16-9_Widescreen(with app store).png


Support for BMW B46 and B48 engines in F-series and G-series vehicles has now been added to MG Flasher!

We are happy to announce OTS maps stage 1 and stage 2 are now available for selected models. The amount of time and dedication we received from our beta testing team is unreal, we are so grateful for their support! Our staff and team of beta testers spent many hours on the dyno, street and track. They went through extensive testing and logging in many different climate zones to bring you safe and reliable software.

Here are the power levels we have seen on dyno runs:
184 hp model:
Stage 1 up to 290 hp and 420 Nm (310 ft-lb), delta of 95 hp and 138 Nm (102 ft-lb) from stock.
Stage 2 up to 325 hp and 450 Nm (332 ft-lb), delta of 130 hp and 168 Nm (124 ft-lb) from stock.
252 hp model:
Stage 1 up to 290 hp and 420 Nm (310 ft-lb), delta of 38 hp and 70 Nm (52 ft-lb) from stock.
Stage 2 up to 330 hp and 460 Nm (339 ft-lb), delta of 78 hp and 110 Nm (81 ft-lb) from stock.

Models with OPF (gasoline particulate filter) are also supported on stage 1 OTS maps.

Hybrid models are still under beta testing and will be released soon.

Stage 2 requirements: Transmission tuning recommended due to the torque limiter at 440 Nm (325 ft-lb). A high flow catalytic converter or catless downpipe is required. OPF filter must be removed. Please make sure to select appropriate options in MG Flasher during the flashing process.

The process is quick and easy, download MG Flasher App, connect to your car, purchase a flashing license and map, select ECU unlock, select which map to flash and you are done! Take advantage of fast flashing through an ENET cable which is supported with our most recent release, allowing users to change OTS maps in 15-20 seconds! The entire process takes under 10 minutes when using ENET. You can find detailed instructions in our user manual and connection guide on our website or in our app.

You will be able to enjoy all the features currently available on other MG Flasher tunes. Depending on your vehicle, this includes switchable maps on-the-fly, dynamic exhaust burble also adjustable on-the-fly, cold start elimination, catalytic converter delete, OPF delete, speed limiter removal and custom map flashing. Custom tuners using our platform and working with Tuner Pro will get access to XDF files soon (under development). These features are included with our flashing license and map pack at no additional cost!

*Switchable maps “on the fly” are currently supported only on F-Series vehicles. G-Series “on the Fly options” are in development. G-Series require a 15 -20 second reflash (when using ENET) to switch maps.

Supported B46 and B48 models**:
BMW 120i F20
BMW 230i F22
BMW 320i 330i F30 F31 F34 (G20 soon)
BMW 420i 430i F32 F33 F34 F36
BMW 530i G30
BMW X3 20i 30i G01

**If you have a B46/B48 engine (184 hp or 252 hp model) and your vehicle is not shown on this list, please contact us directly for support. Hybrids are not available yet.

16-9_Widescreen.jpg


We are excited to announce support for Apple devices has now been added to MG Flasher! Now you can choose between an Android or iOS device to flash your B48/B58 equipped BMW. If you already use our software on Android, you’ll now have access to your purchased licenses on the iOS platform as well, and vice versa!

App Store Link

MG Flasher is a mobile application developed to provide OBD tuning capability of F & G series BMWs equipped with the B48 or B58 engine. The tuning process is simple; download the App, connect an ENET Wi-Fi adapter or ENET cable and flash any of our offered OTS maps to meet your specific vehicle’s needs. Flashing time is 15 - 20 seconds, and the entire unlocking process takes 4 - 6 minutes when using ENET! You can find detailed instructions in our user manual and connection guide on our website or inside the application itself.

All the tuning features available on Android are now available on iOS. Depending on your vehicle, this includes on-the-fly switchable mapping, burbles on-the-fly, cold start delete, speed limiter removal and custom map flashing for custom tuners using our platform. All these features are included with your purchase of a flashing license!

On-the-fly switchable mapping is currently only supported on F-Series vehicles. Support for G-series is planned for our next release. Furthermore, the next update will provide F & G series with additional unique features from our custom code.

We strive to deliver you a product that is both user intuitive and well designed. Something that breaks the norm of what ECU tuning is and raising the bar within the tuning industry. Our goal is simple; deliver a dynamic solution that allow you to get the best possible experience out of your vehicle. Support will continue to be built for newer platforms as they emerge, and we will continue to innovate and provide quality customer service to all users.

Initial response from iOS users suggest that iPhone 11 Pro devices only support using official ethernet lightning adapters. If you don't already own the official adapter, we highly recommend purchasing an ENET Wi-Fi adapter that costs less and connects wirelessly.

BMW Logger - unit conversions and new parameters added
Update version 204

16-9_Widescreen.jpg




MG Flasher has an updated logger available for your BMW. You can now independently select from metric to imperial units for a given measurement type. We have added PSI, AFR, lb-ft, °F and a few others to the unit options. The date in log filename has been standardized to “Apr-04-2020_04:20:20PM” format, it will also include stage and map information.

More ECUs have become supported in the logger. We added more RAM variables to log including: Engine Oil Temperature, Vehicle Speed, Fuel Tank Level, Target Engine Temperature, Intercooler Pump Speed. If this wasn’t enough, you can now import custom RAM variables in *.CSV format (targeted towards custom tuners and enthusiasts) and live gauges have adjusted font size for better legibility.

For those with four-cylinder engines (B46/B48), we have removed unnecessary logging of cylinders 5 and 6 for improved sample rates (six-cylinder engines (B58) are unaffected).

We can’t wait to release our next update featuring new custom code version 3 (CCv3). Look out for another post with more details soon!

Warm Regards,
The MG Flasher Team

Custom Code v3 delivers optimal performance with Max Cooling for your BMW!
MG Flasher update ver. 207

16-9_Widescreen.jpg


Introducing MG Flasher’s latest feature: Max Cooling On-The-Fly. With a simple button combination sequence, you can enable the Max Cooling option without re-flashing the car!

There will now be two option available for cooling your engine: Regular cooling and Max Cooling. Use “regular cooling” with regular driving, then switch to “Max Cooling” with a quick and easy button sequence. Max Cooling is achieved by lowering the target engine temperature and increasing the target intercooler coolant volume flow.

Watch the movie and see how it works!

The update will require to reflash your ECU using newest MG Flasher ver. 207. You will be presented with popup information when flashing (custom code update to v3.3). Before flashing, there will be a few options to select. “Cooling” will enable you to choose the “Regular Target Engine Temperature” as preferable for everyday driving - that is set when Max Cooling On-The-Fly is not enabled. This will then allow you to enable adjustable “Max Cooling On-The-Fly” which will present two sliders: “Max Cooling Target Engine Temperature” and “Max Cooling Target Intercooler Coolant Volume Flow” both settings used when Max Cooling On-The-Fly is on.

Target engine temperature and intercooler coolant volume flow will change between your slider settings (configured before flashing) and the default values when toggling Max Cooling On-The-Fly. OEM target engine temperature is 110°C and the OEM intercooler coolant volume flow is 1500 L/h under full load operation. You can adjust the values from 90°C - 110°C and from 1500 L/h – 1800 L/h.
  • To enable Max Cooling On-The-Fly – Switch to Sport Mode + via the Driver Experience Switch and push the Dome Light button twice within 2.5 seconds - check engine light will blink twice as a confirmation.
  • To disable Max Cooling On-The-Fly – Switch to Sport Mode + via the Driver Experience Switch and push the Dome Light button twice within 2.5 seconds - check engine light will blink once as a confirmation.
Please note: Max Cooling is currently only available on F-series and supported B48, B58 engines. Support for G-series is just around the corner! Switchable ethanol maps will be temporarily unavailable until next update which will allow you to switch between multiple maps On-The-Fly!

We also added an indicator when switching Burble Levels. The engine light will blink twice to provide confirmation that you’ve successfully adjusted your burble settings On-The-Fly. See the User Manual for more details. Just another example of how MG Flasher improves user experience.

There are plenty more exclusive features, including switchable maps, coming soon to MG Flasher for your BMW F&G series B46, B48 and B58 engines. Our team @MG Flasher is working hard towards new innovative ideas and solutions to make your overall driving experience more enjoyable.


Stay Tuned!

We are proud to present the world’s first performance map switch on BMW G series without the need to reflash the ECU. The goal of this function is to give you, the user, the ability to switch dynamically to another map-set while the engine is running. This can be only be achieved under the following conditions:
1: Switchable maps must be enabled in your software.
2: Engine must be running.
3: Vehicle must be at a standstill.

Watch our detailed instructional video here:

Switchable Map Procedure (conditions mentioned above are assumed in the following steps):

Step 1: Press the Brake Pedal 5 times consecutively within 5 seconds and then hold the Brake Pedal on the 5th press. You should notice the Check Engine Light begin to blink; this is a confirmation marker that tells you if you have performed this first step correctly. If you do not encounter a blinking Check Engine Light, then you must check the condition listed above and retry Step 1.

Step 2: While the Check Engine Light is blinking, fully press and hold the Gas Pedal to W.O.T (wide open throttle) position. The actual engine RPM will not rise during this procedure, so there will be no chance of over-revving the engine. The RPM gauge will immediately point to the currently saved map-set (ie. 2000 RPM = Map #2). If no map-set was previously selected, then you will see RPM go directly to a value of 0 indicating the default map-set. Steps 1 & 2 allow the user to see the currently selected map-set.

Step 3: To select a new map-set, fully press and hold the Gas Pedal to W.O.T (while still pressing the Brake Pedal from Steps 1 & 2) for a period of 5 seconds or longer. The map-set will coincide with the current state of the Driver Experience Switch and MSA Button.
• ECO – MAP-SET 1 (1000 RPM)
• COMFORT – MAP-SET 2 (2000 RPM)
• SPORT – MAP-SET 3 (3000 RPM)
• SPORT+ – MAP-SET 4 (4000 RPM)
• SPORT+ and 2 quick MSA presses – MAP-SET 0 (DEFAULT) (0 RPM)
After 5 seconds of holding the Gas Pedal at W.O.T position (while still holding the Brake Pedal) you will notice the RPM on the dash will reflect the choice you have selected (ie. 3000 RPM = Map #3).

Step 4: Release the Brake and Gas Pedals fully to exit the selection process. RPM on the dash will return to actual engine RPM and the Check Engine Light will stop blinking. Now you can enjoy your newly selected map-set!

Keep an eye out for the official release coming soon!

The online shop provides tools for managing your orders and allows us to process payments directly (PayPal, credit card or Visa debit card). In the past many struggled with purchase problems due to service provider’s restrictive policy for high-value in-app purchases. Our solution was to create a reliable service which users can quickly and securely buy MG Flasher products.

Authorized dealers are now able to manage resale directly from our shop and assign licenses to VIN remotely. Please contact us if you would like to become an authorized dealer.

Licenses are related to VIN not Google/Apple account. If you choose to sell a car with MG Flasher, the new buyer will have access to all purchases linked with that VIN. In case you choose to take your MG Flasher software with you to another car, we can do a license transfer too. The process will involve deactivating the original car using our app before activating the new car and providing us with both VINs for verification. The car you will choose to transfer to must be supported. Transfers can only be performed once and do not apply for custom tunes. For details contact our support staff at [email protected]

Buy a license
1. Register account in our shop
2. Go to Products page
3. Add products to the shopping cart
4. Proceed to Checkout and pay for your order via PayPal portal; credit card and Visa debit card are accepted

Redeeming purchased licenses
1. Run latest MG Flasher app on your mobile device
2. Sign in using shop credentials using active internet connection
3. Connect to your car using Connect button
4. When you see basic data of your car please enable your internet access again
5. Click Open Car button
6. Select the Flashing license or OTS map you bought in the shop from the list and click Redeem button to redeem Logger, simply select Logger
7. Confirm your selection before proceeding
8. Your license will then be locked to your vehicle and it will be ready to flash!

We can’t wait to release our next update featuring switchable maps. Look out for another post with more details soon!

MG Flasher - BMW B48 OTS Map Updates


New map updates for the B48 platform were recently released. For results please see attached Dragy times submitted from MG Flasher users! Here are the latest changes:

  • Fixed power level limiter on some B48 252hp calibrations

This means you’ll see your purchase history if your social media account uses the same email address as you previously used to log into MG Flasher. Authorized Dealers and Beta Testers will have an additional status flag visible in the “User” page for better identification.

A handful of other hotfixes took place over the last weeks:
  • Bugfix: Empty Stage selection page
  • Bugfix: Proper text will be shown when user doesn't have any purchases to redeem
  • Bugfix: Showing updates for Map Versions in the flashing page
