So basically you have to log and review your logs with BM3 to be sure you're safe and reflash accordingly? Why isn't that needed with a stock tune or for that matter a Carbahn tune? What would happen if you kept your 93 map in and ran shit gas? Just trying to understand.

You could say that BM3 is better for those who like to get into the technical aspects of tuning and be able to monitor all the parameters, etc. But does every customer want to do that? No Last edited by hz101; 02-27-2020 at 08:11 AM.. |

Think of the stock car as a very conservative map for 91 octane. As long as you are running 91+ on that map, you do not have to do any datalogging or testing Bootmod3 lets you take advantage of the higher octane to make more power, if you have access to 93 octane you can run the 93 map. If you decide to go back to 91 octane, you need to change to 91 map. If you do not like to keep switching maps, select the 91 map. It works on both octanes (that's what you pretty much do with stock map) Quote:
Same thing that would happen if you run the stock map (which BMW recommend a minimum of 91 octane) on an 87 octane fuel. Car will run poorly and you risk damaging components Quote:
I know you are a Carbahn fan but I do recommend you do more reading about tuning before making these kinds of posts. To suggest Bootmod3 releases tunes without testing on stock cars is ridiculous, but then again it wont be your first ridiculous post on this thread. Bootmod3 does not need technical experts to run the tune, install process takes less than a minute. You can run OTS maps without making any changes or datalogs.

It is sad that you have to resort to imposing your opinion and mischaracterizing my statements in order to sell stuff on your store. Says a lot about the kind of business you are running. I never suggested that OTS BM3 tunes are released without any testing. I meant to say that since BM3 lets users change things and load different kinds of maps, testing and datalogging is done to make sure everything is OK. Of course the OTS maps can be used without any logs. I suggest you post in other threads where you can promote items that you sell on your store without people calling you out on your obvious bias. |

I went from Dinan to BM3 and experienced smoother running, more power, and the ability to log and review data which is great piece of mind.
I haven’t had any issues with the OTS maps and even a couple custom maps, so I haven’t missed the warranty that came from Dinan. That’s not Carbahn, but it’s the same guy and same mantra as Dinan. |

Interesting that Carbahn makes you pay for the warranty

Makes you wonder, why bother since that would be the only reason (warranty) one would want a Carbahn tune. I remember looking at their tune and after reading the warranty and terms a couple of times, meh ! Why bother. Limited to their 'allowed' parts and I particularly like the comment from them that we should be up-front and honest with our dealership that we have such a tune installed. That's not happening.

Know that this is only peripherally related but can someone explain the “brace cutting” for he DINAN intake system? I am considering it for my M2C and the install instructions don’t mention anything about cutting a brace. Let me know

Page 12 of their instructions require cutting of the brace:

Thanks for the reply. So I guess it’s only required on the M2 but not the M2C. Must not have much impact on the M2 because they are certainly flying around the track!!!

It's unlikely the engine would really be damaged unless you were really hammering the car like at the track, even then the car's computers probably save you. |

I'm not seeing a lot of people having car problems with bm3. People with m2 and jb4 were having issues though. |
