PWG and BM3

DrBall · 10-11-2019, 12:53 PM

PGW n55 owner here about to grab a tune from either BM3 or MHD. Have supporting mods for s1, will get a DP and go s2 in the spring after my inspection.

question for the group is this.. im well aware that bm3 and pwg cars have had multiple issues (discussed at length here), but has there been progress in their OTS tunes on this platform? Curious since the n55 tunes have been out for a long while now.

Not trying to start a debate, just want to make sure i know as much as possible before purchasing a tune.

Its unlikely that youll find someone with a bm3 that says to go mhd.. way better options, great support. When i flash the x3 (pwg) im going bm3 with no reservations.

Not a single problem with the bm3 PWG stg1, stg2, and st2 e30 ots tunes.

Previous BM3 user here. I say go MHD. I switched around February because I had problems finding a PWG tuner for BM3 and because what I saw in my logs scared me (2H map).

BM3 2H map with PWG Pure stage 2 turbo for over 2 years no issues at all.

If I hadn't checked my logs I would also have lived in blissfull ignorance not knowing it was overboosting several psi on tip in with zero throttle closure and a crashing HPFP. Pulled like a beast though!

Sounds like a fuel pump problem

We offer BM3 and have a partnership with Tune By Jordan (Carythelabelguy). I strongly recommend reaching out to him and asking all the questions you have.

Looks like Jordan has also just joined the MHD family as well!!

Now you can get a custom tune from Jordan and flash through MHD

If you talk to that Jordan guy post some results here. I'm also curious. Plan on tuning soon and debating between MHD and Bm3

Yeah - or too little blinker fluid

The stock HPFP cannot keep up with +23psi - I believe "everyone" know this by now.

Sadly I dont have the logs to show as my user account was deleted when I sold my license.
