I contacted City Performance Centre feeling a little underwhelmed with my factory package of my M3 (sound). The guys there were so helpful and recommend I invest in an Akrapovič system and Eventuri intake. I couldn't be happier with the result, you brought my car to life!

★★★★★

Alessio and team are brilliant! They have looked after my M2 with mods since new. Best in market parts thru their sister business, and always keen to help ensure the car is ready for any events. Genuinely lovely people and very competent team. I would highly recommend!!

★★★★★

I had a brilliant experience with Alessio and the team at City Performance. What stood out for me is they're not there to sell you stuff, they're there to help you get EXACTLY what you want. Nothing was too difficult, they were excellent at communicating the entire way through, and over-delivered on every part of the service.

Questions

Common questions.

Anything else? Call 02 9437 6077.

How much does a tune cost?

It depends on the car, the stage and what's already fitted. Tell us your car and we'll give you one clear price before anything is booked in.

What's the difference between Stage 1 and Stage 2?

Stage 1 is software only, on standard hardware. Stage 2 is written for supporting parts such as a downpipe, intake or intercooler. We will tell you which suits your car and how you drive it.

Will a tune affect my warranty?

It can. A manufacturer can decline a claim on a part it believes the tune has affected. We'll talk it through with you before we start so you can decide.

Can you tune a car that already has parts fitted?

Yes. Tell us what's fitted and we'll write the tune for those parts, or recommend what to change first.

Do you do dyno runs?

Yes. We run the car on the dyno before and after the tune, so you can see what it has made.
