Im still getting BM3 done. Its my daily, if someone wants to pay the right price for it ill sell it and move onto something better to mod.

Not a money issue, more so no room in garage for 2 cars right now. So until someone buys my 535i, ill daily it. Cant have a slow daily

Was in process of getting it flashed by the car threw codes, cars under warranty so im getting all those parts replaced before going through with the flash. Should have the car today or tomorrow then have to plan with SonicMS to see when I can come in for a time that works for both of us.

My car is an April 2013 build. Need to start researching what exactly is needed for this or any type of tune. I was checking out their website, will probably send out my ECU to them since i don't daily my car.

Hello, long time lurker, first time contributor. Many thanks to all of you for your guidance.

I just flashed my 2013 535 to BM3 two weeks ago. Ran an OTS Stage 1 91 tune for a week and now I'm running a E30 map. Car runs amazing.

I came from running a Dinan Sport Tuner stacked on top of Dinantronic Stage 1. Car was fast and fun to drive. Put over 15k miles on it with no CEL or Limp Mode.

Heard many wonderful things about BM3 so I took the plunge.

I will be posting a review of all three tunes shortly.

BTW selling my Dinantronic Stage 1 for $600 if anyone is interested.

More to come...

No dyno sheets. Been slammed with work but will provide a comprehensive review over the weekend. I do have some interesting performance findings. Sorry to keep you waiting.

Hey Guys,

I just flashed my 535i with BM3
Car is 2011 535i, RWD, Auto, completely stock

Stage 2, 93 Octane
Completely stock at this point
Dyno below
Will do another dyno next week after adding a downpipe

Ran into some troubles with flashing. Bootmod technical helped me out big time and got things sorted.
Cant speak well enough of them.

I'd love to hear about driveability, and how the modified car is to drive "through the twisties" and other non-dyno applications.

I have not spent a lot of time following all of the various ECU flash and piggyback options, but I have read reviews praising mods like Dinan for big picture driveability and experience (despite lower mathematical gains), instead of peaking a tune for stoplight racing and dyno numbers.

Just curious. When my warranty is up, I might be interested in something like BM3. The greatest feature might be removing the cold start ECU light off so my M exhaust doesn't wake the neighbourhood.

Dirveability is better.
I've only been on this a day or 2 though, so need some more time with it to fully answer

I see another 10-15whp+ 30wtq+ after DP

Do you have E85 or RaceGas in your country?

Car is Auto RWD

I'll ask them to adjust Axis on my next run
Yes DP next week
Yes we have E85

I'll do another run next week with 93 and downpipe
Then another with E30 and downpipe

Does torque curve look right to you?

great job that sounds like a good plan
curve / power band looks good, especially for 93oct/stock car

What type of Dyno is this ?

Agreed, this is ok as long as you have your deltas which is the right way / and the reason of a Dyno tool
And you have it 100%

Curious what gear did they use?
If 4th, did you try a pull on 5th too?
Car was cooled down a bit after arriving?
Did they have good airflow?
All this affects numbers too.
