Partial load vibration/Stumbling (N55-EWG-Bootmod3 stage1/91)
Hi guys !
I know this has been a common issue with with many N55 and N54 tunes but I'm hoping for those who fixed this can update me . My car is experiencing a vibrations/stumbling at low throttle from (50 to 75 mph). The vibration can be felt under the floor and seat on partial load (2-3K) RPM on 5th,6th and 7th (50 to 75 mph). Current Mileage (44K miles) The issue is completely eliminated when reverting to stock map. Please note, I'm running (93 Octane) and the below has been checked and tested: -All possible issue-related mechanical parts has been checked. -BMW BOSCH Spark plugs were recently installed. -Ignition coils were tested through ISTA+ and multimeter. -Charge pipe fittings are tight and the O-Ring is on the right place. -Downpipe is properly installed with O2 sensors. -MAF and MAP sensors was cleaned. -Air intake filter was recently replaced. -No Vacuum leaks. -No engine codes I have noticed ignition retardation and overboost on these maps (BM3-Stage 1/91 (ACN91, V7.1) please find attached 3 versions datalogs. https://datazap.me/u/wiz992/bm3-stag...1?log=0&data=6 Any help would be appreciated |

FYI, overboost is typical in BM3 logs. So that's not abnormal to your car.
The logs you posted are WOT. Can you log ~5 seconds of the issue occuring? Also, you said you are running 93 fuel, and this is the ACN 91 map. That's fine, but since the issue goes away on stock map, have you tried either the 91 map or the 93 map to see if you still have the issue? The ACN map overall is less refined from what i have seen. The load throttle high load may not be as dialed in. |

Please find the below 4 logs taken taken today on partial throttle. You can see the advance ignition timings from (49 mph) where the vibrations start. https://datazap.me/u/wiz992/stage-1-...0?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/wiz992/log-1606149385?log=0&data=6 |

Your AFR is spiking to 16:1, I have a similar problem at low speed when I cold start and drive off. I get AFR spikes I can see on my iPhone BM3 gauges to approximately 16:1 which causes the car to stumble, this only happens around 10mph.

Yeah I've heard that, Cold start causes AFR spikes and stumbling for some and even though with the cold start being OFF it didn't make any difference. Only three things left to do (Replace ignition coils that has no codes or misfires, cleaning the injectors and intake manifold).

The tune used to be smooth. specially it's a BM3-OTS map that has been tested with many N55-EWG engines. I know sometimes the tune might respond differently to different models/systems but I feel it's weak chance and I'm using 93 Octane fuel on 91 maps (V6.4, V7.1 and ACN91). so that's why i eliminated those possibilities.

So just to confirm, you tried different versions of the normal 91 map and you also tried the ACN 91 map and its the same in all cases? Did you try the 93 map? Also, just because it doesnt happen on stock tune doesnt necessarily mean the tune itself is the problem. It could just be that the tune reveals/exacerbates a hardware problem that isnt present on the stock (conservative) tune. |

Partial throttle/full load explanation: These cars are torque based, so at this pedal input it will make whatever torque is requested. Since ignition timing is low it will increase boost pressure to reach its target.

If the problem wasnt happening on v6.4 originally then later started to happen on that map then its almost certainly a hardware issue and not a tune issue. You could try running some techron through your tank, it works well for some people per other threads, incase it is injector-related. |

Tachyon and intake manifold cleaner would be my step 2. |

You can get Eldors for around $200 shipped. I really don't think this is ignition related and the difference between 6.4 and 7.1 is huge, Halim changed the whole tuning philosophy from my understanding. My car sounds quite a bit different on the old tunes.

Update: after replacing the ignition coils
Hi guys,
So today as i was trying to target the weak coils, i noticed 40% improvement and felt still there are more than 2 weak coils. So i decided to pick the remaining coils. After replacing all the coils i've noticed a huge improvement (85% less rear vibrations/stumbling and ofcourse sharper throttle response). So 15% of low vibration is still present and that might be due to dirty throttle body (Layer of oil residue has been noticed inside the CP) or clogged injectors. |

That's true. V6.4 is way smoother than V7.1. After replacing the coils V7.1 was responding as mentioned above. However, ACN91 was rough as always. Later on, I'll test the car on V6.4. |

Update on the subject
Hi guys !
unfortunately the rear vibrations came back. It’s like coils reduced it for 2 days and now has returned to the old behavior. This only happens only high boost/Low RPM (below 3K) specially on high gears (5,6&7). I’m not sure what else to check other than the flex disk and engine mounts which i hardly suspect due to irrelative symptoms. Already started running techron just in case. |
