OVERVIEW
bootmod3 is the world’s first, most advanced and most widely adopted cloud-based flash tuning platform for BMW F and G series vehicles. It is a cloud solution with a web-based interface and native mobile apps for iOS and Android, developed and tested in-house from the ground up over almost two years before its November 2016 debut, with new features and updates added regularly.
This listing is the bootmod3 flash tuning license for the S63TU4 engine. Build the tune for your S63TU4-powered vehicle and go from stock to full race calibration, and everywhere in between, with a map switch in the mobile app. bootmod3 calibrates the factory vehicle modules over the OBD port in a matter of minutes, in your own driveway or anywhere internet access is available.

TECH RESOURCES
Additional Parts Required
- OBD unlock — 2019+ vehicles running November 2019 or later software. If your car has received a November 2019 or later software update it requires an OBD unlock before bootmod3 can be flashed. Contact Speed Logic for details before purchase.
- Check your production date. Vehicles built after June 2020 are currently not flashable on this platform. Confirm with Speed Logic before ordering.
- OBD-to-Ethernet (ENET) cable — required for laptop flashing. This is the generic cable also used for OEM BMW programming with factory software tools. Speed Logic does not currently stock this cable; source a standard OBD2-to-Ethernet BMW coding cable.
- bootmod3 OBD WiFi Adapter — optional alternative to a laptop, and available on this listing as a bundle option in the variant selector. It removes the need to use a laptop in the car. It is not required to use the bootmod3 platform.
- A compatible device — either a laptop running Windows or macOS with the Google Chrome browser, or an iOS / Android phone running the bootmod3 app.
- A USB-to-Ethernet adapter — only if your laptop has no built-in Ethernet port.
- Battery charger or maintainer — bootmod3 strongly recommends supporting the vehicle battery during flashing. Speed Logic does not stock chargers; use a unit rated for your battery type.
- Windows Defender, macOS firewall and any third-party antivirus or network protection must be disabled for the duration of the flash, and any piggyback device must be removed from the vehicle.
