Hi Mike
Hope all is well at your end.
Would like to firstly thank you for taking the time to attend to my ECU remap, and also having us visit your workshop later on. We were very impressed with the facility and workmanship of the guys there.
Now concerning my ECU... I am a little concerned MIke. I am concerned because if this continues any longer, I might just kill myself!
What have you done to my ECU? The car is a totally different animal now! I am not even sure if I should be driving it because I'm not sure if it's my car!! WOW. I have to take my hat off to you Mike, I am very impressed with the performance.
And you were right, it is getting stronger and stronger as I drive it more, I have only put about 50 miles on it and I can't stop smiling! My face hurts!
I decided to stretch her legs last night and bumped into a C63 AMG that wanted to play... well, he played with the wrong M5. I made him look like a C320 from a roll all the way to 240km/h... he was a good 6 to 8 car lengths behind me!
I only realised how serious my car's performance really was after he pulled me over and asked "what have you done to your M5 and how much power are you pumping out?" and I replied "its modified and dont know the HP numbers yet...but why are you surprised?"
He replied "Cause my C63 has Stage2 Kleemann package and I'm pumping 480rwhp" !!!
I just kept quiet and screamed like a little girl on the way home!!!
Anyways MIke, Roy and the boys... you guys did a great job and I'm very pleased to have met some of you folks! Hopefully, we will get to meet again very soon.
Best Regards to you all!

Just had a
CSL style airbox fitted to my E46 M3 and I have to say I am delighted.
Power up from 330 to 364, torque increased everywhere and a real
increase in the sharpness of the throttle response. The noise is
fantastic - sounds stock at cruising speed but under full load it sounds
amazing. Alpha N can be tricky but I have a rock steady idle and a
smoother than ever driving experience. The service from AL tuning was
fantastic, my car was picked up, I was kept up to date on progress, and
it was even valeted on collection. I cannot recommend this conversion by
AL enough.

It has indeed been quite a journey!
First with the Eisenmann Exhaust getting lost in the wilderness, and
then the wheel offset issue, and finally the CEL which was diagnosed to
be from a faulty fuel tank sensor thankfully!
Well, I am happy to announce that the beast has been finally and
successfully put together.. and is running great!
Actually, that is an understatement, and I can't keep calm abut this
anymore!
THE M5 IS A FRIGIN ROCKET NOW!!!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH PERFORMANCE
IT HAS!!!!
First of all, I would like to send out my utmost gratitude to Roy at CA
Auto for standing up with me through everything and putting things right
when others were slacking off! The guy is outstanding! It's such a shame
I did not get to meet him on my visit to the UK as he was very busy else
where in the country!
But I did meet some amazing people who are his partners and colleagues
and I must admit.... I was impressed with their professionalism and
workmanship!

Hi Mike,
Just wanted to give you my impressions on the Stage 2 Re-Map you put on
my car.
As you know I couldn't really let loose with the car for the first 400
miles while I was breaking in the new clutch. I then had two consecutive
track days; timing runs at Bruntingthorpe and then a full day at Oulton
Park.
I could immediately tell the difference. The car feels more urgent
and 'alive'. Clearly more responsive throughout the rev range and
consequently much easier to adjust your line with the throttle when on
track. Considering all the mods already on the car, it previously felt
like it was lacking something. Now it feels like a complete package.
Strong on the brakes, flat through the turns, sharp on the throttle with
the power to pull the (stock) Porsches down the straights. Not bad for a
4 door saloon! The S62 is quite a lazy engine by nature, but the new
software really livens things up. On the road when I'm just cruising I
now find I don't have to drop a gear as frequently as I used to.
Cant wait to get the cams, race cats, manifolds, and the live re-map!
Thanks for the good work,
Pasha

Hi Roy,
I would like to take this opportunity to say that I’m very pleased with the work carried out on my BMW Z4M. The sound from the installation of the CSL style Carbon fibre airbox and Eisenmann Exhaust and not forgetting the Live mapping is amazing. I have to say it even sounds even better than the M3 CSL and is noticeable quicker. The quick shift, strut bar and CSL wheels greatly improves the handling.
I have attached a few picture of the engine bay and rear of the car. Once again Thank you for your professionalism and honesty about power gains quoted for my cars’ conversion. I look forward to my next set of mods (Schrick Cams & pulley kit).
Also many thanks to the guys at AL-Tuning.
Kind regards,
Brendon

Hi Mike,
"After fitting a carbon fibre air box to my E46 M3, I delivered the car to AL Tuning for an Alpha N remap. Immediately it was apparent when talking to Mike, that not only did they know what they were talking about, but they also took great pride in their work.
I race cars as part of my living. I own a 670bhp track car, so my expectations for my daily driven M3 may be higher than most when it comes to tuning, but AL Tuning certainly didn't disappoint. Spending a great deal of time perfecting the map, and keeping me in the loop the whole way through the process.
I was so happy with the first remap, that I revisited them after fitting some Kelleners sports cams. This time my E46 M3 left AL Tuning with 369bhp, and again perfect drivability.
The power figured we got before AL Tuning worked their magic was a dismal 310bhp, which I'm lead to believe is quite a normal power figure despite the quoted 342bhp by BMW. It is now without a doubt a genuine CSL killer, and I couldn't be happier. Thank you Mike and the AL Tuning team.

"just a quick update to say the car is still going well. (e39 530d)
eco mode.... car is pulling smoothly from 80 to 90 in cruise (cruise "+" button) before it would have to change down.
sport mode.. i recently upgraded to a set of 275's on the rear and it seems to "light them up from time to time" -
I like!
all.... mid range torque is dramatically improved, the normal drive is nice and the economy is about the same.
town average mpg 39
motorway mpg 50ish
cheers guys, will speak soon
Dave "

From: Gordon
"The car is fantastic, and feels subtle but significantly better. The handling is a lot sharper, the pick-up is quicker, the exhaust sound is wonderful... I just haven't tried the brakes yet, as you asked! It really feels like a new car, and the capability feels close to the base-line '07 Boxster I had last year.
Best regards,
Gordon"
