PTF BM3 Review

exia_m3 · 12-10-2016, 05:25 PM

Hey everyone,

Recently, got unlocked at ENZO Racing, 12/8/16.
Have been runing BM3 stage 2 on SSR intakes and Meisterschaft GT2 exhaust.
I can really feel the power going up to 120. The speedo just wants to keep moving all the way through. Trying to put a run with my coworkers stock 2016 M3, to see the difference. Since that might not happen I am going to see if I can schedule an appointment at my local dyno (mustang). If not might have to take a trip to NJ to see. It was a little overwhelming, but that was probably me being too excited and not really reading the instructions. With the help of FSociety who might of been one of the first on BM3 on the east coast! The level of service is excellent with proTUNING Freaks and my unlocker EnzoRacing. If anyone is local to Albany, NY or not too far from the area would like to see the difference let me know. I am very glad coming from the JB4 I had on my last vehicle super erratic and never being consistent. I can't wait to see the power

I'd like to see the difference! Let me know when you're available. I'm a little over an hour south of you but would be willing to meet up anywhere.

Try to find a dynojet to test it on instead! That way the dyno operator calibration is taken out of the equation for a more direct comparison between you car and others tested on dynojets throughout the country

Will try to find a dynojet then.

FSociety · 12-11-2016, 01:40 PM

Do it for the Dynojet! lol

Glad you are happy OP

exia_m3 · 12-12-2016, 03:02 PM

As of last night I flashed my TCU with the file that PTF provides on BM3 which is suppose to have more precise and faster shifts and maximizes clamping force by the clutches recommended for tuned S55 cars.
After talking with Dzenan and Halim, this is the OEM BMW M4 GTS file for the DCT

.
Will have a review up shortly just had a snow storm running on blizzaks lm32 hopefully can catch off the line

Get some JB4' F80 or even stock F80's for fun comparing

I'm a bit sick now but hopefully I'll drive up his way later in the week and we can have a stock snow tire versus BM3 snow tire pull. lol...

probably a really bad idea actually.

Yeh Poughkeepsie.
We'll have to find a good spot. I don't want to do it on i87.

exia_m3 · 12-13-2016, 12:38 PM

So, going to work this morning on the back roads, I can say I am so scared of the power, its addicting. I wanna go full throttle but see the speed at half throttle about to hit the 3 digits! The shifts are so quick now, should of been stock on competition models!

chewbakam4 · 12-13-2016, 02:17 PM

On Stage 2 93 I can't hook up in 3rd on 295s! No idea what I'd do with more power on this car. Would need R compound tires and perfect weather with a burnout to put it down in the first three gears. Toyo has their new R888R tires which I'm thinking of next in 305s if they fit.

I do.

coolmody · 12-13-2016, 04:13 PM

Anybody want to come up North to race? I have a bm3 stacked with jb4 so I must be really fast. I just add up both gains to get the total gains right?
