Hi Just The Driven, is using the BM3 tune the same as taking my M140 to a car performance shop for a tune, like same results/ customisation. Do the performance shop use BM3 or something different? Thanks.

[@JXLPerformance]

Almost identical to 90% of places you'd take a car to. A tuning file (specific to car/engine/fuel) uploaded to the car. You can also request custom tunes through BM3 for an additional cost, and they'll work on your car remotely sending/receiving logs etc. Customisation wise you can go as fast/slow as you like. Starring with Stage 1 OTS, Stage 1 E30, Stage 2 OTS, Stage 2 Custom etc etc. Once you've unlocked the map packs, you can have any tune you like providing you have the right hardware and fuel.

[@deant6627]

@@JXLPerformance Thats awesome, also does it change the sport display to have more gauges like boost gauge? Also can you disable the stop/start feature so you don't have to turn it off every time you start the car?

[@JXLPerformance]

@@deant6627 It adjusts the sport display yes, but doesn't add a boost gauge. It just increases the max numbers for the display. Start/stop is a little different, I use Carly to code out things and make adjustments to the car 👍

[@vemalc]

Man this was so simple to understand.. just wished they had it for the e92

[@nickp1420]

This is a brilliant demo. If you're not in training you should be!

Thanks Nick, Much appreciated!

I don’t even have a BMW and I watched this 🤣

You sir are a legend!

[@marc-pe1ci]

same here lol but this will be rectified over the next few months as soon as this virus drama is over i'm hunting for a M140i

[@keithd6852]

Great video. Just put one on mine and this helped, can't deny I was a bit nervous before hand.

[@solemods5991]

Very clear and nice and simple, about to have a look at bolt on mods for some parts 👍

[@mariuszpachowski288]

Did you have to unlock it first to tune it?

[@tomosjohn230]

Defo do a video next on the difference from stock to stage 1 mate

[@JXLPerformance]

That's the plan buddy, working on getting a Dragy to show the differences 😁

Can i buy stage 1 file and map using either iprog or carprog tool?

[@nathangilmour4493]

Hi, great detailed vid but how much is it to send logs and get your map modified from ptf?

[@pinchofeternity146]

Thanks for video. Is this remap switch off the egr system?

[@harley-jn7ke]

My 435d is remap in stage2 if I delete my personal database I will lose it all??or it doesn’t matter?thanks..

[@ChooseLanes]

I can't get the agent to pop up after completely installing it says look for the app icon and when I do find the app icon its the installer I can't figure this out.

[@rich2109]

Hi fella, just wondered if you could help... do you know if its possible to set bm3 up so that the map is only in sport mode? Would like to be able to run the standard map in comfort but map the car for sport mode only. TIA

[@tonygroves9845]

How come you didn't need to put your seatbelt on during the flash. I have been told this is essential to prevent errors?

[@JXLPerformance]

Not sure Tony, I followed steps to the letter and didn't notice anything about the seatbelt, no errors either

[@tonygroves9845]

@@JXLPerformance Thanks mate. I have been watching the USA BM3 forum and they stated that by doing this it prevents your car shutting down mid flash if your car decides the driver is not in the vehicle.

[@deant6627]

Hi Just The Driven, out of curiosity does the BM3 software allow you access to adjust the braking power off the brakes?

[@adamahmed2444]

Can i do this on a 116d?

[@alexisjones4652]

My laptop keeps disconnecting with the hotspot from my phone :(

[@wogpom]

Where does the ODB connector actually plug into on the car itself?

[@JXLPerformance]

If you open the driver's door and look down the crease there's a little door thing that says OBD on it, down near the driver's footwell

[@alexringb]

Thanks for the useful video! I want to flash my 440i and I have the following question: I'm mostly interested on the Stage 1 map for the 98 RON (the same one you flashed) but if it is possible I wouldn't like to use the 98 RON petrol all the time (which is bloody expensive here in Greece!) There are times that I'm travelling with family etc. and I don't really need the extra power (while saving some money from the cheaper fuel won't do me any harm...) So the question is what happens if you use 95 RON petrol while having the 98 RON map?? Do you you do any harm to the engine (which I definitely mind) or you just get reduced power -but still a bit better than the original (which I don't mind at all...) I guess that if there's any danger of damage I'll have to remap it everytime I want to change fuel quality, or just stick with one map and the relevant RON fuel... Thanks in advance for your reply!

[@JXLPerformance]

My advice would be to flash the 95 RON file initially if that's the fuel you're going to use, simply because there is an element of dilution if you're changing fuel quite often. On the 98 RON file the car will request higher boost targets and run slightly higher timing which is safe with higher octane, it you were to use a lower RON on that file it may present some issues. So for peace of mind, and the safety of your car, flash the 95 RON file, as you'll still have s lot more power than stock 👍

[@alexringb]

@@JXLPerformance Makes sense! To be honest I intend to buy the whole bunch of maps anyway, so I could try both the 95 and 98 file (with the corresponding fuel of course each time) and decide myself if the difference in performance makes up for the difference in fuel price... Thanks a lot again!

[@Vqrdict]

Thinking of buying a M240i will I regret it? I’m moving from a 118D lol

[@JXLPerformance]

You'll not regret it!

[@luigibgretta]

Hi mate. Did you have Ny trouble with bm3 recognising your car using the enet cable. Mine is saying no vehicle found and when I go onto setting on windows it says no ip adress found. Any idea mate?

[@JXLPerformance]

No issues at all with mine, may need to install some drivers so the enet cable can communicate?

[@enzozhan6971]

Do you start the car or the electrical power of the car when doing all this?

[@JXLPerformance]

Ignition on, engine off to begin with. Then once the flashing process has completed you start the car.

[@adrianwelch6461]

What made you choose this over the JB4 ??? Shak put you one on the R didn’t he ?

[@JXLPerformance]

More functionality on the BM3 over JB4 for the 140i, and yes he did fit the JB4 on my R. I have no doubts that the JB4 is very good for the B58, but the BM3 allows for custom tuning, individual settings and has loads of different maps to choose from as you get more for the car

[@adrianwelch6461]

JJB good shout 👌

[@Baseit.]

Can it be used on a BMW M135i 2014 plate

[@JXLPerformance]

Yes it can. You may need additional hardware such as charge pipes though

[@q2subzero]

Anyone know what make/model BMW is in the thumbnail for this video? thanks!

[@JXLPerformance]

M140i

[@q2subzero]

@@JXLPerformance is that available in the US?

[@kryptonitefitness]

Will those work on my 2014-15 BMW x3?

[@JXLPerformance]

Which engine is it?

[@jonchapman6321]

By doing this will the dealership not be able to tell it’s been mapped? I want to get BM3 but don’t want any problems when I come to sell and return to standard??

[@JXLPerformance]

They can if it's left mapped whilst in, the big thing that tempted me towards this is that you can revert it to stock & relock the DME, so if a dealer plugs it in, no tampering shows up. If you leave the Stage 1/2/2+ file on when you take your car in, they'll be able to see it's not standard. It takes 5 minutes (at the most) to reflash to stock and lock the DME, and another few minutes to reapply your modified file.

[@jonchapman6321]

JJB thank you so much mate I really appreciate the reply, and the answer this video has now swayed me into getting the BM3 mate so I can’t say how helpful it was! Love your content... as a new subscriber and a recent M140i owner I hopefully will get to meet you and enjoy the content more, thanks mate

[@JXLPerformance]

No problem, glad I could've helped! If you haven't already bought a BM3 give the guys at BoltOnMods a message on Facebook or Instagram (Shak Shivji or Simon Lee) I'll keep people up to date with events that I'll be attending so hopefully we can meet!

@@JXLPerformance amazing bro cheers

[@TrickstotheMax]

hey so I have bootmod3 already stage 2 on my n55 my buddy has a n55 too could we both use the same account and connect both of our cars to the tune at the same time?

[@JXLPerformance]

Unfortunately not, it uses the VIN as a marker point and locks to that particular VIN. You could transfer the license but then you'd have to revert everything to stock on your car.

[@drennaidoo6723]

Good video. Thanks. I just don't like clowns man, they freak me out.

[@JXLPerformance]

My bad! They've been there 10 years now!

[@relaxationguru3805]

Iv got a 240i with work done by pcw for the backbox and rear resonator, iv got a ppf filter instead of the front resonator so iv left that in, if i put on a bootmod3 stage 1 map would i need to do any other mods to the exhaust or would it run smoothly?

[@JXLPerformance]

Hi mate, Should run smoothly as far as I'm aware. The gains may not be as much given it has extra restriction, but the difference will be small

[@relaxationguru3805]

Cheers mate, im not massively looking for more speed but just more crackles in the exhaust, bcos of the work from pcw the crackles sound a lot better when i turn traction off, i mainly just want them to be more frequent as they only happen for the first 2 mins of when i start driving, but if i adjust them to be mire aggressive with the stage 1 map then hopefully in sport+ they always happen

[@JXLPerformance]

I would imagine so mate. The way you can control burbles on BM3 is great, it's a slider from 1-10 for both aggressiveness and duration, you can alter it so it only burbles above a certain RPM too 👍

[@relaxationguru3805]

Yeah its got to be purchased i reckon haha, on your video where you did the stage 1 map, was the only mod to your exhaust the resonator delete from and rear?
