BPM Fxx M3/M4 OBD-II Port Flashing for End Users - Official Release - Available NOW!

[seattle0099]

Hi

I'm looking to get CS package for my stock m4. Just wondering:
1. if this mapping is from OEM m3/4 cs map or it is just a tune to match m3/4 cs performance.
2. What the benefit to flash the DCT transmission software
3. Is the 15% discount still going?
Thanks.

No, we have tuned many M3/M4 on the latest software release, as well as many M2 Comp vehicles that also share the newer bootloader. We were aware of this planned software change months before it was rolled out. We have heard of many other platforms that have failed flashing these latest versions and have recovered a number of cars flashed with other systems that were unsuccessful.

1. Exact OEM mapping - although non performance related changes are made to the software to make it compatible with a non factory CS.
2. DCT software improves not only daily drivability and smoothness but is also better matched for the upgraded power when driving more aggressively. It is a very welcomed and noticeable operational difference.
3. Shoot us a PM/Email or Website Support Ticket and we'll reply with current promotions we can offer.

Thanks!

You may be the only one.

I just received my 2020 M2 Competition with BMW's latest software. I'll order your BPMFlash now If you back it up with a full refund in case it doesn't work out with the latest software!

Order away...

Shoot us a PM with your VIN, we can pull your software level and version from the factory, flash it on one of our ECUs here and test it beforehand if you like.

Should be able to test be end of week. Need to finish up about 15 tunes today and tomorrow, holiday weekend put us a day behind

Should I get the cs or gts flash and why?

Been in contact with super helpful and transparent Mike-I'm a noob trying to decide between a cs and gts flash on a base, no mods 2018 f80 DCT. The cs flash is +28hp/+37ft/lbs; the gts is +55hp/+37ft/lbs. Both are the same price, and Mike likes both the same.

At first I was all about the the cs as it seemed safer somehow. But as I continue to ponder, I figure I'm already risking being flagged if something goes wrong, might as well take 27 extra ponies. All comments greatly appreciated-thank you!

I was in the same boat as you, and decided to go with the CS tune. I figured it's safer since the GTS has additional cooling, but more importantly the car already struggles with traction and has more than enough power for the street.

And btw, I cannot express how awesome and helpful Mike has been. Plus it's great to see his dedication to our platform as some tuners vanish as soon as newer platforms are released.

I was under the impression that BPM was going to make it possible to have various tune files available for their customers (i.e. CS, Stage 1, etc) but it would have taken time because they were making them with different options or something like that (i.e. cold start on/off, flaps OEM/always open, CEL correction for downpipes yes/no, etc)

If that is still the case then the decision on which one you choose first should be less of a concern.

But not much activity regarding that has been posted in a while.

If there is something you would like to change, feel free to reach out to us and we'll get you sorted.

Sorry for the slow updates, we've been working on a number of projects including the S55 Powered E30, Harrop Stage II calibrations, and G series vehicles. Had the pleasure of tuning a beautiful CS today in Colorado that will be attending shift sector tomorrow

Hi all, I already reached out to BPM so waiting for their reply. Right now I think I'm stuck. After flashing my F80 M3 and currently at the step to write the coding data to my DME from the Diagnostics menu. I was presented with an error called "File invalid length" and cannot proceed from there. So I decided to turn my car's ignition off and wait for the mean time. After turning off the ignition I heard something whining in my car (fuel pump?) and had a mini panic attack. Maybe I did something wrong but I hope I did not brick my car's DME....anyways hopefully someone here can help me out.

Update:
Problem solved. I was erroneously trying to use my tune to program instead of my original coding data. Car works fine with Sport+ auto rev match enabled!

[Boostin FD]

Just curious, what kind of options are there for a GTS? Is there anything “extra” that can be gained on this model?

Thanks

Definitely, GTS is actually a better candidate for Stage I or Stage II as we further utilize the factory water injection system to keep temperatures in check.

New version of the application was uploaded yesterday good through 2020. Current customers please use the original link supplied to download the latest version. Thank you!

Do you have more info on any power gains for the GTS? I'd love to learn more about it.

Thanks!

[jaddie]

BPMSport You say that you have done so many cars including ones with the newer software and bootloader. What was the HWEL of the DME2 in the cars?

Honestly, I think their claim of that they tuned cars with the new software is not true. We haven't seen any solid evidence yet to back it up

All options above will contain rev matching in Sport+ for 6MT unless you request otherwise.

More to come,

Thanks all!

BPMSport It's also available OTS CP MAP ?
Tnx in advance.

Power gains are listed on our site, if you'd like any specific information please feel free to call, PM or email us. The specs of the GTS software are in line with the factory GTS calibration.
