Ok cool. I do have an enet to obd2 cable, bought a couple years ago when I tried to use the BM3 software. After a week working with their tech support their software would not connect. They determined it was a bad cable. Returned it and got another, after a week working with support, 3 different...

Yes I am technically inclined with computers and tech gear. I'll check that software out. I have the OBDLink MX+ (bluetooth dongle), Model: MX201

Thank you for the detailed info and explanation. My DME is pre june 2020, I checked, and I have not had any of the recalls done. My dealer won't even do them since several were bricked by them. I do not have full screen car play (I don't use it anyway since I have an android device). I will...

Uh.... razorlab just conflicted your statement.... not sure what's so hard about understanding.... he wrote: Any DME that has a date before June 2020 either needs to be bench unlocked (if the ISTEP software has been updated by the dealer) or needs no bench unlock if it hasn't been updated by...

I am getting confused, that's why I asked. And it's not clear.... BM3 website says: Vehicles who have been purchased after July 2020 will likely require a DME unlock. Doesn't state bench vs femto or which is needed. CounterSpace Garage says: Please note these ECUs are locked either by a Dealer...

Since the car was built 09/2019 I would assume the DME has a date of pre-june of 2020. And I doubt the dealer updated anything because I just called them and they had no idea what I was talking about. I also read that a bench unlock is different from the femto unlock. So anything pre-june 2020...

I know this has been talked about a lot, please bear with me. I've spent countless hours reading forums, checking websites, and emailing companies. I've been wanting to get my 2020 supra tuned with just intake, charge pipe, and exhaust. I've had the parts just sitting for over 2 years and just...

You can customize Sport mode to what they call Sport Individual. It's in the infotainment system. This assumes you have the old version of the BMW idrive like the 2020's have. Main screen > My Vehicle > Vehicle settings > Configure Sport Individual. You can set either sport mode or normal mode...

When I got my 2020 five years ago now, at highway speeds the front tires felt disconnected from the road, then I realized it was the incredibly light steering. I customized sport mode and changed the steering from sport back to normal. Issue solved. Maybe try that. If you do have a warranty...

I recently looked into this as I'm in NY as well and NY did change laws in regards to inspections recently. In the 1990's NY adopted CARB standards. In 2023 NY made a change that requires all Catalytic Converters meet CARB standards. These CARB compliant converters should have a CARB number...

I did not. The only thing the dealer said to me was there was signs of wear.... whatever that means. I did not see the original part after they swapped it.

That's about $2388 US dollars which is about right. My dealer said it would be about $2500, but luckily I got mine replaced under warranty. Zero cost to me, just didn't have the car for 2 weeks. Glad you're fixed up. Enjoy.

I read others in this forum who had theirs fixed under warranty as well. If the oil level check is failing at 16% the pump needs replacing and that's not on you, that's on Toyota/BMW. Should be covered under warranty. Good luck.

Yes mine was covered under warranty. Took 2 weeks and 2 days. I showed the dealer the oil level check and how it stops at 16% and told them I read this indicates an oil pump issue. They actually listened and called Toyota to verify. The tech they talked to had them do an oil pressure test, which...

Good to know. Thanks for the info and pics.

When I had mine done the Toyota dealer didn't know how to swap it. Luckily they also have a BMW dealership so they sent my car there since they know the B58. That is probably your best bet. IDK if this helps, but I asked AI.... Yes, there are several car dealerships in the Bay Area that have...

People actually pressed the start/stop more than once when starting the car? How is that even possible. Every car I've had since 2014 has had the push button start and I've never pressed the button twice. I'm really curious as to how this happens. And you're probably right about the techs not...

I just went thru this on my 2020. First indication is the engine oil level check. If it goes to 16% and then stops, that's an indicator that the oil pump is having issues. I did not receive any CEL warnings, but did get a low oil warning once which started me researching and trying the engine...

I live in a rural area where roads are 55+ mph and drive into the city is all highway so I use adaptive cruise control all the time. I have never heard any strange noises when using the system or coming to a stop, however I rarely let the car stop on it's own, I usually manually hit the brake...
