BMW Fxx/Gxx B58 OBD Flashing is now supported by mFlasher

We are happy to announce that after months of improving OBD flashing capability of our in-house tool, mFlasher, we are ready to publicly release this option for all of our customers. We had ability to flash the MG1 computers over OBD since later 2017, but initial flash took a long time, upwards of 1 hour, making it a non-viable solution for "Do It At Home" customers. Now, after countless hours of development, burnt computers and a lot of coffee, we can perform initial unlock on ALL MG1 computers within 5 minutes. After the initial unlock, all subsequent flashes take only 1 minute.

Another reason we had to delay the tool release was due to the fact that California smog systems were getting early 2018 updates that resulted in any modified computer to fail smog. That was a major setback, so we had to go back to drawing board and postpone the release until a solution could be found. Now, with our latest mFlasher release, this is no longer an issue.

We will have dyno graphs posted very soon for all of you, but expect G30 to receive very similar treatment as did the F10 family. Full burnout mode, burble, safe levels of torque, sport gauge calibration, map sensor upgrades and so on. The modified file will be undetectable by BMW, thanks to our mBoot option and its ability to freeze the Flash Counter in time.


For all of you Apple users out there. We realize that mFlasher has been a hard tool for you to use since it requires an actual windows laptop. This for sure has caused some un-needed hustle trying to get one just to flash your car. This is why we are in finishing stages of releasing our iOS app for iPhone. During initial release, this app will allow flashing your vehicles right from your iPhone. With the following updates, you will be able to datalog, diagnose and perform many more cool functions right from your phone.


Some quick videos of the tool in action (sorry for grainy quality):

Perform full restore and re-lock the computer:

No interest for G30 owners? Only F3X?

It is interesting, but any tuners will have good and stable tune for it?

Oops, it is actually tuner...

I actually have 2 question about your tune:
- Why your low RPM torque is so low, it's even lower than stock?
- Can you flash with tune from MPPSK?

First question is very important, it is very strange situation, IMHO something is fighting with your tune. I mean it looks like something like ignition angle retraction and/or extremely lean condition. Do you actually increasing fuel table? I had number of tunes in past from diff companies and this is first time when I see torque decrease in low RPM range compare to stock. Something is definitely wrong with your tune in my opinion if that is not done deliberately(if it is than why). I personally looking(next year, not right now) for increase in power/torque in low RPM side to 3-4k...
About tune from MPPSK my 540xi should handle this just fine without exhaust upgrade, because mid pipe on 540 is much bigger than 140 and 340 and rear muffler bigger as well. There should be not too much resistance at 540, MPPSK not changing mid pipe, only muffler to create this sound(which I don't like and this mostly why I didn't ordered it along with car)...

Any updates on the M550i work? How so do you think before it hits the market? Thanks.
