factor, so easily mounted with a clip on a backwards baseball cap or in this case on a headband to provide a great POV angle. Much easier to deal with vs a larger GoPro or DJI. The cons are the video...

2020 BMW M2 Comp Mild M4GTS+ level of tune bumps power from roughly 410whp/410wtq stock to 485whp/465wtq This UOA is a mix of 5L of Motul Sport (8100 Power) 5w40 I had left over from previous car and 1.5L Xcess Gen2 5w40 Will use 100% Xcess Gen2 5w40 starting with next oil change 2nd car...
