About the “voiding of warranty”. I have had 2 cars that I flashed with Bootmod3 a 2018 M2 and a 2018 340i. On the M2 I had mechanical upgrades like intercooler, complete turbo hard piping, down pipe with cat and the bootmod3 flash and took it to the dealer for years for maintenance, oil changes, brakes etc and they never said anything about anything because truly they don’t care. HOWEVER if you have mechanical issues or drive train malfunctions they will 100% try and blame your mods or flash for this. The 340i was a lease and no mechanical upgrades flashed it back to stock when I turned it in and nothing they were more worried about a stupid little scratch that I couldn’t even see unless the sun hit it just right, but they actually don’t check for a flash.
That’s amazing results! I noticed right away how fast it ran through 1st and 2nd gears. From my experience though, it’s going to get faster as it learns when you get some miles on it!
Thanks for making these videos. They're informative and cinematic. I have a 2021 740i. My wife has the X3. I have found that BMW has no aftermarket parts or allows you to make too many changes. I have added some coding to allow the boot to open and close with the fob and the interior release button. I'm looking to add the extra horsepower and get improve the brakes. BMW is notorious for brake dust and I would like to use different pads. Any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated.
Great video. Though I don't know if anyone mentioned or realizes it, if the car is still under warranty, a flash tune will void the power train warranty. As soon as a tech at a BMW dealership connects the car to the computer, it will set a red flag and the dealership along with BMW corporate will know it's been tuned. But I know some people don't care about the warranty.
Were any mods done on the X7 prior to the flash? I want to try this with my stock 540i MSport but curious if I should upgrade the charge pipe to do the same stage 1/91 octane map from the vid.
In general I would say that’s correct. I have a 2014 RWD 320i. I also had Keis put in aftermarket intake, charge pipe, and intercooler since I don’t trust BMW plastic after 5 years. Net result has been 0-60 from 7 secs according to press releases to a 5.38 pull. I think stock 2014 328s are mid 6s according to press. Would love to see how that improves.
So I’m assuming that as soon as you start flashing the warranty on the vehicle is voided ? Even if you were to put the stock map back on before you took it to BMW they would know it has been altered. Anyone have experience of this ?
Swear I saw a video where Kies made a new adapter that plugs right into the obd port and uses wifi/ Bluetooth so you don't have to use an ethernet cable and will work with both Apple/Android... Now I can't find it or the adopter on there website
Every time I think I have made my mind up I change it again. Cannot decide between bootmod3 or mhd. What do you guys think of mhd and would you consider doing a comparison. Keep up the good work.
I know the answer is probably going to be no, but I thought it was worth a shot. would BootMod3 work on my N57 engine or my B47 engine? I know there’s not much diesel tuning out there especially for BMW’s.
Hey Brian, awesome vid!!! I have a F80 M3 Comp and it’s is stock. If I use just a stage 1 botmod3 or what ever the starting point is do I need to upgrade the OEM crank hub? Would love your opinion thanks 🙏
Yes. the MPPSK is a very conservative tune. In fact it's essentially the difference between an M-Performance model and regular car. For example the 335i and the M235i have essentially the same n55 engine (with some internal changes) but the difference in HP was due to the factory tune (About 20HP). BM3 will significantly increase HP with supporting mods.
Absolutely yes.. moving through the S1 then S2 (if you have supporting mods) is night and day differences. I took my F32 N55 to 445whp, and current M2C S55 at 505whp with the OTS S2 map. It makes a HUGE difference.
So I know previously it may have been only possible with JUST a computer, but to clarify, can I buy the Enet adapter, bm3 license, and do the whole process with just the phone and the app?
What’s the difference between this and JB4 are they basically the same thing ? Or can I put boot mode on my car even though I already put a JB4 on there?
So if I were to have the basic license and use a stg1 93 map but then wanted more power later I'd have to pay for the stg2 93 map even though they're both OTS?
Am i able to check if my dme is locked before i buy the bootmod3 license? Like can i check using the bootmod3 app with the obd-ethernet-lightning cable? Thanks
I have a 2016 x5 F15, tried bootmod3 this morning and failed a 1%. Now I can't start my car engine.. getting the warnings on the iDrive say; Drivetrain malfunction Chassis stabilization 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Technically bootmod3 does yes, but its up to your dealer really if they "find it" and choose to go down that path, but then they have lost revenue from big corporate, so if your not making a rice rocket your odds are better, but its best to assume doing this voids your warranty so you are not caught off guard or surprised by it.
Dumb question... Does the BootMod3 tunes adapt to lower quality fuel? Let's say if I only have 87 or 89 available. Will it know the crap out of the engine or adapt and pull timing to avoid knock? I'm aware that If I'm traveling and I get 87, I can go easy on the engine and in theory nothing will happen, but I'm asking if it'll be safe to use even if pushing it a bit. Thanks!
Bootmod3 will have tunes for your specific fuel quality off the shelf but from what I know they are typically 91 and 93 octane fuel, haven’t really seen 87 since it’s not recommended for any BMW that I’m aware of. But if you really need a tune for 87 you can get a custom tune but they can get quite expensive and I don’t think it would be worth it. At the end of the day if you can only pump 87/89 octane, i wouldn’t recommend getting a tune until you can get your hands on 91/93.

This man is so detailed in his videos and is so professional.
Please please please do more videos of your X7 !!! Mods, body upgrades, I have the same 2021 x7
No spy devices or GPS trackers on this car? That always makes it easier 😅
🤫
First here. Brian you are a BAD ASS!!! I have so much confidence to work on my 2015 M3 cause of your channel. Keep up the excellent content and videos
That’s amazing results! I noticed right away how fast it ran through 1st and 2nd gears. From my experience though, it’s going to get faster as it learns when you get some miles on it!

Thank you! I just asked this question.
You simply back up the old map and re-flash it before going to the stealership.
This is really tempting to do w/ my 340i. It's already crazy fast enough - I can't imagine how this would feel.
I raced a stock M4 with my stage 1 M3 and put buslengths on him. Do it, do it yesterday 😀
Love the b58 sound
Were any mods done on the X7 prior to the flash? I want to try this with my stock 540i MSport but curious if I should upgrade the charge pipe to do the same stage 1/91 octane map from the vid.
In the video he said the x7 is completely stock. 👍🏽
Gotta love how she quickly looks at the speed at 21:02.
Do you guys have engine mods for the G20 330i?
Only have a 320i x-drive (larger engine models are exponentially more expensive ) Considering tuning it so it maybe reaches about a 328
In general I would say that’s correct. I have a 2014 RWD 320i. I also had Keis put in aftermarket intake, charge pipe, and intercooler since I don’t trust BMW plastic after 5 years. Net result has been 0-60 from 7 secs according to press releases to a 5.38 pull. I think stock 2014 328s are mid 6s according to press. Would love to see how that improves.
Going full Thor lately!
Super fun! We need stage 2+ and new turbos now. Cant have a slow x7
I’m curious if you guys have any videos on performance gains on a B58 540i?
Is there a way to tell if the DME is locked before buying bootmod3?
Can you make a video going over the S55 and N55 anti lag feature
Gotta love when it's family approved. Haha👍🏽👍🏽
Do you guys unlock Dme for a 2022 x5 xdrive 40i I am in N.J. thnxx
Out of curiosity, if you tune a leased car and then revert it back at lease end, will there be any chance that the tune could be detected?
Super late response but yes it will. The computer will notice that at some point in time it was changed and reverted
So I’m assuming that as soon as you start flashing the warranty on the vehicle is voided ?
Even if you were to put the stock map back on before you took it to BMW they would know it has been altered. Anyone have experience of this ?
Swear I saw a video where Kies made a new adapter that plugs right into the obd port and uses wifi/ Bluetooth so you don't have to use an ethernet cable and will work with both Apple/Android... Now I can't find it or the adopter on there website
Why you never work on F10s ? N55
I'm trying to see if my 2021 M2 comp is flashable without removing the DME. Build date is 7/20 and I heard that was the cutoff last time I checked.
can I assume that this flash would void any warranty you have on the car? thanks.
Why not stage 2 91, did u need bolt mods for that? Nice video!
Kies motorsports you guys are amazing 👏
If you install this do you have to change anything in the engine ? To make it safe or is it safe fresh off the flash
Every time I think I have made my mind up I change it again. Cannot decide between bootmod3 or mhd. What do you guys think of mhd and would you consider doing a comparison. Keep up the good work.
What did you get?
Great video and explanations. What happens with fuel consumption when you flash Stage 1, for example?
Bootmod3 doesn’t work on 2021+ g20 m340i right?
I know the answer is probably going to be no, but I thought it was worth a shot. would BootMod3 work on my N57 engine or my B47 engine? I know there’s not much diesel tuning out there especially for BMW’s.
To adjust burbles and cold start do i need the bundle package or with the single one it will work?
Which tune do I need to do this to my 2015 535i?
The video I've been waiting for!
Does this work with diesel too?
Now code the X7 to turn on Sport Plus mode to have even more fun….😎
Hi, does it work on X2 M35i which has B48 engine?
I have a XB7 2022, can you help me with this kit?
what u use to time the car
Hey Brian, awesome vid!!!
I have a F80 M3 Comp and it’s is stock. If I use just a stage 1 botmod3 or what ever the starting point is do I need to upgrade the OEM crank hub? Would love your opinion thanks 🙏
Did you get an answers ?
Can you share settings?
How much is the stage 1 ? 1000$ ???
Bought bootmod3 tried to flash my f30 340i and the DME was locked. Still debating whether to get it unlocked or just sell bootmod3 ugh
I have a 2019 440 with MPPSK (which adds a factory tune) would i still gain enough with BootMod to make it worth it?
Yes. the MPPSK is a very conservative tune. In fact it's essentially the difference between an M-Performance model and regular car. For example the 335i and the M235i have essentially the same n55 engine (with some internal changes) but the difference in HP was due to the factory tune (About 20HP).

probably add 10%, noticeable yes, worth warranty killing, maybe not just yet.
@@JVR_Funwithdesign Do you think it's worth it for a 2018 430i? I've heard conflicting opinions.
Nice Improvements.
What do you think about the benefits on the N26/20 engines?
It’s great, I have a 228i pushing 320hp
So I know previously it may have been only possible with JUST a computer, but to clarify, can I buy the Enet adapter, bm3 license, and do the whole process with just the phone and the app?
What’s the difference between this and JB4 are they basically the same thing ? Or can I put boot mode on my car even though I already put a JB4 on there?
So if I were to have the basic license and use a stg1 93 map but then wanted more power later I'd have to pay for the stg2 93 map even though they're both OTS?
Will this MOD void the factory warranty?
Can you make a video on how to flash with your android phone. The 21+ ultra if possible.
Hey on your site. The bootmod3 for the b58 does not have the x7 40i listed. I would like to buy
Does it work with the SULEV motors?
how about N20 520i 2014
How to setting the burble for that x7 ?v
Does raise nullify a warranty?
Is there a way to do this offline? I just don't have wifi that reaches to my garage.
I have a 2016 428GC.... N26 engine. What type of HP gains can I get?
Also start doing 428's..... I leave like a redheaded stepchild lol 🤣
Does it kill your engine warranty?
Am i able to check if my dme is locked before i buy the bootmod3 license? Like can i check using the bootmod3 app with the obd-ethernet-lightning cable? Thanks
If you email us at info@kiesmotorsports.com, our team can assist
I have the slight feeling ur wife noticed 😂
can you do a tutorial for 340i/335i 🙏🏼
Same thing lol
Can we do it on the 2022 x5 40i ?
What if i have 318se will it work ?
Will this work on my 2022 BMW X5 40i?
Suspicion of engine tuning as per ista
Any word on 2021 m340i G20 tune yet???
Need one for the bmw x1 n20
On m2c doesnt work obd unlock...
All BMW cars are yours?
I have a 2016 x5 F15, tried bootmod3 this morning and failed a 1%. Now I can't start my car engine.. getting the warnings on the iDrive say; Drivetrain malfunction
Chassis stabilization
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
What was the solution to this??
Would the manufacturer be able to pick up it's been tuned?
Could it void your warranty
Most of the time yes, but if you revert to stock flash before you go to service some dealerships may not care but some may. Its a hit or miss tbh.
Does it invalidate your warranty in the States like it does in the UK?
Technically bootmod3 does yes, but its up to your dealer really if they "find it" and choose to go down that path, but then they have lost revenue from big corporate, so if your not making a rice rocket your odds are better, but its best to assume doing this voids your warranty so you are not caught off guard or surprised by it.
yep
no
I’m wondering the same thing Bc I wanna do it to my m340i
Yes
Do u guys ship international????????
Amazing content by the way!
Like the hair man.
Sadly not available for diesels...
Does it work on a X5M50d?
Yes
Dumb question... Does the BootMod3 tunes adapt to lower quality fuel? Let's say if I only have 87 or 89 available. Will it know the crap out of the engine or adapt and pull timing to avoid knock?
I'm aware that If I'm traveling and I get 87, I can go easy on the engine and in theory nothing will happen, but I'm asking if it'll be safe to use even if pushing it a bit.

Bootmod3 will have tunes for your specific fuel quality off the shelf but from what I know they are typically 91 and 93 octane fuel, haven’t really seen 87 since it’s not recommended for any BMW that I’m aware of. But if you really need a tune for 87 you can get a custom tune but they can get quite expensive and I don’t think it would be worth it.

Any one done a x5 m50d g05 2020 👀
If only you could flash any of the new bmw’s
Can you flash cars other than bmw? My brother has a Hyundai and I have a Nissan
If you own a BMW and anything goes wrong you know damn well they will void the hell out of your warranty with stuff like this
I didn’t get warranty so I’m good.
Now the real question is will it void my warranty 😂
Kies
How many likes would it take for you to cut your hair?
No brake pull??? You kept talking about how good of a 13 I'd be, why didn't you???
Sadly bmw that produce after 07/2020 cant get reflash 🥲
The newer bmws are bench lock so it’s not that easy lol
Dear Kids, does Flashing your car with BootMod3 void your warranty?
MHD is far better ;)
