Work on bootmod3 development started in October 2015 when we had the flash tunes ready to go on sale. Instead, we wanted to do something different and decided to build out bootmod3. Closed beta testing went on for a long while, then public beta and the followed by a public release.

We're here to help answer any questions as they relate to bootmod3 or the topic of this thread. @VF-Engineering, you have a great product, all the best. Please stay out of our threads.

You're taking too much business away...gotta come in and throw nonsense around and stir the pot.

PTF By the way thanks for also supporting F chassis N55 and N20 cars since you know us little non M guys like to tune as well. With respect understanding this is an S55 forum, but it's not the only community that desires good flash tunes.

VF still has the jerking issue and inconsistency from my friends who run the tune, even in their own thread this is mentioned, lets not forget about that. The only good thing i see coming from VF is the GTS features but thats not enough from paying the PREMIUM price tag. At the end of the day don't be mad at what PTF is doing.

P.S If you go on PTF's instagram and look at the latest burbles clip it sounds better than the GTS/ZCP thats jut my 2 cents

A year and a half worth of reviews and that's the only complaint they've had, seems like a non-issue to me.

I've read at least 2 similar reviews from BM3 customers, and the same complaints exist for even stock cars.

My understanding is that it's a characteristic of the car that is exaggerated when you add more power. Nothing worth harping on here. I've got my update from HEX and my car is buttery smooth.

Thanks for bringing that to our attention. Not sure who that member is or if he's running BM3 but that issue has been resolved a while back. It was just a matter of throttle mapping, 2 tables and a few rows. We've PM-ed to let them know there's an update. Strange they never posted on here that they run BM3 or in that post you quoted. How do you know they have BM3 on the car?

Stock throttle mapping is way too sensitive and can use smoothing on any car, tuned or not, not much to do with power.

Oooh ! even PURE cars, even Fuel-It cars, even BM3 stock turbos, PS2, meth standalone, bms meth, Port Injection AIC6 and even stack? Endless Possibilities!

Thank you for the Game-Changer! The reason why I didn't sell my car Real Tuning Options, Resale Value, ProTuningFreaks, BestSupportTeam #QualityOverQuantity

Here's an example of some of the stock throttle tables involved. You can see the uneven throttle mapping. Not rocket science to realize its too aggressive at lower RPM right? Much smoother in the table on the right than two tables on the left/below.

It's cool seeing this sort of info shared visually.

To think that less than a year ago everyone seemed to think the only way to make real power on these engines was with a piggy back.

Ok this shit is really comical right now! For months according to that VF thread they got people saying how it needs to be fixed some as recent as yesterday and VF talking about how COMPLICATED it is yada yada how stock cars also have the issue and its even worse with more power and ehat not. You start blasting BM3, PTF posts what the issue is and suddenly 2 hours later VF shows the SAME 3, not 50, tables as the fix to their issue? LMFAO! Someone owes BM3 guys a huge thank you and an "I'm sorry for talking shit" as well! Too funny!

haha, I though the same thing when I saw that. PTF is definitely setting the standard.

[1FastS4]

It's not surprising that people who have no idea what they're looking at in those two photos would draw that conclusion, but we already know that VF / HEX released their update to correct the throttle sensitivity issue in September of last year.

Nice try though! I'm pretty certain that the first company to apply all of the GTS features to non-GTS cars doesn't need to learn anything from a photo on Bimmerpost.

[chewbakam4]

I call bullshit on that. They have people reporting that issue and others in their thread since that September announcement including earlier today so it wasn't fixed. It don't matter to me but you're the one stirring shit talking perfection in their tunes. No tune or tuner is ever perfect and they all improve and change things with time but seeing this shit literally posted 2hrs after BM3 guys was hilarious.

[1FastS4]

ah man, you called BS. I guess it's game over now.
The top selling and most well reviewed flash tune that's been on the market since before you even created your fake account should just give up and go back to creating 800 horsepower supercharged Lamborghini's and Audi R8's.

Top selling? How can you prove that? They sell more the jb4 or BM3 which seem to be the favorite. I've seen an insane amount of N55's running bm3. Haven't seen VF set foot over on that side of the street. Just saying how can you state it's the top selling tune, you have raw data to prove that? How do you know how many units PTF sold?

No truth in that statement whatsoever just mere speculation.

We get you love your VF tune, but you nutswingers (BM3 guys included) need to relax. Fighting over which tune you run is about as lame as it gets. Take your pointless back and forth bullshit to PM's if you guys feel the need to try to one up each other.

For the benefit of everyone else that would rather not siphon through the spam posts and would rather read about results, GTFO.

[G35POPPEDMYCHERRY]

WHOSE WORKING FOR WHO????

[1FastS4]

I was referring to S55/F8X specifically - and JB4 isn't a flash tune.

The HEX Tuning thread also has over 1700 replies and 150,000+ views with more independent reviews than I can count in all 80 pages. No doubt that PTF killed it in the N55 market and that will help them here, but VF and HEX set the standard for S55 when they brought GTS features and MAP switching.

LOL I'm a fan but bro you're next level nut swingin' shit I can't reach. Good for you. Let's PM and leave people alone unless you require an audience?

[CaryTheLabelGuy]

Damnit PTF, you hittin' people in their feelz bruh.

[BMW M4 PWR]

Amazing stuff, really. Your tuning tool & software are literally adding value to this platform on the resale block lol

[Mantvis]

So to get burbles I need to do a bench flash, am I correct?
Is there a way to do it with out voiding the warranty?
