Bootmod3 question - Sport Mode
Considering getting a Bootmod3 tune after reading about it vs piggybacking. Dumb question for anyone currently using it-
Is there a way to activate it on the fly only in Sports Plus mode? If not, can I enable it only at certain times like flicking a switch? Or is that not how tunes work? I feel like any tune other than stock will be less reliable and I do not want it active 24x7 for several reasons including fuel economy. Last edited by capten1001; 04-07-2022 at 12:55 PM.. |

With that said, you could carry multiple tunes and switch on the fly from the steering wheels, with lowest setting giving say the <10% of the timing, i.e. driving with valet mode... |

If anyone here is using BM3 with on the fly maps then they can chime in with their specific use-cases, process. Since you said you are considering, really should go with MHD instead... |

There are other places in this forum that discusses the various pros and cons of different vendors, and you should also checkout other forums of B58's. I just like MHD in how aggressive they are with their updates, features, hardware support (eg. E-tunes, flexfuel) and support. And if you go custom tune down the road then makes choosing these vendors even less important since they all offer means to flash custom tunes. I jumped on MHD mainly due to their history being started out on Android (i use Android mainly). |

I have BM3 on my F80 M3. For the OP, what you want is a BM3 tune with Multimap. Those tunes come with 4 slots, that can be programmed with different tunes, to include OTS tunes. There are some limitations as to which tunes can be put in each slot though. I don't know what comes in the Stage 1 or Stage 2 Multimap tune for the G01, but as an example, my F80 M3 has the following for the Stage 1 Multimap:
Map 1: ACN 91 Octane Map 2: 91 Octane Map 3: 93 Octane Map 4: Stock M3 CS Tune file As what was mentioned before, you can switch between all four tunes on the fly using steering wheel control buttons. You should contact PTF to verify what comes in the G01 Multimaps. But honestly, I would not worry about switching maps due to reliability concerns. The OTS BM3 maps are well proven for all current/modern BMW engines and if you stick with Stage 1 power levels, you really have nothing to worry about - just enjoy the new power .

OP what year is your car? Exactly what was stated above. You may be able to have steering wheel map switching. I have a 2020 I do not have that option. But that takes 10 seconds to go from stock to tuned. Or your regular option is using a obd phone or laptop connection to change from stock to tuned. That takes about 2 minutes to complete total with hooking everything up.
