BMW's 430i Gran Coupe, 440i Gran Coupe, 2017–2020. Powered by the B48/B58 engine family.
Stage pricing for the F36
Cooling, downpipe, fueling — the ceiling worth chasing on factory turbos.

Build this stage Stage 3 methodologyThe F36 Gran Coupe is the F32 4 Series with four frameless doors and a hatch — the previous-gen take on coupe styling with genuine practicality, and now one of the better-value used fours going. The engines match the rest of the F32 range: 435i N55 (300 hp), 440i B58 (320 hp), 430i B48 (252 hp), all tuning as they do across the F30/F32 family (see those pages).
It's the practical pick of the old 4 Series — the coupe's look, the usability of a hatchback sedan — on the same well-supported N55/B58 platforms. The honest notes are the familiar F30-family items (the water pump, the housing gasket; F32 page).
So the F36 is the used 4 Series for people who want the style and the space — the gran coupe that does both, on engines the aftermarket knows cold.

Set the F36 as your garage vehicle and the rest of the store filters to what fits it.
Set vehicleBefore you tune.
Will my dealer flag the tune at service?
The bootmod3 flash is non-destructive and reversible. Revert to stock before a dealer appointment and the ECU is back to factory in a few minutes; re-flash after service. We document the revert step in writing so the next person opening your file knows what's there.
Is it safe for the engine?
Every tune we ship has been datalogged on the car it was written for. We look at knock counts, fuel trims, boost behavior, and intake temps before we sign off. If the numbers don't sit right, we revise. That review and the revision policy are built into what the tune costs.
How long until I have a working tune?
Most calibrations turn around in a few days. We log, review, and revise before anything ships — we would rather get it right than get it out fast.
Can I go back to stock?
Yes. bootmod3 supports a stock revert that returns the ECU to factory calibration in under five minutes. The flash is non-destructive — nothing in the BMW DME is permanently modified. Most owners revert before trade-in.
