Added Bootmod3 to 230i

Just added a stage 1 OTS bootmod3 flash to my 2017 230i. Notice big increase in boost throughout the rpm range. Not sure how accurate the Sport Displays are for HP and TQ but they both peak off the chart (320 respectively) - so if that's right, it's added ~70 hp and probably more TQ.

Only "mod" I have is a better drop in filter and the intake box snorkel taken off (which I'll probably put back on).

Pretty happy so far. Only weird thing is that it doesn't seem the flash is allowing me to change the exhaust flap to open on demand.

No codes... yet. If I do get some I'll post them here. Also hoping overheating/boosting isn't an Issue. May reduce the boost as this is my daily driver.

I flashed Stage 1 93 around 3 months ago. No problems so far. Yeah, the flap settings are only open, close or auto.

21A02D is a Combustion control: valve lift correction when at idle. CAUSE. A software error in the Digital Motor Electronics (DME).
The first thing I found was this -

There is also this site for fault codes -

We offer custom maps, once you make the purchase with us, you will select the tuner from the list on bm3 interface and they will reach out to you with a base map to start with

So mine does this too in WOT stage 1 and i'm in process of stage 2ing my 430i.

I think the B48/46 has potential for 300+ whp and 370+ wtq in stage 2 based on what ive seen.

300whp should definitely be possible.

Can I use BM3 if I have the Dinan Elite V2 or whatever on my car? I'd rather not pay to have it taken off and would like to add some features BM3 has.
