My question is, if I add the bm3 flash into the mix what should be the expected power gains? Would it make the car more reliable since it's cleaning everything up that the jb4 can't?

Id ask PTF for a stage 2 tune with a lil modifications to the fuel tables to make it E85 friendly since you're running it all the time anyway. Allowing for E40 and maybe a slight bump to timing curve accordingly as well... your car would pick up a lot with such a tune + ur existing mods

+1 along with raised torque request/limits and a TCU flash

A big amen to that! Question, is that the same as essentially turning off the dreaded "torque management" on the 6MT's? If not then is it possible to do so?

So PTF is there an official e85 mix OTS map expected in the near future? 2 weeks?

I see what you did there.

Dealer listings updated.

Any recent dynos for stage 2 on 91 octane? Preferably with dps, mid pipe and intake. Anything close works. I have VRSF catless dps, AA Catless midpipe, bms intake, stock exhaust

Hey PTF - I've heard about how hundreds of tables are available once the DME is unlocked and BM3 allows us to develop a custom tune which could leverage a bunch of them. But what is the application used to actually create the tune?

The BM3 Agent iOS app has very little tune 'editing' functionality (understandably), so what would I or my tuner use to go about building a custom tune? I saw TunerPro referenced on your site, is that the custom tune path?

I come from K-series tuning with offerings from Hondata, Haltech, etc. which are feature rich thick-client apps, are we just not there yet for bm3?

Yep. We've got TunerPro XDFs generated for all the software versions we've encountered so far on the S55. We're also looking into something a little more custom and user friendly to use than TunerPro for users that may not be as tune savvy to adjust things like cold start, idle rpm, turning off cat monitors, speed limiter, burble, boost, fuel and timing possibly etc. Typically to pull any of these off you need to do changes to a number of tables in the DME but its nicer with something like a slider or just a text box you enter a value in for say cold start rpm or idle, etc.

Ignore, ptf thanks for the quick response

[M3pedals]

Any update on the release of the custom tuning mentioned above PTF?

Any update on the expected release date of this new feature?

Why do we lose throttle response and engine smoothness when we combine jb4 to bm3 flash. I need jb4 for pi, but it loses flash tune feel when i get jb4 on.
Maybe ditch jb4 and get aic6 ?

My friend slowF32 went thru this and it seems like everyone else when jb4 comes in the picture.

Not my experience at all, matter of fact if you are running BM3 the JB4 shouldn't be configured to doing anything at all unless you are spraying and adding boost. Part throttle driving should be unaffected by the JB4.

I think it may not happen with Meth/jb4 but definitely happening with Pi/BMS controller... Know at least 3-4 ppl for the past few months.

Any work yet on killing torque management for manual cars? Thanks

I even experienced it in 2013 i had MPPK as stock tune and when i get jb4 on, throttle isn't as sharp as without jb4. Its like ecu knowing jb4 is here.. and being lets say "Shy".

Can you explain this in a bit more detail?
