I think right now best advise would be to contact Bob and ask him about his tunes at BM3 database. If he says they are same exactly as his benchflash ones - then it's the way to go. BM3 will allow you to flash new tunes (Stage 2 or others) if need be. The question is how much are BPC tunes for BM3. Also, I'll go soon and do a dyno run on Mustang dyno or Dynojet to get another view of BPC Stage 1 tune. My old dyno was done at Dynamic Dyno - which shows even less than Mustang. This time I want to do it on a more common dyno, so we can compare results better. P.S. Just wanted to mention, with BM3 when you go to choose BPC tune - I would contact Bob first and ask him to tweak the tune to my liking. I think custom tune is always better than OTS one. If I was to redo my tune, I would ask Bob to increase boost even more by 10% accordingly adjusting other values needed. I mean you can ask what you consider important for you - that's the beauty of custom tuning compared to set OTS one. |

As far as the hp & tq gauges changing... they did not; still 480 and 480. However, it pegs both gauges quickly. As before the most I'd see on the hp gauge is around 450. |

Have you swapped plugs or you are on stock plugs? Keep us posted if you will notice a shudder, jerkiness on WOT pulls. Several of us currently have this issue and we are trying to sort it out if it's plugs, TC (transfer case) or else (hpfp/injectors).

I actually had my plugs act up while I was still on RC (same exact symptoms as you mention above) and got it changed literally 2 days before my factory warranty expired 2 months ago. Dealer did comment about carbon build up. I have literally 50k KMS. Around the same sold racechip and moved to this. No issues yet. The initial oomph isn't as aggressive as RC but with the new plugs, no issues in the 100 mile + drive.

Any flash tune will produce more power then a piggyback.

Ya I figure the flash tune was better but I read this part......"The initial oomph isn't as aggressive as RC but with the new plugs, no issues in the 100 mile + drive"
I took that as it being better then the flash tune

I can understand the RC having more INITIAL bite (which is what I think he meant by initial) but yes the flash will have overall better results. At least it better for how much it costs. Lol

Haha almost twice as much money so I guess it would make sense to make almost twice as much power 50 vs 100hp, but I think the RC is a nice alternative to someone who doesn’t want to flash.

Ok another 50+ mile drive today.
Subjectively on setting E of RC I think where I used to be, I would get a great 0-20 or so and then it simmered down and afterwards more jerking and hard shifting. Great for red lights and merging. Will the BM3, it’s a nice and smooth, maybe 10-15% less aggressive in 0-20 (maybe it just feels that way) but an amazing 20-100. Amazing for highways and when there is a lot of slow and fast alternating traffic. No jerks yet. Also most of this is on eco-pro or comfort. Might be how the tune is designed and not a measure of the power increase. Or the new plugs. |

Just installed the BM3 stage 1 91 octane to my X5 50i. About to take it out and see what improvements I can feel. Had the BM3 stage 1 on my M4 and it was night and day different. Only thing they don’t have yet for the N63TU flash is burble configurations. I liked how I could totally adjust it on the M4, long/short loud/moderate etc, maybe this will be a feature down the road as it was a later feature for the S55 flash. My hp gauges went from 480 to 640 though.

Why did you get rid of the M4? I want to flash BM3 to my F83, but the crank hub failures have got me scared enough that I may never do it.
