Man, I got so much second hand excitement watch this video. Can't wait!

[@RADBAVARIAN]

Thanks man! It's truly an incredible experience. I practically have a new car

[@Mzavoo]

Bro after i watched your video, i went ahead and did some digging to see if I got that 52% and/or 56% hp boost when i found out that i have a ewg20i n20 like you I went nuts I know how to tune, just saving money for bm3 tune, super exited!! not everyone has a 320i like me and you so this was a good reference and what to expect! Thank you!

[@RADBAVARIAN]

Haha this is great! Hope you can enjoy it!

[@KiesMotorsports]

Ha love the reaction! Welcome to BM3 🤙🏼

[@RADBAVARIAN]

It was seriously a fantastic experience, triggered more mods to envision for

[@vectorhector1214]

Hello I just brought bootmod3 from extreme power house,DONT need the cable what’s next do they send me an activation code ?

[@RADBAVARIAN]

usually pro tuning freaks, emails you the code.

[@jcandlesonthebeat939]

"OMG it Burbles" Best part of the video!

[@RADBAVARIAN]

Insane burbles haha

[@DonavonSalas]

Just got my 320i I am 16 and this time looks really easy and I am going for it

[@RADBAVARIAN]

That is dope! Keep me posted, would love to bring some insights for you. Also, hit up @kiesmotorsports for any parts (mention we referred you)

[@kingflipp82]

Baddass video pimp. Just got my 428i and this just sold me to tuning it 🤙

[@RADBAVARIAN]

Yesss!!!

[@koceto6527]

Hey bro, did you proceed with tuning it? How is it doing if so, like is the difference worth it? Enjoy man🙏🏼

[@pauljohnson7733]

I've got a 320i x drive touring estate, I had a stage 1 and results are good, 0-60 = 5.9secs top speed 168mph,184bhp to 275bhp, thinking about a stage 2.

[@MohamedTarek-qm3vf]

I’m getting a 320i 2015, watching your video made me very excited to bm3 mine as well but here’s the question, what engine mods should i do first before I tune ? Other than intake and charge pipe ?

[@RADBAVARIAN]

That's awesome! Welcome to the N20 group! Also, make sure you join our network, DM me on IG. Charge pipe would be my next mod to play it safe, lol. That's my next install lol. That way you can support the extra boost you're pushing through

[@iamchrishundreds]

Love the new tune . Great video 👍👍

[@RADBAVARIAN]

Thank you! It's a crazy experience

[@ClassEdits]

Just got this today for my 320 daily 💪🏼

[@RADBAVARIAN]

Good choice! How does it feel?

[@ClassEdits]

RAD BAVARIAN it feels amazing almost like a whole different car lmao. the options with burble settings are fire🔥

[@bayerboy87]

I literally am excited for you! I want to know what your gas mileage average has been with the re-map... I mean I want to be a bit faster but currently with 93 octane living in the Midwest ... I would like to keep my 38MPG Highway I have been getting or at least keep around that number. Thanks!

[@RADBAVARIAN]

Well, I have not driven moderately, ha! So, with that in mind, I am currently at 21mpg. I might do a video on my overall gas consumption with Stage1. Thanks!!

[@TheHorrorGeek]

Okay, so how much did this cost? And is it just hooking the cable to the laptop to the car? I'm totally interested now. If we added 50 or so HP to my 240i...well, that would be fun. :p

[@RADBAVARIAN]

You can find the correct pricing at Kies Motorsports website. They are a distributor for PTF / Bootmod3. Make sure you get the bundle and mention to them that you saw this video 😎🙏

[@mydc2200]

How to open my registered car BM3? Because the agent intalled for me, Thx

[@RADBAVARIAN]

What do yo mean?

[@mydc2200]

I bought bm3 through tuner, what do i need to get my account?

[@anthonyaviles1863]

So I’m installing an intake, charge pipe, boost pipe, and diverter valve in my engine. Will this be safe with a stage 2 tune?

[@RADBAVARIAN]

I would say possibly change out the intercooler as well. I have those same mods but waiting in that one part before I push stage2. I wouldn't want to be on limp mode, lol

[@kaybmusicgroup]

Nice I have a 16' 320i too, any drawbacks as far as reliability and risk of damage on a stage 1? / How much did you find your M Sport wheel for?

[@RADBAVARIAN]

Well, I'm not pushing it too hard yet! I want to upgrade a few more parts before I track it, or drive it too aggressively. Though, it is the same engine as the 328i. This is my daily, and so far on day four, it's excellent! The tune is adjusting to the way I drive. It also helps that I have an intake and Inlet pipe from MST. If you do want any parts, contact Kies Motorsports, they are pretty Rad 💯🚀🔥

[@goolamuns.a.hussein6993]

RAD BAVARIAN the 320i and the 328i has the same engine block but not the same piston mate. The compression ratio itself is different.

[@RADBAVARIAN]

I have been looking in that! Just need to spice up my credit a bit more lol

[@machucast]

@@RADBAVARIAN 6 months later, blown engine :D.... to PT's credit, seems like it was because of a faulty spark plug\coil.

[@kennyk8959]

What else is done to ur car? I have a cold air intake on my 2014 320i and I’m looking at getting a catless downpipe then tune (trying to convince my parents to let me get a muffler delete lol). Do u think I should get the tune first then work from that or get downpipe then tune? Car sounds amazing can’t wait to get mine sounding as good!

[@RADBAVARIAN]

Hey! So, if you're interested in a downpipe, you might as well get Stage2 from BM3. That would give you a ton of power, and it's required for Stage2, that and an intercooler. With Stage1, I felt a huge difference for sure, but currently, I'm addressing the added stress of other parts due to extra boost. My next upgrade is a Charge Pipe and possibly an AWE exhaust.

[@user-wy9vp3ye2u]

Will I be able to tune my car from my phone after I purchase the bm3 tune or I’m going to need a laptop ?

[@RADBAVARIAN]

I believe with the tech now, you can do it more efficiently. Before you needed an OBD to Ethernet to a Wi-Fi modem which was a simple setup too

[@omazdetailing4979]

Hi friend I don’t know if you still have your 3201 I am looking to buy an and I want to map it to a stage 1. My question is do I need to add a cold intake? Upgrade my drown pipe? In order to tune the car? Thanks and I enjoy your videos From AZ

[@trey3657]

If ur going stage 1 u don’t need any of that the only thing I would say is maybe a charge pipe to play it safe. If you’re going stage 2 get a downpipe

[@johnnytc19]

Hi, do you think I should use octane 93 instead of 91 after doing the stage 1 as I heard of some people's worrying about causing damage of the engine?

[@RADBAVARIAN]

A higher octane could help, but also you have to have the right tune.

[@rjbye7689]

What mods do you need to do to be prepared for a stage 1 tune?

[@RADBAVARIAN]

Hey! I have a video on that as well. I would say at the minimum a charge pipe then work on your airflow and fuel.

[@Metoy3r]

Did you get burbles/pops before the tune?

[@RADBAVARIAN]

I got some, minor ones when I deleted the muffler and resonator. Now, it really pops!

[@MohamedTarek-qm3vf]

Hey bro, is n20 ? If so, considering the timing belt problem for most of 320s what’s your take on this and how reliable is the car after the bm3 because I’m a little hesitant to do mine

[@RADBAVARIAN]

Well, I have had BM3 stage1 for over 4 months, drove it over 1,000+ miles and ZERO issues. Just maintain it, replace parts that would need to be changed like: diverter valve, charge pipe, inlet, etc. and you should be fine.

[@trooper_f30]

What was your exhaust setup here and can you post more exhaust clips

[@RADBAVARIAN]

Sorry I’m just getting back to you now, this is the AWE exhaust suite

[@judalife]

I’m gonna get my Botmod3 for 320i, so excited. Please update, so far do you have any problem with the N20 engine after the remap?

[@RADBAVARIAN]

Nope! I drove to Arizona from Los Angeles, zero problems at all.

[@senadselimovic8649]

How much hp did you get with the stage 1 on dyno run? im about to tune mine tomorrow it will be about 250hp. I couldn't believe how good your cars sounds, i hops i will get the same results

[@RADBAVARIAN]

Thanks! Well, PTF states an 86hp gain. So, once I have more bolts on ill take it for a Dyno run.

[@senadselimovic8649]

@@RADBAVARIAN i have tuned my car now and the dealer told me that if you add pops and bangs it will harm the turbo. Insted i have now 250 hp witch is a balanced hp to not harm the turbos and engine.

[@martinlin522]

Hey bro, I always feel somewhat jerky at low speeds for my f30, especially in the 1st/2nd gear range (most notably up to 20mph). The car seems to pull back at times when I would expect it to transition smoothly. Did this tune solve this problem?

[@RADBAVARIAN]

Well, my guess, jerkyness (rough idle) could be spark plugs. I got my 320i serviced (sparks, oil change, etc.), then I tuned it. It tends to have a rough idle as well, but I believe it's because I might need to swap my sparks to a 2step colder to keep up with my tune. To answer your question, my tune did somewhat help, but changing sparks can also help you too. Maybe even check your air filter.

[@thecastpod5925]

Do u have cold air, and or straight pipe?

[@RADBAVARIAN]

I had a straight pipe but then installed the AWE exhaust suite. I was also running the MST intake, got both from Kies Motorsports 🚀

[@Exclusive-S3]

So did you purchase the tune with the ots maps bundle?

[@RADBAVARIAN]

I did. It's the inky way im able to switch between maps

[@a_sher2805]

Are the burbles safe for stock cats?

[@RADBAVARIAN]

Yup! Or you can delete it too lol 😂

[@kevinheaven2889]

What mods did you have on this car before bm3 ?

[@RADBAVARIAN]

Hey! I have an intake, inlet pipe, muffler, and resonator delete.

How did tou did this

[@RADBAVARIAN]

I have other videos that talk about this.

[@cxde7563]

If I got a Thornton bmw performance chip that plugs into the OBD2 port and I unplug it for the check ups, will it stay in my ECU and then see I had a chip tune?

[@RADBAVARIAN]

That is a great question, I am not too sure to be honest
