    I have tested BM3 MHD and MG flasher on my RWD 2018 M240i the OTS maps that better suited my car were the ones from MG. I live in a high altitude area(2600m/8500ft above sea level) the 100-200 kmph dragy test using MHD and BM3 stage 2 98ron map didn’t improve the time at all compared to the stock time (12.5s) while using MG flasher stage 2 98 Ron improved it by 2 secs (10.5s). What I could see from the logs is that MHD and BM3 always requested a fixed target boost pressure across all the power curve, which at this altitude exhausted the turbo pretty quick around 3500rpm, while MG flasher has a variable boost pressure target across all the power curve, so it really adapts to the ambient conditions, and varies the target boost psi. At a lower altitude (250m) MG flasher performed really well too, increasing the target boost psi and handling it dynamically across the power curve, resulting in 100-200 8.7s using pump gas. So in a nutshell I really think the OTS maps from MG work better in different ambient pressures.
    Last but not least, excellent video Kevin, very insightful… you’re really the man when it comes to B58 stuff.

    Well done dude. Thank you. but i would appreciate if you could describe more direct impressions specially between mhd vs mgf. in my opinion, mhd has more low end torque while mg flasher feels smoother... almost like a natural aspirated engine but on top end mg flasher begins to raise. above 220kph mg flasher is pulling like a bull while mhd gets milder and milder. mhd has top much torqe in low end but less top end. opposite with mg flasher.

I just need a little extra power and torque and I don't want to move ahead of 91 Octane fuel. Is this a good platform option and what gains can I expect?

    I started with MHD on my 2020 G20 because I was drawn in by MHD+ and the ReFlex support listed on their website. I was pretty bummed when I activated my super license to find out that I only had access to basic flashing features, so I ended up jumping to bm3 not too long after that, but again I was misled by what is advertised, and I guess my software version is too new and CustomROM isn’t supported yet. I felt like my car was much smoother and happier overall on MHD’s Stage 2 E40 tune as compared to bm3’s Stage 2 E30 tune. On bm3, I encounter this weird oscillation when cruising with any burble setting that’s more aggressive than OEM, and for a while I would experience a weird limp mode-esque power cut when cruising in higher gears and I would roll into the throttle to pass someone or when I would shift at high RPMs under WOT. I’ve been working with bm3 support and we’ve gotten the cruising limp taken care of, but I’m starting to lose patience because now they’re just starting to take the “Oh we’ve never seen these issues before” stance when I’m sending logs showing what their tune and software is doing, rather than going in depth and coming up with a fix for the other issues that I’m still facing. I really want to go back to MHD, especially since now I know CustomROM doesn’t work on my car, but I may also end up going to EcuTek just so I can have more than just basic features, namely flex fuel.
