BMS open billet.
GTS start up roar is working fine with me. The only issue i had its engine choke when start-up, because of the rpm will slightly drop-down, causing choke.

I'm trying to resist the urge to just put the custom burble sliders to max on my stage 1 B48 but I can BARELY hear a difference with the OTS settings or if I set aggression to around 8 or so... is this just typical of a completely stock car with no intake or exhaust mods?

Yeah I’ll probably land in the same place, I test drove an X3 M40i last week and it was so obnoxious in Sport mode with all the pops and burbles that I’d be embarrassed to drive it like that. If it’s a legit M car i get it but they’re getting a little silly with the Semi-M lineup. It was way noisier than my E70 X5M. I ended up in a Maserati Levante as a rental for awhile by accident and my wife kept telling me to stop being such an asshole in traffic because it was making so much unnecessary noise; then she drove it and had to apologize when she realized it just sounds like that on its own.

The only reason I really want to turn up the volume a little on my B48 is to drown out the fuel injector noise and diesel like clatter it makes normally!

I installed a better amp and crank up the volume.

I was planning on catless dp so I could go stage 2 but I still would’ve kept burbles off.

Same here
Even on Stage 2 AGG, Max aggresion, can't spot any different with the OTS.
330i B48 engine, with catless DP, straight pipe exhaust, and BMS open filter.

Previously use on 320i N20, and the difference is day and night

Yeah I think the N20 maps are much further along in development, I'm happy with it running well and we can get the extra stuff later if it shows up.

yup, the N20 map is updated recently, while B48 map last update is 1 year ago

I have a 2014 320i and I am thinking of taking advantage of the Black Friday offer and get BM3 Stage 1 on my car.
the only dilemma is that this is my daily car and I do around 10K miles a year on it and reliability is important for me.
I am not looking to race with it and most of the time drive it moderate but want once in a while to enjoy a bit more power.

I would love to get some feedback here from people who have it for some time...

thanx

Exclamation Battery issues after Bootmod3

Please help,
I have a 2015 320i N20 with light bolt-ons.
I bought BM3 about 3 months ago and stage 1 flashed it, and at first I loved it!!
I mean my buddy has a FBO stage 1 G37 and I was running within 3 car lengths of him... Unfortunately this excitement didn't last for long...
After about a week I started to get a warning every time I turned on the car saying, "Increased battery discharge while stopped". I just kinda blew it off for a while until one day I went to start up my car and the battery was completely dead... I've taken it to the dealership and many other shops and the general consensus is that I have a parasitic drain on the battery... I've had the battery replaced since then and the dealership is quoting me thousands of dollars to replace things that may or may not fix the problem...
This is my last option before I either spend the money to possibly fix the problem or part out the car...
If anyone has any information or has experienced this issue in the past PLEASE help me out!!!

You have bm3. Run the diagnostics and check for codes. Use those codes to get info on what the problem is on google/forums. Buy appropriate replacement parts yourself and have dealership/indy do the work. I bet it isn't as drastic as it feels/sounds.

Also BMW has said that the problem could be either the FEM module or the instrument cluster, they said that the instrument cluster was pulling over 8 amps of electricity...

I'll look into that, my car is currently at the dealership so I'll probably go pick it up tomorrow morning and check that out!! I haven't ever run any codes through BM3 so if you or anyone else can help me figure out how to do that that would be cool!!

I would strongly recommend reading the bootmod3 user manual. Found at https://bootmod3.atlassian.net/wiki/...d3+User+Manual.

Check out the "Diagnostics" chapter for information on reading codes.

Is it possible to run BM3 with the wifi agent asking with a JB4 at the same time?

I want to use the jb4 as a WMI controller and the BM3 for logging since it keeps track of knock events whereas the jb4 doesn't
