Anyone done bootmod3 on N20 yet?
I'm surprised that there isn't a thread or two about this here...
I have a 2016 228i N20 with a Dinantronics SPORT set permanently to "Race" mode (+4) on regular California 91 gas. Tempted to switch to BM3 OTS Stage 1 and wondering what the differences (and hopefully improvements) will be. I am happy with the performance of the piggy-back but wish it was a bit smoother in the mid-range. |

I have also been surprised by the lack of interest on this forum. There are several threads on bootmod3 on the 3 series forum, but unfortunately no dynos posted when last I checked. I did contact Protuningfreaks, who make the bootmod3 flash and the said:
“Unfortunately we don't have dyno numbers for the N20 yet. You can expect 50-70hp over stock on pump gas depending on mods, octane and dyno used. STG2 has about 20-30whp over STG1”. Sounds encouraging but I’m still waiting for dyno charts. |

I'm very interested in this as well. After removing the Stage 1 BMS tune for a few days and putting it back on the smoothness and lack of is very noticeable.

So today I took off the Dinantronics, broke out the laptop, and did the BM3 OTS Stage 1 flash. It was super easy. I've only done about five miles but I can already tell it's much smoother. Arguably not quite as exciting a kick in the pants when the boost comes in but it comes in just as much. The top end feels smoother and the high-gear pull is just as strong. It's probably a side-grade on paper, but the smoothness is definitely an improvement. More when I've done some more miles.

Did you end up pulling the trigger on either? I just ordered an injen intake, and I'm trying to decide on a time as well. |

I don't have any objective technical info to share, but subjectively I'm extremely happy with the BM3 OTS Stage 1 (91) flash, which I've been running for about a month and 300 miles. My description has not changed: it doesn't have the sudden kick-in-the-pants excitement when the boost comes in of the AA8 and DT Sport that I've run before, but the peak performance feels about the same if not better, and it just feels so smooth all the time... like a big NA six. Thoroughly recommended.

If I'm not mistaken, on the bootmod web site it says you can. It says, referring to features:
Some of the map features provided: - Top speed limiter removal - Higher rev limiter - Exhaust burble - Cold start cat heat cycle and cat efficiency check removed (for off-road use) - Maps for upgraded turbos - E85/blend, race gas and meth injection tuning - Custom Throttle mapping - Backend Flash maps for use with piggybacks such as the JB4 |

Do you have any other mods? (Downpipe Intercooler chargepipe GFB or the like?) I'm curious if you think the stage one alone is worth $600. I've been thinking about getting an M235i buti might just do the BM3 and a catless downpipe.

I decided to take it a step further and also wanted some burbles so decided to go with the bootmod3 stage1 tune. Have been running the tune for a couple of days now and from my experience what a difference over the JB+. More power and smoother to boot, my car feels like anther machine. Same torque app used on same profile setting and my psi is now at 21.9psi. I also noted that the sports display has been re calibrated through bootmod3 and i have got it to 220KW. (295HP). Ready to take on the Audi S3 again for a rematch in the near future . The slight burbles that come with the stage 1 tune are fine for now and sound better in Sports Mode with flap always open. Hope this helps somewhat. Cheers |
