Thanks (and others), was gonna get flash map from local shop but might just go with bootmod3 seeing that most places nearby don't offer cold boot disable, closest I've found is London, like 4 hours one way drive, f that.

Anyone knows best way to get it in UK? seen one "retailer" but not sure.

Does anybody know why there's 2, stage 2 AGG tunes? Maybe a glitch on my car/BM3 license but it has shown 2 stage 2 AGG OTS maps since I activated my licence months ago. Is there a difference?

Can you screenshot and post it? There should only be a Stage 2, and a Stage 2 AGG.

That's weird... Sure, not a problem.

They both have the exact same info but one just has a little more info in the description.

Hmmm yah that's odd. I just have Stage 2 91 & 93 and Stage 2 91 & 93 AGG. Maybe just a glitch for EWG N55's, I'd be curious if other people in the same map grouping are seeing the same, or if it's just a glitch in your account.

Huh I just realized since they sent me a revised tune I'm now stuck at 4.1

I do wonder what "load control" is. Seems like all the tunes got an upgrade. Anyone flashed yet?

UPDATE:

Apps for iOS and Android are available on their respective App Stores as well as an updated OBD Agent (0.10.046) have been released.

Updates include:
- New dashboard layout (more updates coming here soon..)
- Additional OTS map updates for S55 with OPF/PPF filters
- TCU stock reflash updates for M2C and other S55s
- Various N55 EWG/PWG and N20 updates based on end-user feedback
- Online recode button is going away soon. Version 46 of the OBD Agent is now making this seldom used option unnecessary.

what do you mean by the various n55 ewg updates based on user feedback? are you referring to the latest 6.3 map? if not, then do you mean i need to reflash 6.3 with latest software to get these updates?

I need to unstall my bm3. Unfortunately i haven’t been following developments here or in the fb group.

I know that I need to flash back to stock and lock the dme. Is there anything else? What about Java. Does that issue still exist? Do I need to make sure I am running a certain version of Java ?

Flashing the car makes me nervous. Is there anything I need to be aware of?

Nope, just stock and lock. Nothing to worry about, I've done it a dozen times.

Months ago we used to require people to install Java separately and you could make a mistake and pick the wrong version which caused issues at times. That was fixed back then and the right version is just bundled inside the OBD Agent so nothing to worry about there, just install and flash.

UPDATE:

V52 pushed out last night has a number of enhancement updates and fixes. We've changed some of the agent's connection handling with the car as dash starts, logs start/stop, leave/re-enter the dashboard screen, run diagnostics making things much more zippy. Sporadic issue that would cause a blank log on v50-v51 of the agent at times has also been been resolved.

On the server we managed to also significantly speed up saving of map updates (e.g. map config save, saving changes in the table editor, getting OTS maps, sending map requests, etc). There was also a fix for the web/apps to the dashboard screen that at times on re-entry to the dashboard would show all the gauges stacked on top of each other.

Web and Android updates are out already, iOS v52 should hopefully be out on the app store some time today (awaiting apple review since last night).

****NOTE: Ensure you update your OBD Agent to v52 released late last night. If using the WiFi device get the latest SD card image and restore as we've updated the agent 'updater' on it and here's a link to it:

https://bootmod3.atlassian.net/wiki/...irmware+Update

Previous versions of the agent will NOT update over the air as the location where updater gets the agent updates from changed. If using a laptop agent we suggest just downloading and reinstalling the latest from www.bootmod3.net/downloads even if you possibly got v52 earlier yesterday ****

Don't go M3/M4 plugs as they are a step hotter than ours. They upgrade to our plugs, not the other way around. Gap is subjective but usually lies in the .020" to .026" range. Stage 2 does cancel out the CEL for a DP. Only pro/con I can think of is:

1) More Power. Do you hate more power?

2) You're catless, which means more emissions, which means you fail smog tests (depending on your state/county)
Hey I'm looking to change my spark plugs on my 2015 328i N20. Stock is SILZKBR8D8S. I am running stage 2 93 Oct with an FMIC and downpipe. I haven't touched the gaps at all and it's been running fine for 3 months. Any advice on how I should gap the new ones? 0.022?

I have mine at .025" for Stage 2 93oct. Some guys go down all the way to .018". Try anywhere between there and you'll find a sweet spot.

What’s the consensus on exhaust mods needed to run stage 2 on 320i with bm3? I have a 3 inch axle back exhaust now. Fmic on the way, already catless, eventually CP. My car has 40k miles - should I also get cooler plugs? I’ll probably run stage 1 most of the time and stage 2 when needed.

Just a downpipe, that's the only exhaust mod you'll need.

I'd recommend colder NGK L/I plugs, I run them myself, but it's not a must.
