Is the final word on the power band with this engine? No way the power can be brought in earlier with a tune? From what you have said (which makes sense btw) the engine wont run any other way. It's why the B58 has more torque low down due to the turbo having 3.0l of displacement to work with? It's a shame as it's a major gripe coming from a derv, dealer lent me x3 30d the other day and I soooo miss the drivibilty of having more torque ( it was on on Mich latitudes too which made the passive suspension very nice) Didnt miss the huge amount of front end understeer tho... Any news on the Dinan tune for the F97 anywhere? |

Do you have to use a cable or wifi unit with BM3 or can you use a bluetooth unit like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NFLL3NT...roduct_details

You can use get a iPhone to ENET Adapter and a OBD to ENET Cable, basically direct connect to your Phone or Android and will work super quick! |

These bump in HP numbers are impressive.

Been meaning to ask. Is there any point in adding in a couple gallons of e85 to a 93 tune to bump the e mix up to around 15-20? I wasn't sure if this would help remove concerns about the quality of the 93.

In Australia our “98” (93) is borderline, more like a 92.5. I always run E85 at a few percent minimum. Even 1/2 to 1 gallon per tank would make a difference. That said, you can easily run 15% or so on a petrol tune if you want to maximise performance. |

Another happy BM3 customer, I set out yesterday to do some runs.
Bought the car used on Friday, flashed to stage 1 - 93 within a few days then went straight to E30 as it worked so well in my X3M40i. The thing which surprised me most was the "learning" the ECU obviously does with high power runs. I had traction issues as it was quite cold - 6 degrees C (43 degrees F), but nevertheless the car got a lost faster. Run 1 was 11.37 Run 2 was 11.15 Run 3 was 11.00 Run 4 was 10.85 Terminal speed impressed me, looks like close to the highest on Dragy with an OTS map. Very hard to work out who has a custom map and who is using OTS though, many people are coy. Next stop is the custom tune which will use an E70 blend, the goal is to knock 2-3 tenths off once combined with new tyres. |

Will go back and test once the custom tune is done, new rubber while ensuring conditions are as close to perfect as possible. Given the theory of the potential 100 launch limit (until things are slowed a bit) I am using up my launches very carefully. |

Is it recommended to do an oil change every 5k miles, with an OTS 93 tune? If so, are you guys using the OEM oil, or liqui moly? Any other maintenance ticket items that need to be expedited (i.e. spark plug)?
Thanks! |

Regular BMW oil is fine. Unless you're in upgraded turbo tunes. Best suggestion is to move up all required maintenance. Thats all.

How are you guys doing now with BM3 and the service dept. I've always had a good SA but was warned early on with these new cars that they are detecting these tunes easier now.
It wasn't an issue prior when I was running my F82 but was hesitant with doing this on my truck. What's everyones experience been so far? Also have the 2022's been unlocked yet?

My car from now on especially tuned don't go to the dealer unless it's for brakes/rotors as I paid for it in the maintenance pkg. I do my own oil changes and spark plugs service as I don't want to wait 10k miles like bmw calls for it. 2021+ have been unlocked already, actually jairomvp182 has a 2022 X3M i think it's the first one on Bootmod3 with a 22 model for over a month. Has Dyno plots on Stock, STG1 93, E30 and Custom E40-E70 tunes too. Msg him on IG @jairoMVP or here cool guy PTF/BM3 Internal tuner Who creates all OTS maps for all engines across the platform
