Bootmod3 Now Available for the X3M/X4M S58

emfo · 11-30-2020, 01:05 PM

So is the latest that BM3 will not work on X3M with latest ECU software?
Hold off purchasing until PTF tells us it is resolved? Or has it been resolved?

I've been a customer of theirs for a year with zero problems flashing over a dozen times different OTS tunes. I was worried a recent DME update might have complicated things, but their tech support intervened with some previously unrequired additional steps and resolved everything. Go for it!

What are the new steps that previously weren't required?
Did they have to remove ecu?

I had BM3 on my f80 m3 but I just want to make sure it works on the latest ECU software for 2020 x3m.

Member of “The 700 Club” thanks to a custom E50 tune by F80 Paul 😉. Despite the big numbers (638 whp = 714 bhp with 12% dt loss or 733 bhp with 15% dt loss), it is incredible how smooth this tune is. Smoother than the OTS maps and absolutely compatible with daily driving. Happy Holidays!

How do you go about getting a custom tune from paul? Just by remote tuning I imagine? I always preferred the custom route vs ots

He gives you a base map, you flash, log, send him the log, and he sends you an update. Four to seven updates. A tedious process, but well worth it. Logs are very clean.

So what are you hitting 1/4 and what speed?

knepsterd · 12-24-2020, 05:55 PM

I’ll be impressed Suv 10.95 and 125-126 mph

knepsterd · 12-24-2020, 05:59 PM

10.6 131.6mph on e50

The dynojet numbers are pretty much identical. There shouldn’t be much difference.

What is the time 100-200 kmh?

Is no one concerned about losing the warranty on such an expensive drive train? I can't imagine what major (or minor) repairs would cost. I was told that any tuning will absolutely void the warranty.

Sorry, Limi, didn’t see your question. Haven’t measured yet. I think will be low 7.

Lol. Wrong forum thread. Lol.

Chaz55 · 01-01-2021, 07:23 PM

Well, I hope the lol doesn't turn into col down-the-line. I would love to tune my car but I'm not is brave as you guys. May the force be with you.

Just curious other than mission performance- did the BM3 team ever figure out how to tune the X3M to selectable RWD instead of only AWD?

And while we're asking random questions: Do you have to re-gap the spark plugs for bootmod? Looks like you do for mission performance.
