They also didn`t update my software because of this, so the car still says "full drivetrain power in use soon" Which means no launch control. They think this is okay for the next 28 000km, but i disagree completelly. Going to phone them today and talk this through Last edited by ICantDrive4Sht; 05-15-2019 at 06:18 AM.. |

Please provide feedback of driving impressions on the CS tune. Are you manual or DCT?

DCT. Just like stock but a very linear and progressive map. You definitely notice more shove across the rev range. Car should’ve come this way from stock. Very easy interface and I was up and running in 5 minutes. 👍🏽

BMW now told me there is an update for my car but i told them not to install it. As it's only classed as a "quality enhancement" it's not compulsory. They gave me the usual BS but i said its my right to refuse it. I said send me all the details of the update, ill consider it in my own time if i think i want it we can get it done later. They said no problem sir. |

Deciding whether to say when I drop it off don't update any software (which they may not have even thought about before but then alerted them) vs taking a chance / hoping they'd ask me before doing anything. |

I did my RIS yesterday and mentioned to the SA not to touch the DME. He said no problem and asked if I had tuned. I said no, but keeping my options open.

My nav screen had been acting up for sometime. Finally grew tired of it so I flashed and locked before dealer visit. Well, first thing they tried was software, of course the problem remained. Next on their list was to replace the screen which did fix the problem. Unfortunately, now when trying to re-flash the BM3, it won’t recognize. I knew there was a possibility the ECU would be locked but was sorta in a jam. ( wife wanted it fixed )
I miss the extra push. Hope they come up with a work around soon. Last edited by Trapperj; 06-01-2019 at 10:47 PM.. |

I thought about requesting them to jump straight to the screen replacement, this saving my ability to reflash, but I reckon there’s protocol in place & they have to do whatever the motherland says. This way, they sorta kill two birds with one stone. Nav works, and ECU locked. Car sure does feel neutered with the stock tune. Had been running stage 1 93 octane. The upside is my tires will last much longer now. |

I just hope mine doesn't need any warranty work until Bootmode cracks the OBD lock. |

I'll be going backwards from here, older, cheaper, lighter, noisier and less or no restrictions. Happy days. |

Off topic: How did you get that unit you put into your aircon vent? Can't remember the name of the company but awhile back I looked at their website and they didn't have it for M2 anymore.
Does it plug into your OBD port? Does the dealer hassle you about it? |

Dealers don't know what it is and just leave it aside. They don't do service on air vents. You can't replace the oil of an air vent, so they just look passed it. It goes into the CAN bus. The P3Cars display goes into the ODB port. MR |

I honestly believe this will be my last new gas powered ride as well. In the future would probably look back to a Cayman or similar to scratch my manual transmission itch. |
