It hurts waiting for this. Only reason Im waiting around is the weather sucks. Once the weather gets nice and still no release I think I got to just move on. I get it they want to release best possible product but man this wait sucks.

100% agree with you . This is taking way too long . They are slacking way too much on this platform. B58 platform got done very quickly and we were left off

No worries though as I'm enjoying the tunes I have now and it's raining for 10 days. Would like to know when it's verified to be working on 2020's though.

Although its nice I can't use it as JB4 controls meth and uses up the OBD so I use JB4 for logging. Hoping 2020 come at some point here soon

Yea thats true although Terry has always made a firmware where it allows for JB4 to spray meth without holding up the OBD port he does for other engines.

The extra goodies with new BM3 datalogging is now being able to log each ECU individually where no other tool or piggyback can (jb4 only logs 3 cylinders btw).

They used my 2020 M5 for testing as I was local to them in Toronto.
It is completely different from 18-19s. Everything works fine but it's the OBD flashing that would need some time.
They have taken my car software readout and whatever was necessary and will be working on it.
Unfortunately they can't give a time frame as these things can be complicated and need to perfect before releasing it.

I wish you would work with DME and Evolve to load their tunes into BM3. Evolve is not available, and DME when loaded through BM3 always sends me a CEL on their stage 2 file (but not on other tuning tools)

Then I could really use BM3 to toggle between my flashes and to log

I have used a lot of tuners/ tuning platforms in the last 15 years ranging from old school EEPROM burns to ProEFI and Syvecs full standalone ECUs.

Things that brought me back to BM3 second time around:

Internal Logging - anyone who's custom remote tuned before knows logging is a PITA. you go out do a pull, connect to the device, pull the log, email the log to tuner, wait for revision. in BM3 you just double click to start and double click to stop and the log sits on the cloud and can be viewed by you and your tuner or shared with car buddies via link. Viewing/ Trimming the logs is very easy and clean too, can be done on computer or mobile. You click on the fields to show/hide them to make log easier to read.




after log is complete, you can label it to keep track of what it corresponds to, so that you can easily go back and compare to previous ones.



Fast Flashing - the initial flash takes about 5-6 minutes all in because it has to do the ECU unlocks and there are 2 ECUs in this car. The subsequent map change flashes take 2-3 minutes, again dual ECUs. Both are fast, so changing between 93 and E30 is quick at a gas station.

Below you can see all the maps I have tested for Pump gas for example. They are all available for me to flash unless deleted.



OBD WiFi Agent - this feature is awesome. Allows to log and flash using my cell phone, without needing a laptop. A good thing for someone looking to jump back and forth between pump and race fuel maps. Lately I have only been using this to log and flash.



User Adjustments - I haven't played with this in the M5 yet, but I used to in my M3. I would go in the settings and easily turn boost down in 1st and 2nd gears in the winter time for better traction. Things like turning cold start on and off are easy to do also.

I've had the M5 for about 2 months now and the best i got out of stock was a 10.84@127.5 MPH at the track with a crazy fast 1.59 60ft. Best It would do on the street was 11.1 with passenger 11.0 without around 125-126 MPH. The rest of my testing was done on the street. I have done stock, stage 1 93, stage 1 E30 and stage 2 E30 with catless primaries and secondaries.







So 10.45 @ 134.8 MPH and a 60-130 of 6.82 was the best I was able to get on completely stock hardware and just tune changes. It's cold up here so I was struggling with consistency on launching the car, sometimes it would work, sometimes it it would just shut the lc down form wheel spin. I swapped the summers out for Michelin AS3+ 285/35/20 all around and now I'm cutting consistent 1.62 - 1.65 60fts in the cold. I also swapped all 4 downpipes to ER catless ones. I was originally only going to do the primaries, but after talking to several guys it seemed like all the faster cars had all 4 done. My friend had a set of lowers, so I bought them from him and put them on last weekend. The job took me about 5.5 hours, but doing it again I think I could do it in 3.5-4 hours.










And the result is new PB of 10.21 @136.xx and new 60-130 PB of 6.49, 0-60MPH in 2.56 with no roll out and 2.37 with 1-ft rollout which is how the magazines time these.








Now were are still in the process of finalizing the stage 2 tune, I am hoping to maybe see 10.1x from it and low 6s 60-130.

1/24/2020 UPDATE: Slight improvement to 60-130 on V2 E30 Beta file
What are the tune differences between the Stage 1 93 and Stage 1 E30 ? Increased boost, increased timing or both ?

A lot people waited for it, finally when it released there are almost no info about gains, times and etc. Only what you can find is info about maps with e30, but who is making "cocktails" for daily? 🤦🏼*♂️

Any updated for those running the BM3 on their f90's M5's? Also does anyone know of BM3 for the F90's allow adjustability for burble editing similar to the F80 had? Would like to know if I can disable, also can cold start be removed as well?
