Bootmod3 stage 1 OTS flash tune

Has anyone tried Bootmod3 stage 1 91 or 93 octane OTS tune?

If so does it actual increase boost for a small power increase or does it just make existing power more consistent throughout RPMS?

Not going to be specific and ask for numbers, butt dyno results would be fine. Still trying to master the car at the track and not really wanting to have a jump in power yet so I am considering stage 1.

Thanx in advance.

Based on my trackday data logs it increases charge air pressure with aproximately 0.2 bar.

I actually looked to see what the numbers were with stage 1 bootmod3 but couldn't find anything, at least fbo, and then they usually go stage 2 anyway.

Doesn't seem like the competing tunes are getting much out of their stage 1 tunes, but people say they notice a difference on the butt dyno for what it's worth.

Definitely can feel it - S1 93 (98 RON). It's noticeable. Not crazy. But obvious enough.

The GTS transmission map, custom burble, plus exhaust fully open in sport mode settings has been my favourite - extra power is only on WOT.. but the rest is felt throughout the drive.

It really transforms the car. Makes the entire package way more enjoyable. Plus the ability to customize the burbles (which is genius), FYI I customized my cutoff rpm and cutoff speed (so I have no burbles in my underground park afe at work under 20km/hr and under 1800 rpm it shuts off the burbles. Makes the car very liveable for daily driving. The power in stage one is noticeable but I would say about the same as when I added a sport cat down pipe. Then stage 2 was about that much again.

You will get more power combined with a smooth power delivery.

Let me know if you decide to give it a try, we offer the Enet cable with the BM3 license free of charge

I noticed a significant change. my car is stock,other than a stage 1 93 octane map. 40 roll a stock M4, and took him by a car length on 3 separate runs. The car has more power all the way through. the burbles are sweet, nobody believes it's a stock exhaust. it changed the sport displays as well, which is cool.

I'm on the fence about adding a catless dp and fmic, then going stage 2. the car is fast and fun as is.

try it, and see what you think. it's worth the investment

Hi Mike, what kind of free trial program? I'm in the fence to go with BM3 now.

wasn't there talk early in the m2 tuning development where they said there really isn't any gains as the n55 is pretty much maxed out without FBO, turbo and fueling? whats changed?

Nothing has changed...gains are still minimal due to the fuel system being maxed out...and the machine runs so hot due to turbo being maxed out. The tuners have gotten better at manipulating a bit more power out of it but it is no N54, early N55 or S55. That is why so many people are trying to jump ship over to the M2c..... I have not seen a m4 that is FBO, big turbo and meth doing 720 yet. I have a friend that has a 135i killing it

I don't know much about tunes but I assume it not just about making more peak power but how and when the power is delivered. So a stage 1 tune on the M2 might not get you much peak HP increase in total, but perhaps it makes more HP and TQ in places that make the car feel faster, or be faster within those ranges?

This was the BurgerKing JB4 comment & other folks who are not spending time to tune or don't know what they're doing.

This never came from PTF mouth as I remember being 1 of the early N55 beta customers and had friends with M2 join up.

For me, i flashed last week and as is, it took a while to realise the gains from the flash.

At first, i didnt felt much change but this weekend, i drove the car more extensively and i found it extremely easy to spin the wheels, even in a corner, DSC off, i gently put some throttle and the car goes sideways when you are not expecting.

At some point, i took a long right turn and i barely put my foot on the throttle and the car started to slide.. when i WOT on a straight, it feel like i m on a elastic car. It build up the momentum and then woooosh you are gone.

I can't believe this is a STG 1 only on 91. for me, the issue with STG2 is to put the power down.
