bootmod3 - World's First, Most Advanced and Widely Adopted BMW Flash Tuning Platform

Cloud based solution with a web based interface for use on macOS, Windows and mobile apps for iOS and Android.

Developed and tested in-house from the ground up over the course of almost 2 years prior to its November 2016 debut with new features and updates being added regularly makes the bootmod3 platform a custom BMW factory DME tuning solution like no other on the market today.

Build the ultimate tune for your S58 powered vehicle and go from stock to full race calibration, and everywhere in between, with a map switch in the provided mobile app. bootmod3 calibrates the factory vehicle modules over the OBD port in just 3 minutes, switching among maps in seconds, in the convenience of your driveway or anywhere internet access is available. After initial activation, flashing and datalogging in offline mode without internet connectivity is also available.

Maps and power gains with OTS maps based on X3M/X4M non-comp model:

Stage 1 ACN91 octane: 11%HP / 25% TQ
Stage 1 91 octane (95 RON): 17% HP / 28% TQ
Stage 1 93 octane: 21% HP / 31% TQ
Stage 1 E30 octane: 31% HP / 41% TQ
Stage 2 ACN91 octane: 13%HP / 28% TQ
Stage 2 91 octane: 20% HP / 30% TQ
Stage 2 93 octane: 23% HP / 34% TQ
Stage 2 E30 octane: 33% HP / 44% TQ
Stage 2 Race Gas: 33% HP / 44% TQ
** ACN91 maps are for vehicles that fill up with 91 octane that in some places around the Globe can be of questionable quality and not up to 91 (95 RON) standards. Lower than 95 RON (US 91 octane) cannot be used.

Vehicle Models Supported:

Wow, that is amazing. I can’t imagine how quick these cars will be with 21% HP and 31% extra torque on a stage 1 tune. I’m looking forward to some real world acceleration data.

Why is the power gain so small for ACN91? Is this something that will get updates with more hp in the future as more testing is done on ACN91?

I have an X3M comp and it would only give me about 4% more hp. On my S55, I am getting 20% more hp with the ACN91 tune.

Maybe we are starting with a VERY conservative tune for ACN91 to avoid knock on early "test customers"?

Don't get me wrong, I love the tune on my S55 and Bootmod3 is awesome.

Stage 1 ACN91 octane: 11%HP / 25% TQ a low quality fuel is not bad actually. Thats 560 HP / 552 TQ from a simple tune.

Im sure with time, newer maps will be more aggressive.

It also depends on how much BMW are pushing the car stock

Your first post explicitly says it's a 11% HP gain for the *non-competition* X3M. So that's closer to 520 HP.

Considering the X3M comp has 500 HP already, 20HP is not that much.

Right as i said in my post, its a mix of bad fuel + how much HP space left by BMW

Indeed, that makes sense, however I find the fuel quality part rather strange because the ACN91 Stage 1 tune for the S55 M4 made pretty much the same HP as the regular Stage 1 91.

The Stage 1 91 for the F97 makes a 17% gain, which is very respectable, while the ACN91 is making 11%. That is a huge difference just based on fuel quality.

Thats because it looks like BMW were more conservative with the S55.

They did the same with the 335. The N54 can easily push another 100 HP with only a tune. Then they came out with the N55 which could only do 40 HP

So as of today, the S55 is actually a more powerful engine than the S58 at full potential on ACN91!?

Because with ACN91 and bootmod3, I have almost 550HP at the crank on the S55, while this ACN91 tune for the S58 only goes to 520.

Was wondering the same thing myself with tunes in general actually. Never used the s55 platform but in researching I’ve been trying to draw parallels and scratching my head a bit.

[traffic335]

I'm running Stage 1 93 octane and it's a beast. It is a completely different vehicle on this tune. Everything from part throttle tip in to WOT is a significant improvement.

[traffic335]

I'm going to be working on a E85 tune. If I squeeze in a couple pulls on a Dynojet, I'll post the results. Hoping for around 620whp once boost and timing is sorted. For anyone on the fence about BM3, I can vouch for how good Stage 1 93 is.

The thing is, I KNOW how good bootmod is. It is the best. However, I am confused at how little power ACN 91 makes so far. Especially compared to regular stage 1 91. On the s55 and other engines, there is not such a big difference between ACN91 and 91. What I would like to know is why, and nobody has been able to give a satisfactory answer to that so far. I don’t want to hear a shameless plug for racechip, which I definitely do not want to buy.

I suspect that the only people who know the answer are the ones who released and tested the tunes.

You are mixing numbers here. In order to make a comparison you need to use the same source.

Based on PTF website, S55 on 91 (not 91 ACN) power is 20% HP 22% TQ
Considering stock numbers are 425 and 405 tq
power with stage 1 is 510 HP 494 TQ
Remember this is 91 not 91 ACN


the S58 power is 11% HP and 25% TQ
considering stock numbers are 480 HP and 443 TQ
power with stage 1 532 and 553 TQ

the S58 is making more power on lower grade fuel.

If you compare the 2 on the same grade fuel like 91 the S58 is making 561 HP and 567 TQ

You're really overthinking this whole thing...

It's an OTS tune for shit gas, of course it's going to be really conservative

When I ran BM3 on my B58 M240i, I saw better results on normal stg1 vs the ACN stg1, and I live in CA with our shitty 91. For my car....logs looked better on the normal stg1 than the ACN, and car felt stronger. Results may vary....

S58
Stage 1 ACN91 octane: 11%HP / 25% TQ
Stage 1 91 octane (95 RON): 17% HP / 28% TQ
Stage 1 93 octane: 21% HP / 31% TQ

S55
Stage 1 91: up to 20%HP / 22%TQ
Stage 1 93: up to 22%HP / 23%TQ


I mean its definitely interesting how there is only 2% different in S55 and 4% in S58. But then again testing has only just begun so I can only assume these figure will increase over the next 12 months.

I'm sure you are correct that it will get better with time, however I am not comparing 91 vs 93. I am comparing Stage 1 ACN 91 vs Stage 1 91.

The S55 Stage 1 ACN 91 gains are not listed there, but I can assure you that it is very close to Stage 1 91. This is not the case with the S58. The question is: why are they so far apart for the S58?

I was not mixing the numbers because I was using the 550hp figure from my own Stage 1 ACN91 S55 dyno.

Obviously, you're correct about the part where you compare the two on the same non-ACN 91 fuel.

My question about the low grade fuel still remains unanswered though -- why is the gap so high between ACN91 and 91 for the S58, but not the S55?

I have zero experience with bm3 but that said I think the point is your logic has holes in it as your comparing published figures to your personal figures. Different gas, different dyno, different conditions.

Take an s58 use 91 ACN file fill with gas from the same gas station you use then compare results on the same dyno. That’s literally the only way even then the tune is brand new. Right now we are comparing apples to oranges. Time will tell if your theory is correct of course but right now there’s not enough information to know for sure.

My 2cents

Where are published figures on S55? ACN91 vs 91?

It seems he's using personal numbers and experience to draw broad conclusion...apples to oranges as you said

Try your S58 with ACN91 gas and tune, then try stg1 with "better" 91 and I think you will find similar results and gains that you saw on your S55. You live in Germany...why are you using ACN91 tune anyway?
