Hey guys, anyone tuned with BM3

Just wondering if anyone here went the Bootmod3 or Heatsync route on their M50I and possibly did a dynotune afterwards

I have gone the Bootmod3 route but haven’t gotten a chance to dyno it yet. It’s a very noticeable pull and my butt dyno approves.

If bm3 is an option on your vehicle, it's a must-do upgrade in my opinion.

Very noticeable power increase safely.

Thanks. Definitely want to hear experiences with the unlocking and BM3 performance.

Yes you will hace burbles with the factory exhaust. I did in sport and sport plus mode. I got significantly more burbles after I added a high flow catted DP and catback exhaust system

Dont know the part number off the top of my head, but they are one step colder NGK performance iridium.

My DME was locked. Needed to have it unlocked locally before i flashed.

If it has 11/2019 software or later, it's locked. You can check the current version by going into iDrive and selecting remote upgrade. Will tell you what you have now. The good news is, even if it is later software and locked, the pre 06/2020 DME's can be bench unlocked easily.
