Thanks for the short and direct rundown. The 40 minute videos explaining flash tuning are so draining lol. Thanks man

[@SimplyCarThings]

anytime man, yea thats why i tried to keep this one short and simple

[@abdullah.alomari]

Link for the gum you using?

[@user-sn5kj1gy1t]

Thank you bro if I’m ever in Cali I would forward love to meet you and your friends group!

[@richardbielicky3603]

Hello, nice video, thanks for sharing. pls can you tell me what is "lambda changes" which is listed in the description of the version of BM3 you chose to install?

[@paranoiasrevenge4324]

can’t wait to get an f80 one day i love your m4

[@SimplyCarThings]

thanks bro!!

[@Hold.My.Tacoss]

Keep grinding man almost at what I need for mine as well trying to buy it outright im not into car notes lol. Stay focused my man

[@walidhiderzada7997]

Great Video man. Very helpful

[@karbonphiber]

My car is under warranty. If I run a tune on my car, can I revert the ecu back to stock and will the dealership know if I’ve flashed the ecu with boostmod3?

[@marcbolduc8233]

Do you have to pay more for transmisison tune?

[@carsonwong]

Hi , i have the k+DCAN to usb cable recycle from my e92 used for mhd n54, is that cable compatible with bootmood ?

[@tigeralpha1480]

Great video ! By the way will you get the crank hub done or did you decide that maybe the issue is kinda blown out of the water?

[@SimplyCarThings]

I definitely still plan on getting it done, no issues with stage 1 so far, but i also dont drive the car everyday and for track days i will flash to stock power levels

[@Richard--99]

Amazing video as always

[@AbletonLiveTechs]

Yo im thinking of Getting the armed catless downpipes you still like the sound it produces? im just scared its gonna be abnoxious ha

[@Saint876_]

So thats it, you dont have to dyno it or do anything else ? Just flash as you did and go about your life ?

[@Jbonly21]

Great video 👍🏿, still debating if I want to switch to BM3.

[@AGShootz]

Great, concise video. What year is your M4? I am still trying to figure out which years need to be bench unlocked.

[@Nytro423]

2018 plus since it’s an LCI

[@enntlo]

Trying to flash my 2018 m3 with a stage 1 but me DME does not match up, but I shouldn’t have to bench unlock it because the car was manufactured before 2020 so I’m not sure on how to solve this problem

[@SnkrKev]

if you’ve taken it to dealership for any maintenance or if the previous owner did they updated the software and lock the dme.

[@arkitek1983]

The gum chewing is kind of distracting.

[@floridamaddogg]

😂...i was going to comment on that. I thought the video was informative, but yeah, when creating videos, don't eat, drink, or chew gum.

[@zenfold7946]

It's cool

[@Flawless_Euro]

What are your wheel/tire specs??

[@tylerthayerpham]

Great video! Do you need to download the obd agent if your flashing from an iPhone?

[@limpei94]

what are the difference between bm3 flash vs the out there custom tuned stage 1/2. Any experts or experience peeps care to explain ? Thanks in advance

[@CZ-57]

Custom tune can squeeze the most out of your vehicle while ots tunes are just tunes that have worked well on other cars like yours. I prefer ots any tune on most bmw cars is enough and you can customize a lot yourself.

[@luisheredia1718]

Do you need Wi-Fi when coding on laptop or?

[@jamesgideon5121]

New to the German cars so I’m still learning a lot about their engines but I have a stock 650i xdrive with the n63. Would I be ok the run this tune while completely stock or is it best to wait for mods then tune?

[@milkzuk6908]

You can run stage 1 eeasily just make sure you choose the right mod3

[@Jet3ch]

how can i do this with my laptop outside where my car is parked, i have no internet that reaches laptop from the house?

[@Austin-cn5xd]

Once flashed, do you have to flash the car every time you start the engine or does it stay flashed until you change it? Can you flash back to completely original stock with no concerns for services? (I do not have warranty, just curious if they could tell)

[@hofahome]

As with any tunes, no need to flash every time you start the car. That would suck. Dealer could probably tell you have a tune if this doesn’t reset the flash counter afterwards. But they would only care if you are still under warranty.

[@madeirask8]

This is a stupid question, but for a m240i for first time flash, how do I connect the battery charger?

[@SimplyCarThings]

attach the red cable to the positive (red) terminal and the black cable to the car's grounding point. plug the battery charger in and it should automatically start working. BMW has specified points for this in the engine bay since the battery is located in the trunk

[@mikedo7735]

Hi. How long ago was this video and have u had any issues since. I looking to also do the same flashes but still on stock crank. Are u on stock crank at the time or still? Thanks

[@SimplyCarThings]

yea stock crank hub with no issues. car has been running great

[@pelondv]

I got an adapter/wired for my iphone should be same as yours? Or i need a laptop?

[@SimplyCarThings]

That should work as well if you're wanting to flash using your iPhone!

[@BPF80MCar-vi1pg]

Go ahead and get the downpipe and go with stage 2

[@johnnyng8527]

may i know th reason u choose m4 over m4comp

[@SimplyCarThings]

im modding mine extensively so there's no need for a comp model

[@potatoplug9227]

🔥

[@lilNryn]

With the stage 1 did you have any other mods equipped?

[@SimplyCarThings]

Nope! Stock engine, i also have the m performance exhaust and i deleted the secondary cats

[@Saint876_]

​@@SimplyCarThings no crank hub upgrade?

[@iamjulianromero8773]

Is there an app or anything or do other company’s off one

[@SimplyCarThings]

Bootmod3 has an app as well so you can flash off your iPhone. You would just need an ethernet to lightning adapter

[@i_am_stc3958]

The price seems to have jumped considerably since this video was recorded. Or am I accessing the wrong site? Is it really $600 now?

[@Anthony-wt2wk]

I could sworn they went up by 100$

[@Anthony-wt2wk]

I could sworn they went up by 100$

[@BMWCEO]

What’s the advantage to deleting the cold start?

[@siramikvarze9402]

The cold start is specifically to raise the catalytic converters' temperature for emissions purposes. If you delete the cats, you can disable the heating cycle for a more quiet start-up.

[@samikar3810]

just advice...... don't tell us how much time it takes to flash, and what it could look like to flash... just do it on video and show us. again, love your content. keep at it my friend. just trying to help!!!\

[@mikejakubik]

Not so simple when your DME is locked....

[@samikar3810]

i love your content. but for the love of jesus. it's bootMOD not bootMODE.

[@BmwMe-uh9sy]

Dude ur stressing ur m4 engine too much just leave it stock so it lasts longer

[@SimplyCarThings]

ok bro thank you!

[@skouria3135]

not driving your car the way it should be is like not fucking your girlfriend to keep it tight for the next guy.
