BMW HUGE POWER GAINS From One Simple Mod + an unpleasant surprise

Bootmod3 Tune bit.ly/2Fd4cLA
Vent gauge bit.ly/3mmqSJ6
Carbon paddle shifters bit.ly/33FObat
Last week I made a trip to New Jersey to see my friends at Kies Motorsports. On the first day we did a Stage 1 Bootmod3 tune which gave us massive gains in horsepower and torque. I was blown away how a simple tune could make such a big difference, considering that the engine is otherwise 100% stock.
We did a bunch of other mods including a complete overhaul of the interior. M Sport steering wheel, dry carbon fiber paddle shifters, P3 vent gauge, iDrive screen, Apple CarPlay.. Look for those videos some time in the future!

[@markoh53]

Hey Justin big thing people do with bootmod3 is an upgraded transmission flash, it significantly improves your throttle response and time of shifts to almost exact. I’ve seen a few videos on it you should definitely definitely try it if it’s available for the 340i

[@Dutchfal]

Got my F30 1.6i optimized a year ago, i went from 136 HP and 220 Nm to 240 HP and 340 Nm by just changing software, no chip no nothing was used. I also updated the software of the gearbox wich helps a lot in better shifting with the extra HP's. Drivin' it like this for year without any problems.

[@TaylorMMontgomery]

Or could have just bought a car with those options already installed lol... Saves time and money especially on the used market the prices of cars with or without certain options, especially interior/tech upgrades is marginal or none. Y'all if you're looking for a car don't settle! Keep looking for the perfect one that has the options you want. There are so many cars out there, especially F30s now!

[@TheeNoobPolice]

Aftermarket add-ons are so much better, because most of the packages include things you dont even need. I'll be using BimmerTech for a couple changes and my local owned shop for lightning, heated seats etc, because its cheaper, comes with a warranty, and will last longer than having to eventually replace after purchase on a used car.

[@beigefox6579]

@@TaylorMMontgomery So how long do you want people to keep looking. For over 12 months back in the days I was dying to find a white F10 with beige interior and B&O. Never found it. So why cant a person just buy one without all the options and just go ahead and upgrade instead. Its actually fun customizing your own car. My other option was to just order a new car with all options needed about 80K sticker price which I clearly didn't have money for

[@billymania11]

Be careful with these tunes. They all work the same way. They turn off over-boost protection, anti-knock, and defeat engine timing pull. So yes you get more power but the reliability margin is now non-existent and the engine can’t protect itself. It’s okay if you understand the trade offs. Don’t do this if your car is under warranty.

[@AZEOforreal]

Why I recommend going for an AC Schnitzer box because not only do they work with BMW techs, but it still stays under warranty.

[@christopherparis6841]

It's a fkn hack ass way to tune I'd never suggest this EVER!!!

Hey Justin, so since you paid for Stage 1, how much would it be to upgrade and tune it again to Stage 2 (after you've got the necessary mods to run it)

Any concerns about the longevity of the engine and associated components now that the car is tuned way beyond factory specs/design?

[@bmwman1981]

The engine can take it all stock maps are always really safe

[@SomeKidsAtHomes]

The engine is okay, the horsepower is coming from increasing CO2 numbers which were tried to be decreased by the manufacturer. The engine is in it's natural habitat after the tunes

[@markfenbers1329]

Justin, I’ve been watching your videos for a long time, and I love them! But I wish you would reveal how much these mods would cost ME without the special deals, promotions, freebies, and discounts that you get. If I brought my F30 into the same shop and had the same mod you had done in this video, how much would it cost me?

[@justinbuice]

Hey! Sorry Im just now seeing this. The videos always have links in the description to the product with the current price. The reason I usually dont state the price in the actual video is because they can change a lot over time, especially software products like this. And I dont want the video to become outdated due to an incorrect or old price. The software license to do what we showed in the video currently costs $595

[@XxJoejohnsonxX]

I just bought a 2013 335i and definitely wanna get it tuned. My buddy who had a heavily modded bmw said I should invest in a chargepipe,downpipe, and an intake before I get it tuned. Just wanted to get your opinion.

[@prettycoolcat]

All great suggestions. The most important is the charge pipe. That’s all you need for stage 1. Intake and downpipe will help performance, but so will an intercooler. That will prevent the heat soak that was lowering their torque every run

[@_hurgo8062]

Imagine the previous owner was secretly stocking you this whole time!!!?

[@justinbuice]

That would be really creepy lol

[@frikkifrik]

Still got my pre-lci E90. Wish it was available. Still sticking around though.

[@dougnbodie]

Great little video. Hope the Turbo's hold up as it seems by the GPS devises that where on there might have been put on by the leasing companies to keep track of "Their" car and those types of owners don't usually let the engine temp get hot before they Burn rubber and therefore limit the life of turbos.

[@tomconner5067]

Nice hub dyno. I'm not 100% convinced of their static accuracy due to a few obvious factors, the torque output is centrally coupled. I'm curious, if the dimensions of the tire and rim and the total distribution of the rotating mass of the wheel assembly are taken into account, as well as what has to be done to the opposite side hub on a limited slip or open differential, and what effect it has on the power output dynamics?

[@akashrajsingh4811]

Just wondering, if those Red lights @2:18 for the shoot or it that also some sort of an interior lightning mod? Btw, your videos have an immensely high production value. ELITE is the word.

[@kamilm4656]

Wow driving 10 hours to get the car tuned you must be really into the Brian 🥰

[@ivansanchez8510]

As a previous E90 owner how does the steering/road feel compare to your current F30? Also I thought B58s don’t need to upgrade the charge pipe, just the N55s

[@justinbuice]

When we were out there we added a strut brace and it actually made a big difference in the steering feel. It’s still not the same as the E90, but it’s not a dealbreaker. After a while I got used to it, especially after I sold the E90 and wasn’t driving them both back to back. As far as the charge pipes, maybe it’s too soon to tell if the B58’s need the upgrade, but I’d guess there’s some benefit changing from plastic to aluminum

[@venromero]

That spireon should’ve definitely been hooked up elsewhere. It’s usually a safe bet to install them using power and ground from the 12V accessory port. I’ve seen guys hook them up to all kinds of places though, including the radio and headlight circuit, and it always causes problems.

[@NineDiamont]

What people don't consider, when you tune a car you also have to upgrade hardware components. With more hp comes more strain on the whole system. If you don't, the life span of the car will shorten.

[@dbnpoldermans4120]

I can do the math in my head, that is like a 22% increase in horsepower Excellent video as always. Great music, volume levels and editing!

[@potatoincombatdoesroblox7028]

Can you run this kind of tune on a f30 328i? And if so, what kind of numbers could I expect to achieve?

[@ZIPE6969]

Hold up, how did it average 367 when 367 was the best Run. Should be 364 right?

[@IsmaelMartinezPR]

These things only work if someone is looking. I used to supervise a sales team of 34 vehicles. All company cars. See I only looked when fuel consumption was up by a route, sales where down or you suspected foul play. Had speeding warnings set, not to 66 mph but more like 75, I also had a cross reference between their fuel charge cards and miles used to make sure they were not using the fuel card on personal cars. Had a sales route take the kid to school, come back home for 1hr for brkfst I guess, then start the route, pick up the kid at school, have lunch, to continue the route. Crazy, no one had noticed because his numbers were ok and up. But when the sales numbers were down we checked and found out what he had been doing. Even though the numbers were down, he did not change his routine. and was reprimanded for personal use of vehicle, interruption personal time while on company dime and others.
