Hey Tommy I suggest every time you flash and it says “ wait 5 seconds “ turn the car completely off, lock it and let the car go into rest mode or “sleep” that way you will not get any check engine lights or error messages once you start the car ! 👍

[@TommyLGarage]

Juan Canot ahhh good recommendation thanks !!!

[@95l4lfu]

He just has to turn ignition fully off and then start

[@jmciver767]

You should play around with the “Boost Reduction by Gear” function to aid with traction a bit. Try 20% in 1st and 10% in 2nd - still feels fast, but with better traction in the lower gears. You will notice a bigger difference in warm weather with summer tires of course.... Oh yeah, you don’t need to mess with the “Rev Match in Sport+ w/DSC Off” setting since your car is a 2017. That setting is for 2018.5+ cars that came from the factory with rev match in Sport+ mode. BM3 put that setting there because BMW still disabled rev match in Sport+ with DSC off - this setting defeats that factory interlock. Keep up the great content!

[@TommyLGarage]

Yes someone told me to try the different reductions - might give it a try. and Thanks for the heads up on the DSC stuff!

Do you run downpipes with stage 2?

[@jaydenroh1466]

@@TommyLGarage Yes, I run catless downpipes from VRSF.

[@davebuilt]

It’s recommended but not necessary. Mostly for the fact that the burbles are more aggressive in stage 2 as well as the catalytic converter robbing 30whp or so. I run stage 2 (non agg) with burbles off. Not as significant as stock to stage 1 but still worth it in my book.

[@downshift83]

best complement i had to the tune was going wider to 305's in the rear... that gave me the traction i needed

Hello Tommy, I like your posts, amazing, very useful for me👍. I have got M4 (F82) and several months ago I bought BM3 licence. After trying all the free maps I started recording logs and examining the results. I found out that I have some missacuracies in ignition timing so I contacted PTF guys who said that this is only a fuel quality problem. So I made a fuel test, I tryed all types of fuel on our market, only branded fuel from 95 to 100 OCT and the result is always very simmilar. I can still see the ignition timing corrections in range from 1-3 deg., occassionaly up to 5 deg. Dont you have any experience with this situation? Thanks, Richard

And if you can in next vdo , can you find out exactly the difference in the cs software to competition ? Is the diff and other parts of cs THAT different to the competition ? I do like the Cs but would buy the competition pack if it can be tuned to exactly the same as the CS . Pls . Happy new year btw.

[@TommyLGarage]

Yes it does. I actually ran the CS tune for many months, including a track session, and it was brilliant. It shaved 3 seconds off o fly lap time. It was not very noticeable during daily driving but I guess it still added a few extra ponies. HAPPY NEW YEAR !

[@Newtorin]

Hi there nice vid by the way. I just want to ask and since I have a 2021 M2 competition, I decided to change the downpipes, the pipes going towards the back is from eisennman race with no exhaust just a straight pipe with no blockage whatsoever, then I change charge pipes, the crank hub and have the ECU tuned, thats it. Now my question is do I need to change my OEM intercooler to a CSF or any aftermarket dual pass charge air cooler? and I dont track this car but just drive it daily and drive it spiritedly and fast. Hope to hear from you the soonest. Reply

[@samcas707]

I found the stage 1 too aggressive in the torque ramp up. I’m on the cs+ map and it’s just enough power to feel a gain over oe without overwhelming the grip/chassis

[@TommyLGarage]

The new stage 1 was vastly improved recently. I see no difference in smoothness between CS+ and this

[@ASRmann]

I found CS+ to be a horrible map with plenty of nasty boost oscillations on mid throttle. The latest stage 1 map is leaps and bounds improved in this respect. Really feels OEM but massively enhanced. The best stock like map is the GTS map.

Have you tried the GTS Transmission flash? I have a 2016 M3 non-comp model and I'm wondering if the GTS trans flash will get rid of the jerkiness/stuttering from 2nd to 3rd gear. Also, in your opinion, would you recommend the CS/GTS flash for a bone stock m3 just to get the exhaust burb and extra power?

[@MisterTechSavvy]

In efficient mode, you won't notice anymore jerkiness/stuttering, as the GTS trans flash will keep the RPMS low and change gears more often. With BM3, you can set the burbles however you like. CS+/GTS flash is the perfect blend IMO. Stage 1 / Stage 2 are great as well, just a lot more power.

Does turning off cold start damage the car?

[@TommyLGarage]

Not at all

[@whiskeyactual.]

Does Bootmod3 allow you to change/code features like door chimes, DRL brightness, etc?

[@jg_media9]

WhiskeyActual get bimmercode

[@cold2036]

No

[@TommyLGarage]

No. Bimmercode does. I linked it in the description. You get a discount too!

On the stage 1 tune do u feel the torque falls flat on the top end, I have the stage 2 tune

[@TommyLGarage]

Nope. They recently improved it. Feels like stock just more powerful

@@TommyLGarage thanks bro I used a similar one. Just got my f82 m4 and used bootmod3 to flash GTS tune

[@vitaliyyasinskiy9013]

How long did you wait for this specific tune to flash onto the car? Also, I got BM3 and plan to run same tune.

[@TommyLGarage]

About 1 minute. Super quick

[@vitaliyyasinskiy9013]

Tommy L Garage thanks man!

[@akon5130]

[@TommyLGarage]

Yes. Very easily. I did it before I went to the dealer

[@akon5130]

@@TommyLGarage mmmm if i want back. I need to visit the dealer 🤔 there is no way to reflash the stock file???

are you able to pass OBD emissions with the stg 1?

[@TommyLGarage]

Yes sir

[@alexlorenzo5477]

On track days do you still use BM3 stage 1 or do you go back to stock boost levels?

[@TommyLGarage]

I’ve been using stock but next time around I’ll keep stage 1 and compare time differences

[@alexlorenzo5477]

@@TommyLGarage Did you end up running stage 1 or other tun at the track? Curious how it performed - particularly did it generate more heat or stay pretty cool?

[@christophersauer1939]

Is the bootmod no longer available? Link returns a 404 error.
