Which Tune To Get For The B48?
Hi,
I own a 430i which has the B48 engine. It produced 252 horsepower and I would ideally like it be in the 300 range. It seems like Bootmod3 is the tune to go for but the website says that I will only be gaining around 14% horsepower in stage 1 for my car. This would mean I'd only be in the high 200s and won't touch 300HP. Do these numbers really matter in this case or will it still be worth going for Bootmod, or should I look at some other tune? Thanks! |

The 330i isn't an ideal car for tuning as the B48 in this engine is already tuned quite a bit from the factory (it's basically the same engine as the one in 320i that's making 184hp).
Bootmod3 would be a good way to get a safe increase. Stage 2 will get you close to 300hp.

Mgflasher is awesome for b48! I have 184 hp 20i version with st2 tune and that’s around 330 hp confirmed with logs and dragy tests. St1 would be good for 300 hp and safe at the same time! Also MGFlasher have some really nice and unique features and it’s cheaper than bm3.

what's the math for logs and draggy to determine HP? I never understood this.
I have a B46 (US version of B48) xdrive with BM3 stage 1 93 and on the Mustang dyno, it shows 233whp which is about a 20hp increase over stock. Haven't found a local non Mustang dyno to try. |

But how could draggy numbers correlate to horsepower? Too many variables like tires, temperature, road surface, etc. If a time changes by 0.1 or 0.2 seconds, it could be caused by almost anything and wouldn't correlate to a specific amount of horsepower gained. |

I have all of that data. MGF St2 ots Is about 1 full second quicker than stock 330 0-100 kph. 100-200 kph is about 5 seconds quicker, 1/4 also about 1 full second quicker.

curious too see the difference if dyno numbers means nothing, then you will say dragy numbers is a solid number? then what's the purpose of tuner and workshop spend thousand of dollars installing dyno machine and testing their tune on dyno machine? and customer spend hundred of dollars just to run on dyno? |

I only got this 5,2 seconds 0-100 bm3 st2 for 95 octane for 330ix. My 320ix st2 OTS for 98 octane runs 4,8 most of the time with 4,7 was the best. I’ll try to find another tuned 320/330 in my city and race it...

you can't expect octane 95 to run as good as octane 98, right? |

yes there is a difference, but not such big. MGF st1 for 95 octane ran 5.1 for me. So its still quicker than st2 bm3 for the same octane. Also much bigger difference after 100 kph, there is arond 2 seconds gap between MGF st2 and BM3 st2 from 100 kph to 200 kph. Im not saing bm3 is a bad tune, just saing that mgf is quicker.

but then again, it's from dragy result, which i don't know if it's true, the same thing you said for dyno number because i believe, most of tuner (including MGF perhaps), develop their tuning on dyno machine. they will develope their tune not just based on hp and tq gain, but also the powerband across various rpm and other variables |

Just to mention: that car with bm3 has never break 5 sec barrier, while my car consistently runs less then 5 seconds. For example yesterday I had 4,9 with around 50 kg additional weight in the car, also it was uphill. So it would be 4,8 easily if weren’t uphill.
