It’s according to bend themselves that EU5s are not ideal to run on bootmod because they lack tables that help support for it. Bend themselves are who recommended ecutek to me despite being able to tune on both platforms; they themselves admit that they could not deliver to me an identical tune on bootmod. Sure, it would probably be better than Cary Jordan’s garbage tune that took 10 revisions and would never run properly, but it would still be inferior to ecutek with them. And you said in the beginning of your previous comment that Bend had “zero results in the real world” so I’m just giving you a much-needed reality check. It’s funny that someone like you is so in love with bm3 that you put it as your profile picture. Almost makes it seem like you have extra reasons to be biased towards bm3 |

As I said, no need to take my word or your tuner’s word for it. Look for yourself. Senseless to argue facts all too easily cross checked. My bias comes from direct experience and years with this unlike yours who takes someone else’s word for it and spreads misinformation on such easily verifiable details. You probably also believe earth is flat.

I'd say what ever solution works for people, let it be. There's a reason why multiple tools exist. No need to argue who is "better"... it's all based on budget and build style for each person.
That said, I love bm3 but as someone who is going to flex fuel with bend as a complete solution (tune + kit) I'd want a tune that preserves the engine the most...if it's through ecutek then so be it. As long I can run 0 to 100 ethanol at any time, safely, I'm all for it. |

I flashed back to BM3 for the time being.
The MHD OTS Stage 2+ maps really suck. They are fast, but nothing as refined as my BM3 Cary Jordan tune. The MHD OTS map throttle in Sport+ is SUPER twitchy and throttle in Sport has no response at all. It's a really weird feeling and it feels like ass honestly. Still waiting for Bend to sort me out on MHD as that would be ideal. Otherwise, ECUTEK it is.

The throttle tip in when on sports+ on the stage 2+ (e30-50 ish blend here) it’s like it goes from 0%-10% and it isn’t refined at all even when trying to modulate it with your foot at low speeds it’s very apparent. Hoping Ian can sort you out without having to swap to ECUTek as I too would like to save on not having to license swap platforms but if it’s for the best for them to do their job then that’s priority. BM3 in their latest update though does seem more refined this coming from another fellow software engineer but does concern me a bit with hearing how OTS / custom tunes on the platform were regarding idle etc. Subbing to see how things pan out and slaughter.mode if there were additional changes made also to sort out the rough idle. Not sure if recent weather on your end might be affecting it as we know higher E blends are a bit harder on engines when the air is more dense outside. |

I feel like these companies purposely handicap the OTS maps to create a market for custom tuners lol

As far as throttle effort, the Bend tune is the best from what I've tried. They even have an option on your initial questionnaire to select if whether or not you want their anti kangaroo feature added or not. I added it because I'm really over the deliberate pedal modulation effort I've had to do for years. Now, it's super easy to manage even in full torque mode / map 2.

That's interesting. I always kind of figured why would they since the license for the software is where their revenue ends but if they're taking a slice of custom tunes, yeah I can see that. From what I see the bulk of the market is kids who want poops and bangs maybe flame tunes and some minor improvements. The more bespoke tuning is common but not nearly as much. But I live in California, lots of ricers out here.

Curious to hear what MHD’s reply is in regards to it. slaughter.mode that’s an interesting point that the Cary tune was for a static e85, I’m assuming your current is a flex fuel based one where your blend is now a variable and isn’t a constant in this case leaves room to iron out for the weather changes since we tend to log in ideal conditions of course. Anti kangaroo, what an interesting name for a feature. 🙂 The map sounds well sorted out though from what I’ve been reading, I finally feel motivated to dealing with a custom tune and not going thorough the wringer to find great results. |

Share your 60-130 time? Let’s see what your bootmod could do. Or is the budget limited because your salary from protuningfreaks doesn’t cover all the mods you want? |

Got a response from MHD.
They'll work on improving the throttle mapping in the next map revision.

Well, well. Looks like the Bend tune as great as it's been isn't perfect. Sadly on a weekend when their tuners are busy and haven't gotten back to me in 4-5 days. Today while running errands the car died 4 times. It even threw a CEL right as I was getting back home. Even worse, BM3 can't read 'DTC' codes and it's a bug they are working on and know about. Thankfully MHD saved the day and was able to read the codes.
118502 - Mixture control 2: Fuel-air mixture too rich, large deviation. 11CF31 - Mixture control 2: Multiple fault. 190F03 unknown (lol) 1E5A20 - Engine torque limit: maximum target torque permanently exceeded. Hoping Bend has a response soon. Car isn't even drivable at this point without risking stalling and being jammed up on the road.

Yeah they're busy, it happens. I'm just stuck and have two options. 1, flash back to stock and go back to MHD and load my Jordan/Wedge tune or wait for them to fix it. It is my grocery getter so I am hoping on the latter but I have things to do so we shall see. Blending down to a known mixture that works isn't a good idea since they have some adjustments to make.

I am starting to think it has to do with my sensors. Despite having a new engine, all my sensors are about 113K miles old. I read somewhere it's a good idea to swap the O2 sensors every 100k. I may just go ahead and order a set of those, question is to get BMW OEM or the Bosch ones for 1/2 the price. Can't hurt. May also consider getting new downpipes. A little over the AA cat-less ones since they rattle so much when cold or when valves are closed. Thinking of swapping to the ARM resonated ones. Will talk it over with my tuners and get their feedback.

For the people with issues what intakes are you running? I noticed that I got and still have similar behavior when switching to SSR intakes on BM3 OTS S2 e30 and 93. Shaky idle at startup that smooths out after a few mins.
