Catless DP + e50 tune will get you to 500 wheel without the exhaust. Even with a catted DP + e50 tune I was able to put down 480hp/540tq thru the stock exhaust. Catless should be worth 15-20hp more.
are you saying you already have a tune loaded using BM3? If that is the case, then you should not need another unlock. But if BM3 was used to tune your car the first time you should have created a BM3 account to update or make changes or upload another tune.
Backend Flash, still requires using MHD to flash the ECU. If your car has an ECU date > 6/20, you wont be able to take advantage of a BEF (backend flash). There is a member on the FB group that does help with JB4 custom tuning if that's what you are trying to do.
Dinan cant unlock it either. It says it right on the page
"Compatability limited to 2020 MY and prior (specifically up to a 06/2020 build date). 2021+ MY not supported at this time."
the stock ecu can run up to e25 and compensate. There's a thread floating around FB and there were measurable improvements even with a little bit of ethanol.
Maybe try another scan tool to clear with. I did get a code with a catted dp but it was a cheaper brand. I’d reach out to powerneedy to see if they have any suggestions
Not sure the details but I know Visconti also offers a remote unlock service for some of these ECUs. Its not cheap, but might be the only option if you dont want to ship your ECU.
Yeah, if you require a bench unlock their is usually an extra charge no matter who tunes it. I've seen some tuners charge $400-500 so $250 isnt bad at all.
I think you will be pretty happy once its dialed in. I've got some random issues with smart keys now and i've reflashed the car and it still doesnt work. Im dreading having to go to the dealer with the possibility they will reflash my ECU and lock me back out.
BMW problems... :doh:
Most of the tuners are way behind since they were all racing last weekend in Texas. I would try emailing Mikey or Jahaziel his assistant. Typically i've gotten responses or revisions in 48hrs from them. I would also try flashing the stock file and see if the code still pops up. It could be...
Brake boosting in 2nd allows you to build boost. You can actually get the RPM up to almost 3k and still hold on the foot brake without creeping the car forward.
