This map update improves overall drivability.

Throttle closures have been taken care of in the midrange through changes to boost control.


Burble on the AGG OTS maps have been changed which is also a part of improving the drivability on these AGG OTS maps.June 17, 2024:

B48-T0 OTS update:

B58-T0-D OTS map update:

This new update includes a remake of the boost control and burble configuration.

Boost control has been changed so boost reaches its target quicker than the previous OTS map versions. Moreover, boost is kept close to its target all the way to redline resulting in a slight power increase.

Burble configuration has been redone to work on non mild-hybrid and mild-hybrid software versions. 


September 28, 2023:

S58-1 MultiMap OTS map update:

This new update brings more power for users utilizing a flexfuel sensor on their S58-1. Moreover, maximum power is now achieved at 50% ethanol to prevent HPFP from crashing at high ethanol contents.

Moreover, users who had OPF cars experienced a load limitation at higher RPM, this has now been lifted to match the OTS map load limit targets.


Version 1.1, September 29 2023:
- OPF load limitation lifted
- FlexFuel fully revised
- Higher FlexFuel ignition timing targets


August 22, 2023:


GEN2 B58 OTS map update

Various changes have been done to our new OTS maps for the B58 gen2.

This includes the intercooler pump is more active over stock, vanos changes to provide more power in the midrange and topend.

Burble activation has been fixed for mild hybrid cars, due to newly introduced limiters and activation switches for the mild hybrid cars, this was not present in our old version of OTS maps.

Moreover, a boost pressure plausability code would show up on mild hybrid cars as well, this has now been addressed.


Map notes:


- Vanos optimised
- Torque limitation fix
- Burble fixed for mild hybrid
- Boost pressure plausability fix

S58 CustomROM Release

S58 CustomROM support is Now Available !





























Over the past year we've worked tirelessly to build significant automation that would allow us to port our CustomROM features across software updates as they get released for vehicles we support. We applied it to the S58 and managed to add support for all 8 S58 software versions including all G8x M3/M4 and G9x X3M/X4M.





























FlexFuel, AntiLag, MapSwitching, LiveAdjust Tuning, In-Dash Ethanol Content Check, and close to 5000 tuning tables available in the bm3 Map Editor.





























🔸Any new OTS Maps available?














Two new MultiMap OTS maps, Stage 1 and a Stage 2. Each MultiMap contains 4 steering wheel switchable map slots. FlexFuel and Antilag are built into all of them and scale from 0 to 100% ethanol.





























🔸Can I get this if my DME is currently LOCKED and requires a FEMTO Unlock?














Yes. You need to purchase a BM3 license, activate your bootmod3 software license, and then send your DME to Femto. We provided Femto with means to load BM3 CustomROM software along with our Transmission Limiter Bypass. Once you get your DME back from Femto, it'll have the BM3 CustomROM on it with their unlock.





























🔸Can I get this if my DME is Femto UNLOCKED?














Unfortunately, due to specifics around the Femto unlock, you will need to have your DME resent to Femto for CustomROM software to be applied along side their unlock. Your DME would lose its Femto unlock if we allowed a full flash of the software to be done. If you were to flash the MultiMap without resending it to Femto, you will simply have MultiMap's map1 power available and no CustomROM features.





























🔸Do I need to clone my DME for this?














No.





























🔸Can I get this if my DME is OBD or Bench unlocked (older X3M/X4M)?














Yes, flash away.





























🔸Is there an S58 Flex Fuel hardware kit?














Our S58-specific Flex Fuel kit hardware is on the way so be on the lookout! Any other flex fuel kit based on the off the shelf Zeitronix ECA2 CANBUS controller can also be used. In the meantime, you can use the LiveAdjust screen in the app to scale your ethanol content on demand.

ROMs Supported:
F4C9G577B
F4C9G595B

July 3, 2020:

S58 OTS map version 2.4 is out!

After gathering tons of datalogging from users across the world, even more improvements were found, applied and tested 

These findings resulted in a smoother boost curve at high engine speed allowing for a more clean ignition timing curve thus more efficient power, especially on stage 1 cars with stock hardware.

Furthermore, burble is now working better for cars with particulate filter (OPF).Version 2.4, July 3 2020:














- Boost taper at high RPM fixed














- Unstable wgdc at high RPM fixed














- Burble activation for OPF cars


May 10, 2020:
B58-G Stage 2+ OTS maps now available!

The stock turbo can flow on the B58, but the limitation is the HPFP, with the B58TU HPFP or Dorch Engineering HPFP you can unleash the true beast of your B58!

Boost pressure is around 20 psi

Required hardware:

- High flow downpipe

- Upgraded fuel pump (Dorch Engineering or B58TU fuel pump)

*** AFTERMARKET HPFP MUST BE SET IN THE CONFIG ***

- OEM BMW B58TU Fuel pump part # 13518631642 - This fuel pump is plug and play, Map Configuration should be left unchanged or set to OEM

- If using the Dorch Fuel pump, Map Configuration for the HPFP should be set to DORCH

We recommend XHP transmission flash to take advantage of the high torque


B58-G OTS map version 2.1 is now available!
Version 2.1, May 10 2020:
- Boost and load control changes

We spent a lot of time on boost and load control on this Version 2.1

Slightly powerincrease on the topend.

Some users would experience overboost in the lower RPM range causing a midrange to drop slightly in power.

This should now be resolved.

B48 F series hybrid OTS map update - Version 2.0 is now available!
ACN91 and E30 Stage 1 and Stage 2 OTS maps has also been added

New boost and load control, making spool faster and throttle wide open!
