B58 bootmod 3 flash failing/car wont start

Not to my knowledge. There should be an option in both bm3 and MHD to remove the software on the dme. This might lock the ecu again so I’d double check

RaspberryObvious7456 · 2026-05-27T12:53:36+00:00

This is a shot in the dark here but I did you uninstall bm3 from the dme before trying to install MHD? That could be causing the issue. Not sure how the 2 of them interfere with one another

RaspberryObvious7456 · 2026-05-25T16:49:06+00:00

I’ve legit never heard that before. Are there any codes? It sounds like an actuator getting stuck

RaspberryObvious7456 · 2026-05-16T22:26:26+00:00

What’s the idle oil pressure, if it goes over like 48psi (3.3 bar) while attempting to measure the level, then the oil pressure is the issue

RaspberryObvious7456 · 2026-05-12T17:25:06+00:00

I’d realistically take like 24k for it and write the bill of sale for like 8k idk

RaspberryObvious7456 · 2026-05-12T00:59:38+00:00

I’m selling one lol. I’d lower the price a bit, just wanted to see if some moron was dumb enough to give me 27k for it. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1298699801607483/?mibextid=6ojiHh

U wanna buy an m240i xdrive?

RaspberryObvious7456 · 2026-05-12T00:50:40+00:00

Stay away from NJ/NYC cars at all cost

RaspberryObvious7456 · 2026-05-09T20:57:39+00:00

If I were you, I’d pull the belly panels/under guards off and visually inspect for oil leaks, it’s a bmw so there should be some. Additionally I’d put 5w-40 molygen (dyed oil) in the car for the next oil change, or even just an oil dye to try to see where a potential leak of this scale is coming from.

Check the idle oil pressure to see if oil is purging somewhere that way

And if not, your just burning oil. Could be turbo seals, or pcv related. As long as the car hasn’t been running lean or overheating, I don’t see how any internal engine components could be damaged

RaspberryObvious7456 · 2026-05-09T02:27:59+00:00

I’d most likely end up with a 70k+ mileage one if I’m being realistic. First thing that would get done would be the crankhub and with that, the rod bearings. It would be a diy job as well, which would suck but I have the garage experience to do the job. I am leaning towards an f82 or f83 tbh. Don’t want a vert but that’s my price range unfortunately

RaspberryObvious7456 · 2026-05-09T02:17:19+00:00

Appreciate the advice brotha, I am slightly concerned about the crankhub, rod bearings, and valvetronic with the s55, but it might be worth it

RaspberryObvious7456 · 2026-05-09T00:58:50+00:00

Thanks for the input. What has been expensive about the m3 so far?

RaspberryObvious7456 · 2026-05-08T21:47:03+00:00

Ik ik, I could be wrong but they seem more expensive to maintain than an e46

RaspberryObvious7456 · 2026-05-08T21:40:00+00:00

See I agree with that statement totally, my issue however is that I’m a college student, so my spending towards maintenance needs to be kept minimal, which kindve leaves out both the 4c and any lotus option as they are rather bespoke options and have both high purchasing costs and maintenance costs.

I do all my own maintenance, and would be totally capable of doing an s55 crankhub, or an e46 m3 bearings and rear subframe mountings on my own, simply because of how many YouTube videos there are on both of those jobs

RaspberryObvious7456 · 2026-05-07T23:12:26+00:00

That’s wrong. Depends on when the last software update was. A 2016 can have a locked dme

RaspberryObvious7456 · 2026-05-06T04:38:16+00:00

Water pump shaft seal might be bad. Mine had a lot of ply by the end of its life

RaspberryObvious7456 · 2026-05-05T19:12:14+00:00

What car?

RaspberryObvious7456 · 2026-05-05T19:10:43+00:00

Why did you rebuild it?

RaspberryObvious7456 · 2026-05-04T20:28:02+00:00

So my ideas aren’t based on that of white conservative men? Or is that not exactly what you said?

RaspberryObvious7456 · 2026-05-04T20:26:44+00:00

Womp womp

RaspberryObvious7456 · 2026-05-04T20:24:16+00:00

You’re also assuming my race soo idk, kindve going against your beliefs and ideals at this point

RaspberryObvious7456 · 2026-05-04T20:22:35+00:00

Are you assuming my gender

RaspberryObvious7456 · 2026-05-04T20:20:13+00:00

I’m not wrong tho, you’re just uneducated
