Sounds good... looking forward to seeing it.
Note I am seeing a 15% discount on xhp this weekend so take advantage of it.

Your right. Plus the versions are still 1.0 not 1.1

I got it and flashed it yesterday.
Seems kind of "stock-like" as it should have been from factory. A bit faster shifts but still smooth.

Any recommended settings for the flash?

With just BM3 stg1 93oct the sport display dials topped up at 340Hp.
After installing Xhp seemed like the car has gained 10-20hp , so I payed attention to the Hp and Nm sport display dials and realized that at the higher range of rpm (after 4000) the car had higher torque numbers and topped at 400Hp !

Today I visited a MAHA dyno and the gains were proven real!
387Hp and 560Nm at the crank F30 330e with stg1 98RON Bootmod3+stg3 Xhp!

The car should top at 340Hp with just a tune according to br-performance the only tuner that announces a specific tune for the F30-330e and the rest of the Hp are attributed to Xhp removing the torque limiter so the electric motor adds all the power it can.

A similar F30 330e on the same dyno has delivered as stock 278Hp and 410Nm so we are talking about +110Hp of gains as stg1+Xhp !

I tried to dyno again after getting Xhp back to stock but it did not return the torque limiter back to stock-just the gear changes , so topped up again at 387Hp.If you want to reset the torque limiter , press ''full uninstall''.

@SRHosein-topic starter.
361Hp on the wheels with 95RON fuel , should be more than 420Hp at crank with 98RON and that sounds impossible without Xhp tuning. You should better declare the (361-267) 94Hp as stg2 95RON gains that is also a lot for just 95Ron but closer to real life numbers .

Here is the dyno video and charts. Note this is on a dynojet and the 361whp is a new BM3 map that is not released to public as yet. Car made more power with a certain custom tune but won't advertise numbers as yet as custom tune is not finished.

I don't dought that the dyno measured 361whp-I have seen the video.I am just saying that it does not tell us the absolute truth.
When it measures a totally stock car declared by BMW as 255Hp and finds it to be as 268whp (!) it shoul be around 315 Hp at crank (with about 15% losses) !!! As you can imagine there is no way your car has 60Hp more than the factory declared with just 95Ron fuel. This is why I suggested declaring the gains of Hp but of course I understand the reason you prefer to declare the absolute measured number.

Majority of the BMW 330e that I know get anywhere from 240whp to 268whp stock. BMW typically derate their engines. You can check users from Thailand, Malaysia, Trinidad, ect all have about same stock ratings. When tuned with BM3 all get around 350whp with a BM3 stage 2 OTS tune. Which is about 82whp in gains. A mustang dyno should read less. But that is my experience. I also use stock and tuned as a reference. If you dyno your 330e you should see similar results stock. This car did 13.01s (dragy) with a bm3 stage 2 OTS 91oct map as well so you can compare that as well for reference. See below some references:

I rest my case about dynos. It is a great dispute among all automotive fora around the world and not the topic's subject. What I finally want to say is just that stg1 98RON Bootmod3+stg3 Xhp adds +110Hp @ crank.Case closed!

I am more concerned about the torque in the mid range and the safety of the transmission that in case of failure may be a very expensive damage.My sport mode dials indicate a top torque of 550Nm until 5.000rpm (until 4.000rpm before Xhp) that has been confirmed by my dyno run and makes me nervous that it may be too much in the long run.
Otherwise if it is an absolute top limit of torque that the transmission can handle we can ''safely'' mod the car to reach 550Nm until 6.500rpm!

I believe at those power levels you should be safe as transmission GA8P75HZ is rated for 750nm at crank which is more that what the Toyota Supra's transmission is rated for. Also know a couple guys running over 650nm at the wheels. Also have some people with built engines and big turbo. The typical weak spots are pistons and rods for big power. I managed to damage the flex disc between the transmission and drive shaft (heavy vibration under heavy acceleration) but this is due to launching the car plenty at track. Majority of the time sports displays don't be accurate as tuners can adjust to whatever they want and need to calibrate it. Also the initial torque is what puts the most damages, tuners can adjust to have torque slowly ramp in to add a layer of safety.

Great info!
Are there people with built engines and big turbo on a F30 330e ? If so we would love to hearing more from them.

Yes there are but they are mostly quiet lol.
I know a guy who did 25psi on big turbo engine internals lasted 2 months then he had piston damage. He replaced pistons and rods; nothing else was damaged.
