I was wondering if it was possible to get closer to M3 burbles with the B58.

I currently have the stage 1 tune coupled with an AFE catback. My duration is 1sec and aggression at 0.1. It's acceptable and not too bothersome, but the sound is more like a few popcorn bangs. I'd really like to get the typical M3 burble sound.

I have another issue with the app. I don't see much difference between 0.1 and 12 overall. It might be due to my aftermarket exhaust, but I have a feeling I'm not using the app properly. I got all kinds of sound level since I bought BM3 but it doesn't seem consistent at all. I usually modify the settings, go at the bottom to save and "flash now". It doesn't seem to download anything, just a brief upload.

I originally had the stage 1 93oct set on 1sec 0.1 aggression, it was kinda loud when I let off the throttle but very mild and nice on downshifts. I bought the map pack yesterday, flashed the stage 1 91oct instead with the OTS burbles. It's not that loud, but it's a little more meaty compared to the previous tune. What I find strange, I put 0.1 aggression with 3 duration and the sound is unchanged, only longer. I understand something was definitely done since the duration did change, but literally no difference to the sound level.

Hi,

Not sure if this is the right forum/thread but has anyone done a stage 1 tune on B38 engine. I'm been told by my local mechanic that bootmod3 is not suitable for B38 engines.

Seeking advise from fellow bimmer owners here....

thanks.
