Very well! But why should I pay 400 or more euros for this emulator when for the same price I can have a BM3 that has these features and many others?

Pretty much MR summed it up in his second paragraph. "The ECM was also developed to answer the questions from many clients on how to deal with the newly released OPF/GPF-filters in case an exhaust system is being replaced. Customers that opt for an aftermarket exhaust system on their vehicle might run into issues with engine warning messages and limp mode sequences, which could only be dealt with via an ECU/DME mapping, remap or tune. For people who want to replace their exhaust with a new aftermarket cat-back system or a non-homologated slip-on/axle back system and don’t want to ECU/DME tune their car due to warranty concerns, the ECM is the solution since it will deal with any OPF/GPF errors accordingly. OPF-Delete is now a piece of cake and you don’t have to worry losing your factory warranty!"

You lose your factory warranty replacing the exhaust, this is obvious.

The only thing I did not have is factory warranty on the exhaust. Give me a dealer that tells me that I can't have warranty on something else because I changed the exhaust. MR |

https://www.bmw.it/it/fastlane/deale.../BMW_BMWI_BMWM Believe me, here it's better and safer to put back the oem exhaust if you need a warranty service on your powertrain, especially if you replace something like the OPF/KAT with sensors and whatever If instead you need a warranty service for something not related to the powertrain, no problem of course Last edited by VIERsr; 10-01-2019 at 02:38 PM.. |

Regarding exhaust valve control, is the override setting retained or do you need to continuously (every 10 minutes) set it like you do with the OBD adapter/app setups?

Hi. Thanks for the Work and Information.
I've the AK-Motion Display in my M2C and only need the OPF delete functionality. Is the Emulator Control Module working if the AK-Motion Display is installed? With no errors for on both Products ? Thanks. |

I have an Awron display and we will test both this and that display next to each other over the coming weeks. Where are you located? If you are willing to help us out, then let me know and I will see if I can hook you up with a box to do some testing. MR |

I have had more than 10 years experience with dealers going down that route and I never had issues. The tune is the warranty breaker, also because there is a chance BMW HQ sees it. I have never ever had a dealer removing my complete car warranty when I replaced an exhaust! Never ever... Especially not when they don't have an option available in their accessory list. The ECM solves the ECU tuning issue that many dealers see as the deal breaker between warranty lost or not. Not only that! Non-homologated slip-on systems have the tendency of throwing errors and also that the ECMs solves. You can also add valve control to your stock system or slip-on system via ECM... There is a lot more to it MR |

Regarding the exhaust everything is good until something expensive happens and it requires a technician opinion. In this case they will find a way to not pay. You have 10 year experience with dealers...I am a dealer...
