Last year, I did a thorough A-B test comparing stock to JB+.

https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1509761

This year, (once my CPO warranty ends in Sep), I will be doing the same between stock and BM3 stage 1.

Not expecting you to wait, as I am sure you'd like to get extra power sooner than that. But be on the lookout for some good, hard data and scientific comparison.

The real bonus will be, using WinPEP, I can take the dyno data from all 3 states of tune and overlay them on the same graph. That will be the cool part and should allow for some really insightful observations.

Though I don't blame folks for trusting their butt dynos, I always need proof in order to believe that something really does work. Stay tuned and good luck with your tune.

I seriously cannot wait for this.

Looking forward to this!

My Experience with the JB+ was that (because it only boosts psi) it would kick in at close to 4000rpm and the power gain was very noticeable. I have used Torque to data log and would see a max psi in the region of 19psi all up. I have gone up against many 3 litre v6 cars, power to weight ratio being a big factor here but have left them behind from a dig and pulled away. i have also gone up against an Audi S3 and it was very close, with the S3 pulling away slightly. The one thing that did bother me with the JB+ was the fact that it made the car jerky and was not that smooth through the gears but overall I had a great experience with it.

I decided to take it a step further and also wanted some burbles so decided to go with the bootmod3 stage1 tune. Have been running the tune for a couple of days now and from my experience what a difference over the JB+. More power and smoother to boot, my car feels like anther machine. Same torque app used on same profile setting and my psi is now at 21.9psi. I also noted that the sports display has been re calibrated through bootmod3 and i have got it to 220KW. (295HP). Ready to take on the Audi S3 again for a rematch in the near future .

The slight burbles that come with the stage 1 tune are fine for now and sound better in Sports Mode with flap always open.

Hope this helps somewhat.

Cheers

Let us know when you get the notch after a second run against an S3. Based on my experience, you'll pull away slightly and it might seem close at first but then get a big surge around 110-135mph, not sure what gear it's in at the time because I haven't paid attention (xdrive ZF8hp) but I seem to get a great hard pull then it plateaus a bit, then pulls hard again. All WOT. The second surge is where you should pull away easy. Maybe it's time for a custom tune for me. BTW I think you're about 200-500lbs lighter than me so you should do even better.

I accidentally found this, I don't know how reliable this data is, but...
They are some tuning company from Malaysia.

here's stage 1

and here is stage 2

Hey Distrikt, did you use a 91 map for aussie fuel?

Hi ! The usual stock F30 328i here in Malaysia are frequently rated and dyno approx 220-230whp and 320-330nm of torque (NM)

[LegitF30]

Alright guys here is the BOOTMOD3 stage 1 dyno on my 2014 bmw 328i [IMG][/IMG]

[mikeystar]

Does anyone know the bm3 stage 1 gains and bm3 stage 2 gains for a n20 320i? thanks!

I've been curious about this as well. I'm waiting on the FMIC and catless DP to ship, so I may dyno test it afterwards to have solid data.

Stage 1 is a noticeable difference probably from 180HP to about 230HP.

Stage 2 I expect to be noticeable as well and take it somewhere around 260-270 HP.

Ok. It's been over a year. Where them before and after runs at y'all

Lol been waiting myself for the result.

I thought it was just me waiting 🤔

Seriously tho... there is not a single bm3 dyno out there.😏

[Gen13 F36]

Just a question. Los Angeles area, can you point out a dyno shop and how much is it?

[ruriostegui7]

This is horrible - after this long!?

I installed the FMIC a few days ago. I hope my DP arrives before the weekend to put it on and test Stage 2 out.

I emailed a local shop to check their pricing. It's in Scottsdale AZ. As long as it's not in the hundreds of dollars to test it, I should be able to have it done.

Lol it's gonna be hundreds of dollars.

Haha, I heard back from them. It's $75 to test it out here. That's very encouraging!

Sadly, my DP will not be arriving in time for a weekend install. Arrival date is 9/23. I'm hoping to install it on Monday if it doesn't come in late as I have already pre-flashed to Stage 2.

From my experience, running the Stage 2 flash with no DP does not make a meaningful difference. I hope this isn't a letdown after I go catless.

Hi all,

I am running beta for B48 hybrid and all my dyno charts are posted and FYI this tune is much better than JB4 (MAP 1-3) from my experience. The most I got with JB4 was 300whp and stage 1 bm3 was 320whp. BM3 is a much smoother tune. JB4 has initial spikes in power which are dangerous to the motor. See trend for reference.

Yikes! So you're running stage 2 with no supporting mods? 93 Octane?

I was running stage 2 with an FMIC and stock dp on 91 octane for a few days. I actually installed the catless dp this weekend. The car is definitely faster post dp install, though nothing earth shattering. I could be expecting too much though - it's a 320i. My passenger described it as a roller coaster feel during the test run

[floridaorange]

I love mine, all the mods I've done have led to a very fun and fast enough 320i. Excited for xDelete next.

[TK335iMSPT]

I've been back and forth with bmw. There is an issue with my tans or transfer case that they are failing to find. Since it's still under warranty I have not flashed it until this issue is resolved out of courtesy for my bank account. Not eta on the dyno yet. Hoping maybe by years end but no promises.
