Easiest place to tap into the CAN bus is the twisted pair in the passenger footwell. Right hand side, under the glove box. Pop off the plastic interior piece and it's right there.

He obviously needs more people telling him the truth. ;)

I'm sorry, this is completely false information. The dealers didn't look hard enough if they didn't see your ECU had been changed before. If you had a high dollar warranty claim and corporate did an investigation into seeing if the ECU had been changed, I will guarantee you they can see if it...

Same, haven't broken them and have swapped almost every single suspension component, had the car up/down countless times, launched off track curbing, two wheels in the air, slammed back down.... zero issues. So.. not "literally everyone" although I know @zrk was just being dramatic. ;)

great, thanks. So it looks like I am slightly overfilled here then, correct? why is the “unfiltered” value so different than Raw?

@32bitsofGil which is the value to look at in bimmerlink for accurate oil level, “raw value oil level”?

First time I took the engine cover off I thought I had a spun bearing. Noisy f’ers indeed.

100% agree here. My father was in car sales for pretty much his whole life before he passed. He was kind of a mediocre one because he wasn't a sleazy asshole. He sold much less than the others, but he would stay at the same dealer for years because he created actual relationships with people...

I've swapped a LCA in a parking lot between track sessions. Easily less than an hour and since there is no adjustability, it won't change alignment enough to matter. Even with the SPL parts, if you measure correctly, you won't change the alignment. The dealers are just trying to scam people...

Found a bunch of possible places to get a replacement: https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/84109297787.htm?pn=84-10-9-297-787-BOE https://electropapa.com/en/car-tcu-ecu-device-battery-replacement-for-bmw-9297787-84109297787-440mah-4-8v-nimh...

You don't pay the sales tax of where you bought it, you pay the sales tax of where you will register it. If you did pay sales tax from where you bought it, everyone would buy cars from Oregon, Alaska, Delaware, Montana, etc since there is no sales tax there.

You are delusional to think that if you flashed your ECU that BMW wouldn't be able to detect that if they really wanted to. From working with ECUs for over 15 years, I can tell you, they can without a doubt.

guys, BENCH UNLOCK, no big deal. :) Not the same thing as the 21+ where you have to send it into the Ether and spend a bunch of money and have to deal with a certain companies AMAZING customer service ;)

They had that option before the 2023

Bench flash is MUCH different than the whole "send your ECU away and get it cloned". Much cheaper and easier process.

Or spend a fraction of that amount, $7, and get this, which is just as good: https://www.racetronix.biz/p/oil-drain-plug-magnetic-12x15mm-blk/mdp-m1215

When are you installing the curb feelers?

No, the backing plate is the thick steel plate the pad material is adhered to.
