Are your ots maps free of charge?

And is your stage 2+ for ethanol blend?

You get 1 map for free when purchasing the license + OEM MPPSK tune.

To get additional maps, you need to buy the $50 map pack to unlock all the tunes.

Weird things going on in v2.1
When I flash the car, start engine and put in D mode, the car starts in 3th gear. After once switching off on the car this issue is gone

I haven't noticed the gear issues (yet) on 2.1, but I have noticed a dramatic change in the 'startup roar'. The car startup now sounds more like the MPPSK standard startup, and drones loud for about 20-25 seconds.

In map 2.0, the startup roar came on right away (loud) but died down just as fast (few seconds). I've tried every variation available on the 2.1 map and it just does not sound the same.

*Edit* this was my fault- I failed to turn off the 'Cold Start' option when configuring the map. It's now fixed and sounds great again!

Here a short vid of changing the gears after flashing. This was in parking mode. Even when driving it won't shift down to gear 1 or 2. Only above 50 kmh I can downshift. So weird. First time I almost launched myself to the ISS in 3rd gear because I got no response like the first gear lol. Still happening! https://youtu.be/KJ2i9XkmnKg

About 70km into having a CTS turbo catless DP and bm3 stg 2 91 OTS map I have to say I am incredibly impressed. The difference going from stock to stage 2 is immense.

Oh shoot I didn't know that. So you can't run stock HPFP on stage 2 tune at all?

Hello,

Can someone help with few questions below?

If one has say non-stock flash tune before flashing with bootmod3, how does the reverting back to stock performance map will work? Does bootmod3 allow saving off the current stock map(s)?

My B58 DME is locked (due to recent software update campaign for rear camera fix that i end up doing, urgh...), so had to be bench unlocked first.

Does re-locking the DME to stock programming by bootmod3 cause DME to revert to that same locked state, and subsequent unlock will then again require bench unlocking?

Lastly, say one already has non-stock flash tune, eg. from Carbahn. Can bootmod3 flash on top of that non-stock maps? And also save off that non-stock maps to say ping pong between bootmod3 and Carbahn tunes?

Thannks much!

Drivetrain Malfunction on Stage 1 93 Octane

Tuned to stage 1 93 octane on 2016 340i just yesterday and today after some spirited driving I got a code popping up on idrive saying Drivetrain Malfunction, max power output not available. Is this common? What do I do to troubleshoot?

Bench unlock can't be fully reverted over OBD until an exploit is found. It will "lock" it in the same sense that other DMEs are locked prior to the update you received.

The stock file that is backed up by bootmod3 is whatever you are running when you do the unlock. So if you have stock, MPPSK, or another aftermarket tune, it will back that up as the stock file. If your stock DME programming is ever updated, PTF can clear your stock file so you can backup the new one (I did this later year after a recall DME Update).

Hey all, just acquired a BM3 license for my 2018 440xi 6MT. Waiting on cables to arrive Thursday to get things started, but before they arrived I wanted to sort out which tune I should be using.

Currently has about half a tank of midgrade (89) from Ny but I'll be putting premium in moving forward (93). No performance mods (just exhaust valves unplugged and dinan mid pipes) and the car has 16,7xx miles on it.

What tune should I be using? Can I safely do a Stage 2 91/93 octane tune? Or should I stick to a stage 1 tune?

Am I safe selecting Stage 2 93 with AGG or OTS burbles using stock cats/pipes?

And which B58-T0-x OTS tune should I use? I see a lot of T0-B/C/D in the BM3 web index right now.

Appreciate any guidance as I'm a bit of a newbie at this!

Any guidance on if there is a difference in the different B58-XX-Xx OTS tunes I see? Or are they all the same?

Read the codes.
The codes were for clutch damage but since this happened literally one day into the tune I assumed it wasn't an actual issue but a result of the flash. Turns out BM3 has a "recode" option that will clear the code and they specifically call out that the drivetrain malfunction that pops up sometimes after a successful flash. Hope this helps anyone else freaked out by the same issue
