Flashed my M2 LCI with a Stage 2 map a couple of weeks ago (Downpipe and FMIC already installed). Increase in performance is extremely noticeable. Power is smooth and the car runs very well. The flashing process was straight forward and much quicker than the Cobb flash I had on my Porsche. Software came with one map token, additional maps are available for a $50.00 payment.

In addition, using BM3 I have opened the exhaust valves, removed top speed limit, reset adaptations and deleted cold start. Currently using the aggressive exhaust map but may turn it down once the novelty has worn off (here's how it sounds : https://youtu.be/iGIIssPdZ9II and https://youtu.be/xsxnRVyFfTk).

Tried the GTS Transmission today. Gear changes are noticeably smoother and quicker, but the car upshifts through the gears too quickly - cruising to work in Sport plus at 30mph, the car now sits in 6th gear. Works very well for the commute but not sure how it will fare on a spirited drive. Will try it this afternoon and see how what it is like.

So far its a mega thumbs up for BM3!

Sounds great! Which downpipe and fmic did you go with?

Yes it’s a very good map, do you have a dragy or vbox to measure the 100-200 time?

I did have access to a vbox but haven't now. Need a dragy box that I can borrow for a weekend

Looking forward to having more sharing from u

Had logs checked last night by PTF and all is good, didn't have any concerns as the car feels solid but worth checking these things. Will probably revert back to stock transmission today and try and get hold of a dragy to log some times

SeanWRT · 08-21-2018, 03:11 AM

Post the log link I can take a look as well if you don't mind.

Taken after an hour of hard driving and about 4 goes of launch control. Thought I'd push the car hard before logging to make sure it's coping.

Curious what your ambients were during the run..... Also would love to see a solid 4th from 2k to redline

Outside temp was 22 Celsius, car had been driven hard for a good hour. I'll try and do fourth later if I can find a clear enough section of road

SeanWRT · 08-21-2018, 07:58 AM

I can confirm the aggressiveness of OTS is quietly decreased. V5.1, 5.2, and earlier days of V5.3 are the most aggressive ones. There is a quiet change in V5.3 without updating version number. I still have the stronger V5.3 in my account, so I compared.

Excellent log. I'd stay there with stock turbo. This OTS is better than the more aggressive ones.

Thanks for your feedback. Despite not being too knowledgable about tuning, after having many cars with tuning boxes and flash maps I can feel a big difference with the map on this car. It's running so well and I'm super pleased with the performance from on OTS map: That's it for me as far as performance mods go... time to save up for some carbon!

I do but I'm using the GTS Transmission software so the car doesn't burble as much. If I go back to stock transmission I'll try and tone the burble down a bit.

Sean,

Can you elaborate on that? I just switched from 5.3 to 5.4, and thought about switching to 5.3 again for more aggressive pops/bangs.

Thanks,

I really hate that you can't go grab the old files once they are updated. You have to save them for future use.....

I wonder if BM3 would send an old OTS file version to your account if you opened a ticket?

There is always a AGG burble map available, whatever OTS version it is.

I'm not going to show details how it's "detuned". But I'm 100% positive it's a good change in term of reliability, consistency, and even real world performance.

I know everyone likes being as aggressive as possible, but aggressiveness isn't necessarily more power all the time. OTS is much more refined the way it is now. In the real world you'd be only quicker because pulling thru multiple gears consistency really means power.

Why not share what you think or know to be the changes between v5.3 and v5.4 ?

Japper69 · 08-22-2018, 05:55 AM

What is the power / torque gauges recalibrated to figure?

dz89 · 08-24-2018, 07:23 PM

Is the GTS transmission included with the purchase of BM3?
