Can you provide details on my other point:
I've seen some talk about track versions of maps. I'm assuming this if for people that do track days. Can PTF provide more details on that? I currntly run a conservative map 6 (JB4) with 101oct when doing track days.

Thanks.

Correct, iOS and Android devices are also not required. You can use a laptop for it all, Google Chrome being the supported browser.

The other point you had on the road course map, we don't have a finalized OTS specifically for the road course yet. We can put one together with you either as a custom tune or provide you a variation of one of the current OTS maps to use at a road course. Difference between road course and street maps typically is in two areas, linear instead of aggressive throttle and midrange torque lowered from where standard OTS maps have to bring it down and make that more linear as well.

Actually sounds like I would want the road coarse map as my daily map too. Probably helps against so much wheel spin and encourages revving the RPMs out Hope you get a OTS map like this done.

Should I expect to be able to get the same power that I get from my Jb4, but without having to run as much boost? I would think the with the timing and fuel tuning the BM3 provides this would be the case, no?

Thank you.

They probably have a non-compete clause. They are big into bmws thus the name.

They sell ESS too so they might go with it

Same question.

Amateur question here...

Couple years back I sent my ECU to ENZO for their tune, things didn't work out and I had to send it back to them to get flashed back to stock.

Would this mean my ECU is unlocked and ready for bootmod3? Or would I still have to send it in?

Appreciate the help.

No it's not unlocked, your original bench flash is different than an ECU obd bypass unlock. You must specifically unlock it once for $100 bucks. Good news is and I found this out recently unlocks can't be overwritten by dealer update. Only the flash will get wiped but you can flash back at home .

You can email info@tunedbyenzo and ask if he Unlocked you for OBD2 access if so then you're lucky.
or PM EnzoRacing

I can't seem to find a good comparaison of JB4 vs BM3 for the N55 anywhere.

Anybody did the switch and can pitch in of what the differences are power wise?

BM3>JB4. BM3 is squeezing numbers out of the stock turbo that were unheard of with JB4 previously.

So many of us have switched let me see, I'll post some videos I have from when I raced an FBO m235xi, 335gt active8, 335rwd dp+e40+jb4 before (jb4) and after with my latest N55 Stg2 93 octane map that I've been running on since mid-december (Daily Driven)

I don't even think BM3 is squeezing numbers lol, the goal of BM3 OTS Map is to get as much gains reliably without hurting drivability.
I do agree the stock turbo gains and Pure Turbo gains on 93 octane that BM3 has achieved was unheard before, since the N55 has a weak HPFP before it was a must to upgrade to Meth or PI for making power.
But now BM3 is proving them wrong, not by talking or writing nice marketing paragraphs but showing it on a proper Dynojet plot.

[FThirtyFive]

That's what counts to me the most of anything. FSociety is that your X4 in the vid they recently posted on their Instagram maybe? That thing moves and sounds so good! I'm thinking of picking one up to trade my current N55 in and that has me saying YES!

Yesir it is ! I should of posted it back in December lol when I took it.
And that video was 1 of the final revision I was logging and am running a newer better revision since christmas I will be recording this week against some F22/F30's

You should definitely test-drive it and see its so underrated. Mind you, stock power is 355hp/343tq which is plentiful for daily.

I just checked you website and didn't see any dyno graphs. I have only seen a few on here.

Its amazing the X4 M40i has the M2 upgraded N55 in it. Really starting to lean towards grabbing one.

Patiently waiting for the maxboost device so I can ditch my jb4

w/o the DCT and overboost, but thats ok more gains to be had
11 months later, 17,300 miles of fun = 0 issues or hiccups , 2 oil changes thus far.

LOL person #6 guess you're going AIC6 Custom Map to control PI ?

you know it! lol BM3 can only get 21psi out of the N20 tmap and I don't want to lose any power, so im just waiting on maxboost. Hopefully the new AIC6 is more user friendly.
