The seatbelt tip is really important guys, this applies to everything, especially if you're updating your NAV, which takes about an hour from the 30GB install. If your ECU shuts down, you'll brick the NAV. I'm doing my 2nd update now with the 2020 NBT North America NEXT.
Just got Stage 1 with 93 octane tuned on my 2017 X5. It’s awesome. Love the power n torque gain. Way better than getting the new 2019 X5. I like the F15 body style better.
I went with BootMod3 for my 2014 N55 M Sport. Just finished installing today. I'm just running Stage 1 until I get my Downpipe. It truly feels amazing and I have used the piggyback type of tuning previously. The burble from the exhaust sounds awesome too.
I just bought a 435i w/ stage 2 93 octane bootmod. I've got intercooler, charge pipe, catless etc. It was like this when I bought it and its an absolute 🚀...I don't know much about tuners etc but your video is EXTREMELY helpful ty.
Great video, man. I’m in the process of wanting to do these tunes to my M2 and did not know much about Bootmod3. You answered all my questions in this video. Thanks again.
Is it easy to revert back to stock? I have 4 more years of extended warranty so just wanna be sure i can revert back incase something breaks later on haha?
You’re flashing the ECU. If something did break, BMW will know you tuned your car.. if you’re worried about voiding your extended warranty, then get a piggyback tune/jb4.
Thanks! I ran a 12.5 with the old setup (and without the downpipe), so I'm curious to see what this will run. Have you gone to the drag strip with your car before? I'm sure you're car is no joke!
I just installed this days ago on f30 320i and coded sport transmission using bimmercode. It turned the car into a different beast. hp currently at around 250 ish. Was using jb+ prior to this, I recommend this over jb+ or even jb4.
Also curious as to what mods you have, I’ve got a f31 320i 2013. I want to do a cold air intake and then get a tune. Possible a down pipe and then stage 2?
Anyone had issues clearing the codes online after flashing, drivetrain and fuel pump multifunction,tried many times but can’t clear. Great video as always Brian.
Kies Motorsports Thank you I think the problem is I wasn’t using Google Chrome but the flash was completed without issues or at least I hope so I didn’t get a chance to drive a car but under my new ots map it says downloaded, I will start the whole program again once I install Google Chrome I just used simple “safari/google” browser on MacBook Pro.
Dude for whatever reason my N55 just did not like the BMS stage one, it was working one day, blew my charge pipe got that fixed and now I get drivetrain malfunction every time I get on it
Can you post a video on how to activate you launch control after flashing your car with the bm3 tune please cause after loading my bm3 tune I can’t use my launch control and I can’t find a video on how to do that thanks!
Hi Bryan, Definitely considering this for my 328i N20. I have a jb4 but there are some dislikes about it for sure. I want to know a few things about bootmod3, if you would be so kind. 1. Unlike jb4 will bootmod3 boost over stock psi below 50% throttle? 2. Can it be used to auto delete codes since i have a catless DP? 3. Are the OTS maps a purchase or free with the license? Thanks and love the videos, keep em coming.
Kenan Davidson Hey Kenan, I too have an N20 with the jb4 but I'm completely stock currently. I was wondering if your catless downpipe is the only performance mod you've done to yours, and around how much hp you think you're getting out of the car with the map that best suits your setup, thanks!
Make sure your battery charger is at least 50A. Or if 50+A battery charger is too costly for you hook up another car with jump cables and engine running. ;)
So which would be better to do? The BM3 or the JB4? Is there any plus side to running both or is it redundant? Can the BM3 also alter the sports display on the iDrive screen?
Once you are flashed to stage 2, do the changes only take effect while in sport or sport+? I suppose a better question is how does a bootmod3 tune (let's say Stage 2 + Transmission) work in accordance with the 4 different drive modes?
Brian, When you flash the car with say Stage 1 and then want to go back to Stock Flash, does it take you the IStep Version the car was on or does it update to the latest one? I for one want to stick with the IStep Version I have (2016 M3) and don't want the newer one. Thanks.
Hi bryan. Im from Puerto Rico and i have a 328i f30 2013 and everyone tells me that the jb4 is the best thing to tune a bmw but i know one guy that told me that the bootmod3 is better. I just want to know where to invest my money jb4 or bootmod3 Thank and great videos
Man! That image of the bottom of your PC made me laff,...LOL! I thought I was the only one out there that did such crazy stuff! I have a similar setup,...except, the accessories are mounted on a board and attached to the Lid of my PC,....a Dell Precision M4800 workhorse! LOL! Good vid....
Hi Brian . Thx for your videos. You could use the passenger's seat belt while doing your thing... If I may, do you think 6 cylinder engines are more reliable than 4 cylinder engine bx8. Greetings from France 🇫🇷
Thank you for sharing. I have BimmerCode and BimmerLink but didn't know what BootMod3 was for. Do you believe that no tuning should be done before performing the "crank hub fix"? Jon 2015 M4.
Can someone please explain @7:09 in the video it says Stage 1, 93 octane (98 RON). I thought RON was was the octane number .So in Australia we have premium unleaded which says 98 on the pump is that 98 octane or 98 RON. What are the pumps in America marked with ?
Hi. Just wondering if any of this App flashers Will work on a Activehybrid 3 before spending $600 on this. Try doing a coding and HMD and is not working for me. Thanks
really nice, but you also should point out to your customers that warranty is lost on everything regarding engine transmission etc. The triggered tuining protection flag can also not be undone and the dealer will deny in case of warrenty!! car branded forever as tuner car
I currently have jb4 map 5 (auto tune) On my 435. But I’m gonna switch to bootmod3 stage 2. I’m just wondering if I’m still gonna be impressed like the other UA-camrs. I can’t wait to see the difference
would it make a difference if you use an obd2 cable that already has a USB apposed to one that has an ethernet connector and using an adapter? you talked about all the pros in your video, but no product is perfect. in the time that you have been using Bootmod3 what would you say the drawbacks are, and what have you done to combat them?
Quick question, when you purchase the license does that only grant one tune? Such as say I purchase it and down the road I purchase a larger inter cooler or something, will cost me to tune it again?
I was told my ecu has to be unlocked first before putting bm3 on. I have a 2019 BMW X3 M40i and you just flashing it and the software unlock it for you. Is this only for the car in the video or all? Please advise. Thanks.
Hi im buying this in 2 days just wondering how soon do you think im going to need to replace my plugs after i do the tune my plugs are new i have a 2014 bmw 550i xdrive thanks
I’ve had bootmod3 on my M2 for a couple months now, even upgraded the plugs to NGK plugs recommended by bootmod3 tuners and I think it should be called misfire3. My car runs pretty strong for about 5 minutes of track use and then it’s done. The tune has ruined 2 spark plugs with the OTS stage one tune. I’m even running a CSF Intercooler.
Hey bro, I have a N20 320 2015, how reliable is bm3 now after 2 years since this video came out ? Also what’s your take on the the timing chain issue in the N20s ? Also I heard from our mechanics that tuning is not the best thing especially where I live “Egypt” because our octane is not the best.
Hi so if I purchase the license for N55 example ,can I only use the license once for 1 specific N55 F30 ? or I can Use my license on Multiple F30 n55s and load maps on all of them or is just for 1 specific vin I loaded in the beginning ? thanks awesome video very well explained just need a answer on that
How long does it take for the ECU to adapt to the new map parameters? I have just flashed my 2013 328i with OTS stage 1 octane 93 and then I went for a ride which I felt the engine is not as smooth as stock map.
Did you change the spark plugs and coil pack, this is very recommended anytime you tune your vehicle, it's takes about a week for your ecu to adapt to the tune and as the week goes it progressively gets faster until it adapts
I have an F30 with the N55 engine, 6clydinder inline, 2013 BMW 335i 4-door sedan. It is all stock. It has staggered fitment wheels, Front 225/40ZR19 and rear 255/35 ZR19. If I install Bootmod on th ecar, how much additional horsepower can I anticipate getting out of the stock? What modes should I do on the car that will enable me to get more out of Bootmod? What aftermarket wheels do you recommend? I live in Northern VA in the DC area.
What if I already have a Stage 3 xHP transmission tune. What would happen if I doubled it up an flash the bootmod3 transmission tune as well? What are your recommendations regarding this?
Hi Kies, can you purchase more than one map with just one license purchase? Are all the maps available with just one license purchase or need to purchase each map seperately? Much thanks!
What are some brands that I can look into for a high-flow 200cel downpipe. I really don't think I want to go the catless version judging by your videos that I have seen and read up on. Thanks for any insight you can give, your videos are awesome Bryan keep up the good work.
Just out of curiosity I have been looking into Fabspeed even though they are way more expensive. It catches my eye that their product states it will not throw a CEL on the dash is this to be the same with the ER sports cat. Figured I'd ask how you felt about this claim since you seem to be the F30 guru right about now lol, any insight would be greatly appreciated.
The seatbelt tip is really important guys, this applies to everything, especially if you're updating your NAV, which takes about an hour from the 30GB install. If your ECU shuts down, you'll brick the NAV. I'm doing my 2nd update now with the 2020 NBT North America NEXT.

This is a really thorough and great video. Simple and clear instructions. Has given me a lot of confidence to do this myself. Thanks a bunch.
You definitely sold me on the BootMod3. I was considering the JB4 but this is much easier and better imo. Thank you for your video.
Any dyno data? Would love to see expected HP increases with the different OTC tunes.
To the point, and genuinely friendly guy. And that is why Kies is awesome.
Dyno data will be really helpful here - lots of subjective statements on power "increases"
I went with BootMod3 for my 2014 N55 M Sport. Just finished installing today. I'm just running Stage 1 until I get my Downpipe. It truly feels amazing and I have used the piggyback type of tuning previously. The burble from the exhaust sounds awesome too.
Do you have buy additional tunes each time you change your configuration?
@@shawnconnelly1 yup, 100 dollars / map from what i remember
are you a door salesman? 1:27
Wait for it... WAIT FOR IT.... BWAH! best comment ever, had no idea what to expect there
i would actually buy one
Fake doors. Why waste time with doors that go somewhere?!
I just bought a 435i w/ stage 2 93 octane bootmod. I've got intercooler, charge pipe, catless etc. It was like this when I bought it and its an absolute 🚀...I don't know much about tuners etc but your video is EXTREMELY helpful ty.
Great video, man. I’m in the process of wanting to do these tunes to my M2 and did not know much about Bootmod3. You answered all my questions in this video. Thanks again.
Do you have to buy each flash? Or just pay the one time price and then can switch between flashes as you upgrade?
Alexander Collier you pay once and get all the ots tunes available
Thanks alot for this update .just got rid of the 328i and jumped in a 340i ..👍 going to need this upgrade
Sure thing :)
Kies Motorsports 340 is a b58
@mugenctr they have a tune for the B58 now :)
Just completed. Please do the transmission flash too, not sure why it is never brought up, it is amazing!!
Is it easy to revert back to stock? I have 4 more years of extended warranty so just wanna be sure i can revert back incase something breaks later on haha?
Very easy to revert, dw
It will know the dme has been unlocked I’m pretty sure
You’re flashing the ECU. If something did break, BMW will know you tuned your car.. if you’re worried about voiding your extended warranty, then get a piggyback tune/jb4.
Nicely done man! 👌🏻
Time for some powaaaa
Thanks! I ran a 12.5 with the old setup (and without the downpipe), so I'm curious to see what this will run. Have you gone to the drag strip with your car before? I'm sure you're car is no joke!
thanks for the video! I flashed stage 1 today on my 340i. Woke it up so much, I couldn't believe how noticeable the difference was
Just flashed my F80 to CS+ 👍👍👍
Nice!!
I just installed this days ago on f30 320i and coded sport transmission using bimmercode. It turned the car into a different beast. hp currently at around 250 ish. Was using jb+ prior to this, I recommend this over jb+ or even jb4.
What map do you use? 91 or 93 octane? Any mods on your car? I'm interested how it compares with JB4 map5 on stock 320i
Also curious as to what mods you have, I’ve got a f31 320i 2013. I want to do a cold air intake and then get a tune. Possible a down pipe and then stage 2?
We have 98 Octane here in New Zealand - Would this work with that? Or does it have to be 93 Octane? Thanks
Our 98 is the same as US 93.
Excellent video as always. Addressed just about all of my questions and concerns!
Thanks! When you doing yours :) lol
Kies Motorsports haha temptation growing.
Anyone had issues clearing the codes online after flashing, drivetrain and fuel pump multifunction,tried many times but can’t clear.
Great video as always Brian.
Do Online Recode and you’ll clear it all out 😀
Kies Motorsports Thank you I think the problem is I wasn’t using Google Chrome but the flash was completed without issues or at least I hope so I didn’t get a chance to drive a car but under my new ots map it says downloaded, I will start the whole program again once I install Google Chrome I just used simple “safari/google” browser on MacBook Pro.
Darn it! Just when I thought I was out, you pull me back in😩. Now I gotta sell my BMS Stage1 in order to get this sexy tune!!
Dude for whatever reason my N55 just did not like the BMS stage one, it was working one day, blew my charge pipe got that fixed and now I get drivetrain malfunction every time I get on it
Did you have a battery charger connected? I want to flash but i don’t have a battery charger..
Same situation. I am not sure if should since it is my first time.
Love your channel man always helping me out on the f30 platform
Thanks!
Thank you for the video...it literally answered all the questions I had about purchasing and installing Bootmod3!
Awesome!!
Can you post a video on how to activate you launch control after flashing your car with the bm3 tune please cause after loading my bm3 tune I can’t use my launch control and I can’t find a video on how to do that thanks!
you are awesome! this is the greatest video about the bootmod3
:)
Hi Bryan,
Definitely considering this for my 328i N20. I have a jb4 but there are some dislikes about it for sure. I want to know a few things about bootmod3, if you would be so kind.
1. Unlike jb4 will bootmod3 boost over stock psi below 50% throttle?
2. Can it be used to auto delete codes since i have a catless DP?
3. Are the OTS maps a purchase or free with the license?
Thanks and love the videos, keep em coming.
Kenan Davidson Hey Kenan, I too have an N20 with the jb4 but I'm completely stock currently. I was wondering if your catless downpipe is the only performance mod you've done to yours, and around how much hp you think you're getting out of the car with the map that best suits your setup, thanks!
Could this BM3 work on my F31 LCI 320D? Or petrol engines only?
thank god i came across this, got a 2018 b48,, was worried id need to check the DME but dont need to, this will do it ?!
Make sure your battery charger is at least 50A. Or if 50+A battery charger is too costly for you hook up another car with jump cables and engine running. ;)
how about a BEF. dos bootmod3 works with JB4? i have a BMS WMI and it need s to use it with the JB4
can you post the link of the adapter you plug into the OBD port (not the ENET) that allows you to use your phone without your laptop?
Video coming soon on that
Thanks for the video, I just picked up a 15 M4 and from the past I've always used JB4's but after seeing this I'll definitely be reconsidering.
So which would be better to do? The BM3 or the JB4? Is there any plus side to running both or is it redundant? Can the BM3 also alter the sports display on the iDrive screen?
Once you are flashed to stage 2, do the changes only take effect while in sport or sport+? I suppose a better question is how does a bootmod3 tune (let's say Stage 2 + Transmission) work in accordance with the 4 different drive modes?
Subscribing now. Badass tune brother!
Hey man love your videos appreciate the step by step process how you explain things!
This is an exceptional tutorial video! Seriously great work
Thanks!
Keep it up! like the show and i am gona buy a bootmood3 S55
Thanks for you help ordering today Bryan! Can't wait to try it out. Cheers :)
Sure thing!
Wish you could tune my car. Great video bro.
Great video - where’d you get that jacket?
Brian, When you flash the car with say Stage 1 and then want to go back to Stock Flash, does it take you the IStep Version the car was on or does it update to the latest one? I for one want to stick with the IStep Version I have (2016 M3) and don't want the newer one. Thanks.
Hi bryan. Im from Puerto Rico and i have a 328i f30 2013 and everyone tells me that the jb4 is the best thing to tune a bmw but i know one guy that told me that the bootmod3 is better. I just want to know where to invest my money jb4 or bootmod3 Thank and great videos
Do they have an EWG map? In this video i only saw the PWG map. Awesome video btw!
My agent isn't reading my OBD for some reason. Says cannot find ENET cable. Has this happened to anyone? What is the fix?
Curious bm3 told me catless dp was required for stage 2, I was thinking of going catted dp like you
Man! That image of the bottom of your PC made me laff,...LOL! I thought I was the only one out there that did such crazy stuff! I have a similar setup,...except, the accessories are mounted on a board and attached to the Lid of my PC,....a Dell Precision M4800 workhorse! LOL! Good vid....
Hi Brian . Thx for your videos. You could use the passenger's seat belt while doing your thing... If I may, do you think 6 cylinder engines are more reliable than 4 cylinder engine bx8. Greetings from France 🇫🇷
Thanks for the Video..... You gotta get to the track now... you ran a 12.59 with JB4 no DP .... hope you can hit 11.99...!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing. I have BimmerCode and BimmerLink but didn't know what BootMod3 was for. Do you believe that no tuning should be done before performing the "crank hub fix"? Jon 2015 M4.
also do i need any type of hardware installed to be able to tune?
I was at a shop today getting my downpipe and possible bm3 and just found out about too ..got my obd cable :)
Nice!
Hi Brian, after a year do you still recommend Bootmod3? And does it have a 98 octane map?
Yes, 100% It's incredible! There isn't a current 98 octane map, only 93
Hi Brian, how much is hp and nm after tuning?=) great to c ur video!
I wish you make videos for f13 m6 and f10 m5! Your videos %100 👌
man, excellent video. very informative
Can someone please explain @7:09 in the video it says Stage 1, 93 octane (98 RON). I thought RON was was the octane number .So in Australia we have premium unleaded which says 98 on the pump is that 98 octane or 98 RON. What are the pumps in America marked with ?
Hey do you have an install video for the upgraded intercooler? I have a f10 n55 so it should be very helpful to me!
Hi. Just wondering if any of this App flashers Will work on a Activehybrid 3 before spending $600 on this. Try doing a coding and HMD and is not working for me. Thanks
Yes, they work!
Cool. Last question. Will a k-dcan cable work for this? Its a OBD2 to USB not to ethernet. Let me know if you know. Thanks again.
really nice, but you also should point out to your customers that warranty is lost on everything regarding engine transmission etc. The triggered tuining protection flag can also not be undone and the dealer will deny in case of warrenty!! car branded forever as tuner car
Can you please let us know in ahead of time when is bimmerfest in Jersey thanks a lot will really appreciate it
I believe August
I assume once you buy it you can install later on down the line if you choose to wait
I currently have jb4 map 5 (auto tune)
On my 435. But I’m gonna switch to bootmod3 stage 2.
I’m just wondering if I’m still gonna be impressed like the other UA-camrs.
I can’t wait to see the difference
It’s night and day.. let us know when you’re ready 🤙🏼
Can the end user create their own custom tune? I’m not interested in ots tunes or using a custom tooner
Do I need an upgraded charges pipe or intake for 320i ? Before doing this?
I recommend it charge pipe is know for blowing but intake can wait if your in a budget but if you want to squeeze a lil more hp get an intake
Hey! Excellent video. I know you had mentioned in your video about JB4, do you have any comparisons between BootMod3 and RaceChip?
how much improvement in Torque and Power figures
Hey Bryan! What battery charger do you suggest or have? I’m planning to get Bootmod3 soon and will do the tune at home
would it make a difference if you use an obd2 cable that already has a USB apposed to one that has an ethernet connector and using an adapter? you talked about all the pros in your video, but no product is perfect. in the time that you have been using Bootmod3 what would you say the drawbacks are, and what have you done to combat them?
Quick question, when you purchase the license does that only grant one tune? Such as say I purchase it and down the road I purchase a larger inter cooler or something, will cost me to tune it again?
I was told my ecu has to be unlocked first before putting bm3 on. I have a 2019 BMW X3 M40i and you just flashing it and the software unlock it for you. Is this only for the car in the video or all? Please advise. Thanks.
After you purchased the BM3 license, are the OTS maps included? Because im not sure if you need the purschase extra for the OTS maps? thank you
If you want to customize your burbles do you have to flash your car every time you adjust something?
Do you how can I order one that works with X5 35i 2012 ?
Please let me know if stage one is available .
Thanks
Hi im buying this in 2 days just wondering how soon do you think im going to need to replace my plugs after i do the tune my plugs are new i have a 2014 bmw 550i xdrive thanks
Is it possible to use BM3 in a diesel engine? When browsing the webpage i only see 320i, 328i,....
Wonderful video!
Hey I was just wondering I have a cold air intake and catless down pipe can I still run stage 2 93 ??
I’ve had bootmod3 on my M2 for a couple months now, even upgraded the plugs to NGK plugs recommended by bootmod3 tuners and I think it should be called misfire3. My car runs pretty strong for about 5 minutes of track use and then it’s done. The tune has ruined 2 spark plugs with the OTS stage one tune. I’m even running a CSF Intercooler.
Something isn’t right.. what model number for the plugs and what gap are you running?
Kies Motorsports NGK 97506 gapped to .023”.
Hey bro, I have a N20 320 2015, how reliable is bm3 now after 2 years since this video came out ? Also what’s your take on the the timing chain issue in the N20s ? Also I heard from our mechanics that tuning is not the best thing especially where I live “Egypt” because our octane is not the best.
They update the timing chains from April 2014+ so the timing chain isn't ad bad as the older models
Idk anything about Egypt gas but I hope I answered what you were looking for
Does this mean if you get the 91 tune and want to go to a 93 tune later, it’s a new purchase altogether?
Hello can you tell me if anywhere in the world can I buy and tune my car via bootmod3? Thank you
Can you apply that to a manual transmission? I'm looking to just get the burbles. I have a stock m4. Thanks in advance
Hi so if I purchase the license for N55 example ,can I only use the license once for 1 specific N55 F30 ? or I can Use my license on Multiple F30 n55s and load maps on all of them or is just for 1 specific vin I loaded in the beginning ? thanks awesome video very well explained just need a answer on that
Hi, the license is good for one vin number. When you sell the car you have the opportunity to sell the license one time for another car 😀
How long does it take for the ECU to adapt to the new map parameters? I have just flashed my 2013 328i with OTS stage 1 octane 93 and then I went for a ride which I felt the engine is not as smooth as stock map.
Did you change the spark plugs and coil pack, this is very recommended anytime you tune your vehicle, it's takes about a week for your ecu to adapt to the tune and as the week goes it progressively gets faster until it adapts
Is there anywhere I can go to see the power gains for the different OTS maps?
Is it even worth doing this on N20? 3GT 320i? What you recon HP increase might be 🤔
I have an F30 with the N55 engine, 6clydinder inline, 2013 BMW 335i 4-door sedan. It is all stock. It has staggered fitment wheels, Front 225/40ZR19 and rear 255/35 ZR19. If I install Bootmod on th ecar, how much additional horsepower can I anticipate getting out of the stock? What modes should I do on the car that will enable me to get more out of Bootmod? What aftermarket wheels do you recommend? I live in Northern VA in the DC area.
Excellent 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
What if I already have a Stage 3 xHP transmission tune. What would happen if I doubled it up an flash the bootmod3 transmission tune as well? What are your recommendations regarding this?
Hi Kies, can you purchase more than one map with just one license purchase? Are all the maps available with just one license purchase or need to purchase each map seperately? Much thanks!
How do you get a Wifi connection with the Ethernet plugged in?
Hows the tune held up years later? any motor issues etc
Can the tune you use also work with aggressive burbles adjustments or are they separate?
What are some brands that I can look into for a high-flow 200cel downpipe. I really don't think I want to go the catless version judging by your videos that I have seen and read up on. Thanks for any insight you can give, your videos are awesome Bryan keep up the good work.
Hey Alex, we have the Evolution Racewerks ones! What kind of car do you have?
I have a 2014 Estoril Blue F30 335xi EWG N55, just like your precious in all your videos.
Awesome! Try this: www.kiesmotorsports.com/kiesstore/evolution-racewerks-competition-series-4-catless-downpipe-f30f32f33f20f21-n55-r5zzr
I also have a scratched one on sale.. www.kiesmotorsports.com/kiesstore/scratch-and-dent-n55-2014-catted-downpipe-with-thermal-coating
Just out of curiosity I have been looking into Fabspeed even though they are way more expensive. It catches my eye that their product states it will not throw a CEL on the dash is this to be the same with the ER sports cat. Figured I'd ask how you felt about this claim since you seem to be the F30 guru right about now lol, any insight would be greatly appreciated.
We have 102 pump fuel in europe what map do we select
Thats a good question
So as far as a warranty can you switch back to the stock map with out any trace?
