I was being cheeky above, but it lit a fire under my ass to see if, in fact, all those shitty plastic push clips could be replaced with M6 rivnuts. Turns out: no. The diameter of that hole is very small, and not even an M4 rivsert would fit in the hole. They might be sized for M3 diameter, but...

I'm not sure if this is a serious or tongue-in-cheek question, but: ALL locked ECUs must go to Russia. It doesn't matter if you're doing a clone, or unlocking with Femto for a custom map. If you have a locked ECU, it's going to the bloc. If you're cloning, you'll get a pre-6/20 unit back for...

Rivnut + m6 button head replacements. ?

$200K seems pretty inexpensive for a project like this. Not saying it's cheap. Not saying it's inexpensive. But all things are relative.

You are correct to say that only a DME clone enables integrations like flex fuel and port injection. These features are not available to the non-clone unlock, which only makes the calibration area (custom tune/map) available for writing.

Do these have to go to Russia?

Think I saw you leaving right as we were pulling up. :)

Just How would we even know if they need to go to Russia, still? If only there were a resource to make things clear. Guess we'll never know.

My logic is that I don't agree it's a "full unlock" or a "full tune" when the provided service is missing all the special features or integrations available to a 2020 or DME clone. What you call a "bonus" I consider essential functionality, especially CAN integrations. To me, that is of equal...

I wouldn't pay more than $200 for an alignment on a car with factory arms, and not more than $400 for a full race prep alignment on custom arms with corner balancing.

1. Nothing wrong with an OTS map. They're good. 2. You have a messaging problem from your tuning friends. If you look at the post from MHD above, it specifically mentions all the steps needed for OTS tunes. It doesn't say anything about custom maps being supported. It also implies there's a...

I believe it's the same for MHD and BM3 at present. FEMTO unlock = OTS tunes, no custom.

Thank you, Zack. And of course you can!

Here's the unvarnished truth about oil: 1. The manual recommends 0W20 oil, but states that you can top off with 1 quart of 5W30. 2. The dealer won't put anything in your car except the OEM 0W20. 3. HOWEVER, and this is the detail often missed in these 0W20 discussions: the US and Canada are...

PM me! :) I'm in 78652.

You either squeeze the orange bits at the end of the fitting to release a clip, or there's a circular internal clip that you release with a fuel line quick disconnect tool.

98% of the "it's just a BMW Mk4 is better" people, basically.

It might matter. BC-Forged has different concavity profiles depending on the offset, and this can affect hub thickness.

This depends on your offsets. What are your offsets?
