BM3 or MHD
I've read all the BM3 and MHD threads and even the vs one but am still inconclusive as to what to get. I'm hoping someone can convince me as I think the flash tunes are a better choice than the JB4 that I have used for a couple years on my F30 and before on my e90. I have no problems with the JB4, but feel as if the flashes will give a different feel to the car and maybe more power.
Guess, it's the feel like modding and want to move into what is in now. I have spent hours reading these threads and after reading about MHD I want to get that and then after reading BM3 I feel like that is better. I've seen guys posting 0-60 times pretty close but cannot determine if one is faster. Not concerned about price as MHD seems to be a little less--if BM3 is better paying a little more is no problem. Or maybe they really are the same. I have a 2013 PWG 335, catless, CP. I do tend to use e85. I have an ENet cable and use android. I do not have the Dkan cable...just a few bits of where I stand and hoping somebody can push me over the edge.

Can't go wrong with bm3. OTS maps are solid and you can find tuners for custom tune if you want.

What features does BM3 have that MHD does not? They both have burbles, e85 maps and CEL clear.

Yeah, I'm hoping somebody helps me decide as I am ready...not in a rush but can't make a decision. So, are you going with BM3?

This should get me to BM3 stage 1, then I'll go stage 2 once DP is installed. I also have a Dinan Sport piggy, but not sure how it would work into the current setup. Can I have the tune stacked on top of BM3? Anyone know? |

If you were to keep the Dinan as your boost controller you basically are using the flash as a back-end..but that basically defeats the purpose of why we are going for a flash--to have one device controlling everything in the best way.

FWIW you can resell the bm3 license if you decide to sell the car. Can't do that with MHD AFAIK.

Also, E30 and Race gas maps, as well as more options for custom tuners. Admittedly, I have not really been keeping up with all the MHD development in 2018, but that's also because their online presence is not as robust as BM3. Key word in my initial post is currently. Obviously, BM3 has been around a couple years longer than MHD (for N55), so they've had a head start on time and user base to develop and tweak. Not saying MHD will not eventually catch up or even exceed what BM3 has accomplished. Just my 2 cents. Last edited by dr.roro; 07-31-2018 at 05:37 PM.. |

Well MHD has all of those things as well. Plus you can remove top speed limiter, reset all adaptations and not to mention the data logging capabilities. I'am currently running a 95 octane tune running full 100 octane racing gas on my daily driven 435i Xdrive I'm FBO Stage 2+ and it sure is fun spinning the rear wheels on Xdrive before the fronts kick in. Also MHD just started a Facebook group page. In addition to their WhatsApp group chat which is great. Plus honestly just had some inquiry's and heard back from them via email and Facebook within 1-2 days. Either way BM3 or MHD you probably won't be disappointed. The N55 engine is great when tuned.
