following along, was hopefully to see higher numbers with just a tune but I know im greedy. Also we all know dyno numbers can be a place where people like to fight back and forth but I rather talk about 1/4 mph numbers and see what going on. Especially if you have a dragy or other device just run it before and after and see what type of times your running period.

OP if head back to the dyno I’d love to see results with around 2 gallons of e85 mixed in with rest 93 pump. I bet you pick up 10-15 whp and the car will run better in the high heat. Thanks for being the first to post these results!

I have been testing out the CS+ Map lately on my otherwise stock M2 Competition.
I love the benefits of the Stage 1 top end but I also like the linear naturally aspirated power delivery of the CS+ since a lot of the low end excess torque is somewhat unusable for me. Am I better off doing boots reductions to Stage 1 or going with the CS+ which I assume accomplishes the same task but is tuned professionally by PTF? Does the CS+ have the same top end as the Stage 1 or is the Stage 1 still stronger towards redline? This can help me make my choice. My only concern is that the CS+ Map seems to still be in (BETA) several months after the last revision. Not sure why it’s still labeled that way...? Overall, the BM3 is working perfectly and is one of the best mods you can do to this car. Thanks to all in advance! |

Update:
I asked the following question to the PTF folks: Does the CS+ have the same top end as the Stage 1 or is the Stage 1 still stronger towards redline? Am I better off doing BBG reductions to Stage 1 or going with the CS+ which I assume accomplishes the same task but is tuned professionally by PTF? This was their reply: Stage 1 is way stronger. You can do it on the Stage 1 as the CS+ is already limited from 'factory' |

Are the CS, CS+ and Stage 1 pre-built maps that all come with a BM3 license? Besides having the license what else do you need to flash the car, I assume a Windows laptop and some sort of USB to OBD2 cable?

Also it can only be transferred once right? The second owner can't resell. |

I am still trying to find the best way to attain the linear "naturally aspirated" power delivery of the CS+ map but with maximum power at the top end.
Any guidance or opinions on doing boost reductions to Stage 1 versus going with the CS+ map and calling it a day? |

Yes, there isn't that much of a difference. You can probably find a new license for around $550 and sell it in the future for $350. It would cost you $200 overall vs buying a used one for $300-$350. I just didn't want to deal with selling it in the future and just pulled the trigger on a used license.

Did you have to get your DME unlocked first, or just buy the BM3, flash and go?

Just flash and go.
I have already been to the dealer twice for service and I can still flash the car without any issues. I just set up the appointments for the weekends when they are less likely to attempt software updates. |

Noting that Torque is what the butt dyno detects, all the plots above show it tailing off from 4,500rpm. Whether that's a limitation of the turbo or the cooling system is unclear.

Hey guys I have a 2019 m2c that came off the assembly line in late 18.
Anyone have issues running the cs or cs+ map? Any codes thrown? Any mechanical hiccups? I still have a year left on warranty and I'm contemplating. I also heard that there is a way to wipe the DME in the event something does happen drive it and bring it back to the dealer for warranty work. Anyone have experience with this? I'm on the fence and I really don't want to exceed either of these maps, not looking to spend tires or lose the overall dynamic of the car just add a little more thrust |

Secondly, the S55 can take 440 to 500+ hp just fine mechanically, it's very common in so many users.

So the only way to avoid flagging is to avoid computer diags? Which is not practical |

It all depends on the pickiness of your dealer, the dealer tech, and how much of a risk you're willing to accept. Most dealer techs will not care and will turn a blind eye.
But if there is engine damage (very unlikely when tuned within reason) from something potentially tune related, then the data collected will be used to attempt backing out of honoring warranty repairs.

I was considering going with the Carbahn tune from Mr. Dinan, but now I am really considering going this route instead. The flexibility you get with Bootmod is very attractive. I see this post is almost 3 years old now, any update from the OP? How is the car now? Any regrets? Thanks in advance!

I've been running BM3 stage 1 and then stage 2 with DPs since the car was a few months old in 2019.
It's just turned 3 years old, 18,000 miles, not a single problem. It only does enthusiastic fast drives really, no DD duties. Warranty is up now so no concerns about that. Warm it up, drive with mechanical sympathy and change the oil regular and you'll be just fine, bar some odd random failure. |
