Milltek race fitted - ASD spoils it..

Had the Milltek race (OPF back system) installed today.
Whilst it sounds very good (but not as loud as I’d like, but I’m not wanting to remove the OPF’s) I think the ASD spoils it somewhat.

Is there anywhere in the UK /EU that sells the harness?
Postage from the US to UK is almost as much as the unit itself.

I would be easiest to code it off using BimmerCode app for the iphone / Android and a Wifi OBD dongle. Its really very very easy.

Don't be intimidated by it. Thats how I got rid of the ASD. And the Bimmercode app remembers your previous settings so you can always go back.

Interesting - can you point me in the right direction of the dongle?
I assume Bimmercode is just from the App Store?

There are several different ones available, and any will do.

I used Bimmercode to code off my ASD also.

Bimmcode is for coding

Bimmerlink is reading engine diagnostic OBD2 trouble codes.

Bimmercode can be used to turn off ASD?
That’s all I want to do.

£40GBP!
Cheaper than anything else I’ve seen.

Just fitted the ASD bypass.
Pretty disappointed with the sound if I’m honest.
The engine is devoid of anything interesting and for some reason even the Milltek sounds muted.

Really annoying, as I just don’t want to bugger my warranty by removing the OPFs.
Can’t live with this - car will be for sale before long...!

The main problem is the OPFs, it is not the fault of the engine or the Milltek.
Just for reference

Yeah, I know that....just getting pissed off at BMW for taking some of the joy out of M cars.
Think I’ll reinstall the ASD and look at the Milltek opf replacement pipes.

I can see the benefits of ASD removal for US cars and those without opf’s, but it just doesn’t work on the EU cars.

Did you try to let the valves open with bimmercode ?
I have the Milltek race on my opf car and i have the same problem.... i would like more sound....
The only real good solution is to remove opf.
Nothing else... i’m waiting for a good solution without remap. For the moment it’s not easy.

I haven’t got BimmerCode.

Doughboy on here had the Milltek opf replacement pipes with hi flow cats and had no issues without a remap.

I certainly don’t want to go down the remap route either.

Hi I had the same config and I had problems with it. He has the oldest DME version that seems to be less sensitive.

I’m kind of hoping mine will also be an old DME - car was registered Dec 2018 so probably built around Oct 18.

If I had to remap to remove the OPF’s, I assume the engine warranty would be void.
Don’t think I’m as brave as those that remap!

There are other solutions for OPF delete coming to the market which you don’t need to change the OEM map, although it will still have warranty implications.

I have AK Motion Display and I'm runnning the catback + mid delete opf, and with this the car is running well. The car is not getting limp mode as before I installed the display.

I didn't want to touch the DME for guarantee reasons too and this option is completely reversible.

Just wait until Alexander finish the development and release a version
