BPMSport Stage I and Stage II E9x M3 Performance Tuning Software:

PLEASE CHECK THE LAST PAGE OF THE THREAD FOR THE DISCOUNT CODE

Price $899 - Stage I or Stage II, Including Cable, Support, and Tune to your specification. DCT software can also be added for $199

We accept VISA/MasterCard/American Express/Discover,PayPal, Check, Cashiers Check, Money Order, or Bank wire.

Some information on the tune can be found here:

We offer two tuning stages available for the E9x M3:

Stage I is for lightly modified vehicles without changes to the primary catalysts.
Stage II is tailored to vehicles that have changes to the primary cats - such as an Akra system, high flow cats, test pipe/catless, etc..

Updatability:
You have the option to upgrade from one Stage to another in the future if your plans for the car change. You won't have to purchase it again, you can pay the difference between the two stages.

Software Update to 240E:
At BPMSport, we like to base our files off of the latest BMW Factory Software. This way any improvements that have been made to the operating code by BMW Engineers are incorporated into your tuned software. Before flashing you with our performance software, we will update you to the latest software version available from BMW. You can elect to stay on your current software level, although we do recommend taking advantage of this update.

Both Stages of our Performance Tuning Software Include:
-Selective mapping of the throttle response in Sport mode
-Selective mapping of the throttle response in Normal mode
-Raised RPM Limiter (Nmax) to 8,500 or 8,600 RPM
-Removal of the Top Speed Limiter (Vmax)
-Vanos changes for increased smoothness, better drive-ability, and power
-Fueling and ignition timing changes suited to your modifications and octane
-Optimization of ECU Torque Management and Control Parameters
-Elimination of the Cold Start Routine (Makes the car smoother on cold starts)
-Cold start rev limit reduction (to keep your engine happy and prevent revving too high when cold).
-Launch Control Assist for 6MT vehicles (definable at 3,000 - 5,000 RPM)
-Burble Feature on Overrun

You may pick whichever features suit you and we will incorporate them into the software written for your vehicle.

You will experience smoother driveability, much better overall engine response, and performance increases in horsepower and torque, aside from the long list of other goodies.

All software does not tamper with emissions settings. Stage II Tunes and files with cold start disabled are for OFFROAD use only. Please contact us directly with any questions regarding emissions requirements.

The price of the tune includes the specially designed tuning cable. The software and cable are extremely easy to use, and we're happy to provide remote support over the computer or phone. Customer service and excellent products are our number one priority.

With the software, you will be able to:
-Easily flash the vehicle back to stock (this is not necessary when going to the dealer)
-Easily flash in tuned files from BPMSport + potential future updates
-Check your current installed software version
-Read and clear engine fault codes / service engine soon lights
-Check if the dealership reflashed your vehicle with stock software

Horsepower and torque gains are dependent on modifications, environmental conditions, and fuel quality. Our tune will safely extract what is left on the table. Unlike other companies that focus on full throttle only, our software has been carefully crafted to create an undeniably pleasurable driving experience in part throttle (which is where you spend most of your driving!). Having owned an M3 myself since 2008, quite a lot of research in development has gone into making this software exceptionally perfect for you

**RESERVED FOR QUESTIONS**

(1) My car has already been coded for certain things like LCI retrofit, mirror folding, efficient dynamics display, disable welcome sound, etc. Will your tune wipe these settings?

Flashing of the 240E update and the BPMSport Performance software will not overwrite or wipe any feature coding you had in the past. The vehicle will retain all previously coded features after the flashing.

(2) How does the 6MT launch control work?

Check out this video:

On a 6MT car, with the launch assist you floor the gas while at a standstill. The DME will hold the specified RPM that you requested to have programmed. You can then let the clutch out and feather the throttle to get off the line. As soon as the car starts rolling the full redline is available.

(3) Can you explain the difference between Sharper and Aggressive throttle response?

Normally we don't modify the throttle response maps. However, some customers request that the throttle be more responsive. The sharper throttle response option makes the throttle a bit more sensitive, and the aggressive option takes this a step further. If you are happy with the pedal sensitivity of the car in stock form, there is no need to change this option.

Questions and answers will be added here as they are received.

Thank you everyone and happy holidays.

Stage 1 please, how does packaging in coding work?

The tune is 100% transparent to the dealership computers, and they will not be able to tell that the vehicle is tuned. It allows for seamless integration with their factory systems for service and diagnostics as well. (Please note that BMW will be able to see raised RPM or Speed Limits, however, the dealer can not).

Will BMW always be able to see the raised RPM and speed limits even if I flash the car back to stock before taking it into the dealer? If I kept the OEM RPM and speed limits would BMW still be able to see the tune?

Thanks.

Yes, for RPM and top speed, even if you flash back to stock this remains recorded.

Other than that they will not be able to tell. Also remember that this is BMWNA/AG and not the dealership that can see this. My car has seen 8,800 multiple times with zero issues for warranty repairs/maintenance, etc. It has 46,xxx miles now and has had a raised limit for about 40,000 miles.

I would say that half of our clients elect to get the raise and the other half keep those two settings stock.

Thanks!

i'd like to know this as well. Also, what if we just wanted to 'rent' the cable and not own it?

The benefit of owning the cable is that you can revert to stock or reflash your map again, whenever needed. Like if the dealer does an update and wipes out your tune. That might not be very common, but I want to be able to reflash if needed. Plus, it sounds like if BMW releases a software version greater than 240E, we'll get the update for free.

I currently live in a place with 93 Octane, if I move to a place with only 91 Octane, will I have to pay for a new flash?

Any chance to get the double-clutch functionality of the e92 GT4 software into your tune, too?

What throttle mapping did this guy get? Sharper or Aggressive?

For those of you signed up, please shoot over the documents and info.

Thank you!

Unfortunately this isn't something I do remotely. Because the DCT module is located inside the transmission itself, I would only use my factory tools for the update versus the coding cable. The tuning cable only supports engine software so far.

For any of you in Seattle, I will be there from the 26th to the 30th if you want tuning or coding done locally :thumbsup:

Merry Christmas!!

I believe Ilya has either the stock throttle mapping or Sharper. Definitely not Aggressive. Very few have requested 'aggressive' and I prefer to modify throttle response as little as possible. That way you get full range of throttle position with your foot. I've always found Sport Plus to be overly aggressive from the factory.

No you will not. Only time a new flash is required is if there is a drastic change in octane available (such as requesting a 95 octane tune and running 91)

Thank you, added you to the list.

I will respond to the PM once I get to Seattle tomorrow and settled into hotel (if I don't have time before).

Member bmobile is driving down here from San Jose to get the tune tonight before I leave on my trip. So he'll have 5 hours driving back home to test it out!
