BM3 stage 1 e30

Just wanted to share a problem i've been having after i flashed stage 1 e30 bm3 ots map on my 2020 m5. Car works great can definitely feel the power in gears 1-5. When you shift into 6th gear and onwards the gas pedal becomes literally unresponsive. Rpms don't shoot up and car just starts rolling as if it's in neutral but you can't even rev it while in 6th. Tried flashing back to stock and re flashing but problem still exists. My tank is filled with the e30 mix so will try to burn it then flash to stock and drive on stock and see if problem exists.

Since the problem occurs on stock flash, it does not sound like a problem with bm3.

Its either the car of the fuel mix. You are on the right track, try stock map with 91/93 octane and let us know if it goes away

Should you run upgraded injectors when running E30 or any other fuel?

I ran a FlexFuel Kit on my C63 so I can use E85 and I had to upgrade my injectors to 500cc injectors. This kit includes the necessary adapters for the injectors.

My question is, is it safe to run throw in E30 or E85 in the car without any other modifications?

it's safe to throw an e30 mix even up to e50 mix in these cars. The stock fuel parts can handle it

I ran stage 1 e30 no problem. Very happy with stage 2 93. The agg map is straight up dropping bombs with my resonator delete. Anyone know how much more psi is stage 2 e30 running?

Glad u got the issue fixed. I'm running e38 right now with Eurocharged Stage 1 tune with some exhaust mods. Will be changing secondary cat soon. Would love to know if e50 is possible in our cars or what's the safest blend to run. Thanks

my car also will completely shut off (like engine not running, have to restart) under heavy throttle with the BMW Stage 2 E30 tune. Went back to Stage 1 93 and all is good. They need to roll out whatever changes they made for your car to everyone, no updates for the files are showing on my devices.

Can anyone running bootmod3 stage 2 confirm that Their sport meter in the car goes pass 600hp? I cant get my meter to go pass 600hp no matter what I do. But on a side note I walked a hellcat on a few good runs.
