bootmod3 for BMW F series Vehicles - General Discussion

BeerHerder · 06-26-2019, 02:42 PM

Posted this up on the facebook group, but didn't get any comments. Anybody available to take a look and let me know if you see anything odd on these? First time doing data logging.

N55 335 xDrive, no hardware mods. Flashed to v 6.4 Stage 1 93 Octane last night. Failed, then it went into automatic full flash. All good and feels smoother than 6.3. Seems like timing across all 6 cylinders is good. Anything else look off that I should be concerned about?
Planning on doing the trans flash tonight.

Assuming you're talking to me?

Stock, stock, Shell or Costco 93.

Anyone having a huge delay in paddle response/shift delay after the transmission flash? I have the sports automatic option (2TB) and after the flash I definitely feel a huge delay on the paddles when shifting. The upshifts are also quieter/shorter upshift “burp”. I have bootmod3 stage 2 93 so the torque limit removal is huge. I like how when braking the car downshifts a bit higher. Hopefully they update the paddle response soon. Paddle shifting takes x2-x3 longer than before.

Looks pretty good, IATs are getting pretty high.

On my recent datalogs the car was pulling timing on cylinder 4, and its the same in your data log. I wonder if its just the summer heat.

Agree with TSA, your intake temps skyrocket during that pull, and the ambient temps are only showing 62F. If it gets really hot out, that's going to be an issue. I assume you're running stock intercooler?

No. Try to reset your adaptations maybe

you need a more efficient FMIC or meth

I'm interested in getting Dinan shockware so I don't have to switch to sport to get the less floaty suspension, but don't see the point if comfort and sport have different throttle response settings. My exhaust tone sounds better in sport and I can tell when I have forgotten to switch it. It's just louder.

Anyone know this?

So I can say I can relate to something similar. But I switched to a new AWE catback + BM3 Stg1 + BM3 transmission flash all in one install. So I did not have a chance to run BM3 on my old MPE.
However with my new setup, comfort mode is definitely a lower, more boomy tone than Sport. Even if I'm not moving, when I switch to Sport, the tone and frequency instantly changes and idle sounds/feels different.
AWE is not valved so I found this interesting. Unfortunately the more boominess can lead to drone around 2k RPM for me (lessens when the car is warmed up) but that's fine because I'm almost always in Sport.

I know most would suggest replacing spark plugs but is this absolutely necessary on a N55 stage 1 tune? Intercooler and charge pipe have already been upgraded and running 93 octane.

How many miles on your plugs?

BigJack75 · 07-02-2019, 06:15 PM

I’m just over 47k.

JaredG_F30 · 07-03-2019, 01:29 PM

Whoa...yeah replace the plugs. I replace mine every 20k.

I would like to know if it will be ever possible to switch maps in our F3x platform.

I mean 1 map for eco, 2nd map in comfort and a 3rd map in sport.

thanks

Hey guys, I remember doing the most recent 6.2 update back in january... but it said " *UPDATE AVAILABLE* " so I reflashed it just now...

However, the app still says that UPDATE AVAILABLE (screenshot). even after completing the flash.

Am I doing something wrong or it will just always say that?

It's telling you that v6.4 is out. You can add it to your maps from the ots maps tab.

Wow every 20k. I hope you are doing your own work here. Dealer prices are a rip off.

I just ordered some and will replace them soon.

Thanks for the advice.

Hahaa that makes perfect sense, I just downloaded and flashed it... thank you very much!!!

good morning all,

my car has been doing it's stutter more frequently under WOT. seems to happen consistently around 2500-4000rpm. Car feels otherwise completely fine at all other times, so I am really confused what is causing this. If anyone here could offer some insight that would be great! Finally have a decent log showing the turbo breaking up and then picking back up again under WOT

JaredG_F30 · 07-08-2019, 10:25 AM

Yes doing my own work and getting plugs from FCP Euro. Spark plug changes cost me about $7, the cost of shipping the old plugs back to FCP Euro.

JaredG_F30 · 07-08-2019, 10:30 AM

It's hard to tell from that log. It looks like you are having some throttle closures which may be due to traction control. Do another log in 3rd gear from 2500 RPM to redline with traction control and stability control turned off.
