You are joking, right?

I’ve seen a handful of reports of this behavior on BMW forums due to rodents inside the cabin triggering the motion sensor. Hopefully that’s not your issue, but you could try temporarily disabling the motion sensor and see what happens. I echo razorlab’s recommendation to pull codes; it should...

I’m also wondering how we can get the attention of a moderator. I’ve reported him for trolling/spamming but it obviously hasn’t resulted in any action yet.

To provide another update, my car began receiving the regional map updates a few weeks after signing up for Supra Connect. The region selection now appears on the website, whereas upon initial enrollment it did not immediately appear (screenshot a few posts above) The updates are apparently...

It seemingly comes in waves every few months. I cannot tell if it’s trolling or incompetence (or both).

I’m confused why you’re being so rude and condescending to people who are trying to help the broader community. This is a much larger issue than the Supra (which is, relatively speaking, a trivial production volume compared to other B58TU vehicles). I also own a G20 and there are reports all...

@Faye saw your video pop up first thing when I checked my YT subscription feed this morning and immediately jumped back to this thread to comment. Thank you so much for creating this, I am sure it will help the B58 community tremendously. I’ll be watching the video a bit later this morning...

Well, as an update, I registered for Supra Connect. In case anyone else runs into this in the future, if you already have a BMW Connected Drive account it’s the same login via a slightly different URL. I also ran into an issue with the website saying my VIN is invalid. I logged out and tried it...

It’s not going to work. It is not possible to (FDL) code start/stop on cars with i-step 03/2023 and newer. I’m all for validating, but I wouldn’t spend money on it. PS: Markets outside the US may allow for successful coding, it is all up to BMW.

I can’t comment on the errors that come up after applying a tune (although I’ve seen similar posts) but the battery error in particular shouldn’t throw a CEL per the data on BMWfault.codes and personal experience with my G20 and a low battery. It is interesting if you clear 030E08 and it comes...

030E08 should not cause a check engine light, but rather would have a “low battery“ warning that pops up on iDrive. Have you scanned to see what other faults are present? (There’s almost always other faults present on these cars, it’s just a question of what will result in a CEL).

There’s plenty of changes that can be made by Bimmercode to ‘locked’ DMEs. FDL coding and flashing/tuning are very different things; there’s extensive information on Google about how it all works.

Thanks for the additional info! Interesting that BMW explicitly mentions cold ambient temperatures. I wonder what the actual failure rate is, and if BMW begun replacing these without exhibiting evidence of failure.

Ha yeah BMW (and VW) love their one-time-use/TTY bolts. I doubt Toyota would cover it under warranty preemptively, without any signs of failure ?. I’m not sure if it’ll ever fail given the yearly mileage. This is the most tangible/‘official’ information I’ve seen posted here or on the BMW...

First, just want to say your YouTube channel is fantastic. Second, a DIY with your typical level of detail on the B58 oil pump replacement would be *amazing*. I have an early production (March 2020) MY2021 that I imagine has the faulty design. The car sees less than 1000 miles a year so who...

Front passenger was a bit slow for me until I increased the pressure to a little over 15 psi. I echo what @razorlab said, and make sure not to exceed 29 psi/2 bar.

There could be a myriad of reasons. Perhaps your vehicle was not meeting the conditions to enable start/stop for unrelated reasons. Maybe you were consistently driving in Sport mode.

BMW implemented (US) changes in the 03/2023 iDrive update preventing automatic start/stop from being disabled via coding. It is completely unrelated to OTA navigation map updates which have no effect on the DME firmware. Until now, I simply never had a reason to sign up; it’s an infrequently...

Thanks guys. Maybe the question I should be asking is if anyone is receiving OTA updates without being enrolled in Supra Connect?

For the first time buying my Supra almost 5 years ago I decided to check the maps version, and to my surprise it’s from 2019. There’s not a lot of good information out there, but from what I’ve gathered US vehicles should automatically (OTA) update for a specific region. The region can be set...
