Haven't not ironed this out yet or added all of the models and options to the site. Will do this as soon as possible.

A number of people (particularly F10 M5 and M6s) have purchased the software and we are planning to overnight these cables to get faster feedback Our focus has been primarily on this model since this was my personal vehicle, but I am shifting full force to the F8x this week.

Also now have two F85 X5Ms here, will try to get videos up as time permits.

Want to apologize for slow replies to PMs and emails - haven't been able to answer many today but promise to give each and every one attention.

Please feel free to PM/Email/Call us with any questions. Thank you!

does this support custom flash tunes or is it only flashing between factory software's? if you do support custom tunes, what kind of numbers can we expect (stage2/3)?


nvm found all the info on your site xD

100% custom.

We are only offering stock variations for those who wish to retain "stock" software that didn't officially come with their vehicle due to a package/option/or edition that was not part of their original build.

Gains are dependent on the model/platform. The M5/M6 are the largest gainers - we've seen 200+ HP gains on these models dependent on the configuration and fuel.

Cha-ching, congrats Mike!

Well deserved success!

nice! am I able to control and monitor diff flashes or would I need to go through you guys every time? also do you support 91octane + e85 tunes?

[M-Pilot]

I'm not interested in Stage 1 or 2 high HP/Lb-ft figures. Would you be able to flash the exact M4 CS file (not sure if you have it already) to a ZCP (or Non-ZCP)?

[bimmer456]

It says 2017 BXX motor what about 2016 BXX motor? These are essentially the same. Would imagine it is only for N55 for now.

Will all the bm3 features likely be included in the new OBDII flash?
Gts tcu included?

BPM is legend. Extremely established in e9x. I can speak first hand Mike Benvo is a guru and was super instrumental in my v8 1er build not just in tuning but in doing hard coding to get everything working right as it should. I needed an expert coder to tackle a difficult project with my car. A typical 'copy-paste' coder wouldn't do. Mike Benvo was not only up to the task skillwise but he was super enthusiastic for the challenge. He really knows his stuff.

I haven't worked with VF and my praise for BPM is at at no expense to them. But having worked with BPM in person I can in full confidence recommend his service and skills. He has done over half a dozen of my friends' e9x m3s and a friends f10.

Pricing for cable and tune for an F30 please

[///3dkn]

Oh snap! I've been waiting for this from BPM.

[JMD]

Just wondering,....what's the number of available tunes?

For instance:

1 - Tune 0 (BMW stock) = Tune560Hp
2 - Tune 1 (BMP) = BMP Tune600Hp
3 - Tune 2 (BMP) = BMP Tune650Hp
4 - Tune 3 (BMP) = BMP Tune700Hp

Also, if one pays for say,...the BMP 700Hp,...do they also have access to the lesser BMP Hp tunes at no cost?

Edit: How those the "M1 and M2" buttons affected by the tuning! I suppose one couldn't have a stock running vehicle with no "M1",...or "M2" active! But, have one configuration for M1,...and another for M2! Now this would be crazy awesome!

Same here if I could have the CS file written I'd go for it.

I have an e-net cable, do I still need to purchase the special one from you and have it shipped to me?

[ssabripo]

Mike, I sent you a couple of PMs...please check and reply back

Awesome. I will probably spring for this sometime in March!

Can you please clarify this? I'm interested also, thanks

Hopefully this clarifies:

For instance: (We all know that the base stock tune is Tune 0,...as in there are no changes to the "stock" tuning coded by BMW! That would be represented in #1.

1 - Tune 0 (BMW stock) = Tune560Hp
2 - Tune 1 (BMP) = BMP Tune600Hp
3 - Tune 2 (BMP) = BMP Tune650Hp
4 - Tune 3 (BMP) = BMP Tune700Hp

...as for #2, #3, and #4,...I'm asking BMP have they coded numerous Hp tunes and the buyer can select which Hp desired, etc. Also, essentially, if one has paid for the 700Hp Tune,...and there are per se' 600Hp,..650Hp Tunes available,..then perhaps if one were to buy the 700Hp Tune,..the lesser Hp Tunes would be automatically included in the purchase. This would allow one to run 1 of 3,...or 4 tunes as desired,...depending on which they wanted to upload on a given Saturday morning,...or while at the track.

But more important,...what does one gets when selecting "M1" or "M2" Mode?. Currently, as you already know,..there is a difference in the motor's response depending on how one's M1 or M2 button is configured!

Yes, this shouldn't be an issue.

Fixed the post - you are correct - for Non-M 6 Cylinders, the N55 is supported but not any of the Bxx. Thanks for pointing that out!

Thank you very much, it was a pleasure working with you on all of your awesome builds!

Shouldn't be an issue at all. Anyone local to LA - please contact us and let's make this happen - will be extra generous to the first car that comes in for this. Those who want to purchase it now - go ahead, and if there are any issues we can simply restore the vehicle back and refund - very unlikely but always good to have a contingency plan!

Yes, our cable/software solution does not program the vehicle via Ethernet - so an ENET cable will not work.

Sorry for the slow reply - working on them and everyone should expect replies shortly!

As far as power levels - normally we make the software to your spec and if something changes you can request that new software be calibrated to a new specification. M Modes will continue to function as they do now - with all of the differentiations between them.

Thanks everyone!

Quite like the idea of getting BMW software version updates as part of the flashing process.

Also keen for a CS style flash for the M4 ZCP too.

Sub'd for more info.

We have cars scheduled for tomorrow morning. Purposely scheduled a 2015 Base Model. Time to transform it into the ZCP and CS it never was, and then Stage I and II. Stay "tuned"

This is very interesting as previous attempts to flash a GTS/CP DME firmware or otherwise onto a plain M resulted in a civic M... GL So either people somehow bypassed the FSC enabling codes but doubtful anyone outside BMW can generate an CP or CS FSC code...

You are correct - we dealt with this restriction turning non Comp pack M5/M6 vehicles into Comp Pack vehicles. If you try to just load the software without addressing this concern, you will essentially disable the turbo(s) completely and the car will be far slower than a civic. The same mechanism applies to the M3/M4 so I am confident that many non ZCP cars will evolve into something more exciting as we've reverse engineered this years ago

If I have time tonight - I will demonstrate turning our F10 M5 into a special 600HP BMW edition, but need to focus on replying to requests first.
