RaceChip is a piggyback, but very well-respected from what I've seen.

I’ve been very happy so far, car is significantly quicker mid range. Other options would be TMC or DTUK. Also JB4 if you’re feeling athletic and can successfully route cables through the firewall! |

I am wondering if visiting a BM3 dealer for a custom tune, instead of sending out the ECU.
Like I said I might as well get a custom dyno tune at this point. Since I have the new software. Once they tune it with BM3, will I be able to use the other features of having on the fly adjustments burbles or switching maps? Or is that still fully locked and only interchangeable with a actual tuner visit or sending out ECU again? I sent BM3 a question but no response. Anyone here know?

Stg2 e30 below:
Seems to be that downpipe in the newer bmws don't make a difference in top end performance. Stg1 was faster in my opinion.

Downpipe does start making a difference with time. Your tune would soon or late start melting the stock primary cats and this would restrict the flow and increase the back pressure.

I wanted to try out BM3, to see what options they have available as its almost April and the BMW software update was released back in November. So I was hoping that maybe there are some tuning options available.
I was using MHD and the results were good, in the beta but the last time I was able to flash with them was beginning of January. Thats when I updated the BMW software in the Idrive. And it has been a very slow process getting any ETA from them. Since Im sure they are pretty much fully focused on the F97 vehicles and the GR Supra. Yesterday I contacted BM3, and they wanted me to send them a DME software code for them to review if they can do anything. And I got this reply- It does look like you have the latest software update installed, which prevents it being flashed directly On another hand, and I failed to mention this initially - we currently do not have support for 2020 X3 M40i, only 2017-2019. Sorry for any inconvenience. Please continue to follow our social media for all the latest updates and developments. Kind Regards, bm3

Yeah MHD has been trying to crack it for over 3 months. Point is anyone with a 2020 and new software is stuck with 0 tuning options.

I also mentioned this since the 2020 is a new market. Its also a fairly small market at the time compared to the Supra and X3M community. I truly hope that these companies dont forget about us and also focus to sell us tunes. We have the money ready. Lol.

Has anyone with a 2020 tried the Active Autowerke tune? Over on the B58 forum they say they've gotten past the latest software version and the tune is working via OBD2
