you can also say that ANY tune expect official PPK is illegal and WILL void the warranty...

check out euro tunners, you guys overall dont see past few local tunners that put together a reflash in their garage

on nurburgring i had 116's pass in in a straight line ( and yes i know how to drive, 335xi) so all "unbelievable" arguments are plain dumb. they gave enough tech details to support.

if you cant do something or never seen it before doesnt mean it is not possible

I wonder if there is also a hot "natalia" behind the software :-p

In the end, a modded 320i is only mildly quicker than a stock 328i, which is what is suspected would happen and why i coughed up a bit more for the 328i.

should have coughed up for a 335 with same tune you could have had a nice argument with M3 guys

On warranty like any aftermarket part, if it causes the problem, BMW should and will not honor the warranty on the damage. The problem is they often go over board. I had a customer whose power steering rack failed and BMW denied the repair claim because he had aftermarket rims. That's just how it goes with BMW. Protect yourself by removing mods every time if you know it didn't cause the issue. And if your mod did cause the issue open up your wallet to repair it.

Dear Timur,

This is AMAZING!!! Do you have further information on flashing the 20i ECU to 28i? I'm very interested in this. Are those flashing software, 28i firmware shared in the Russian bmwclub?

Thanks!

Now there are many members who reflashed their ECU's and posted reiews, racing videos e.t.c. Last week I was given a ride on 320i reflashed to 328. Now I am 100% sure it's possible

The guy who reflashed his 320 has BMS ST2 as well, after reflas he connected it and looked at logs - according to him reflashed 320 - has a lower boost than 328- probably to compensate for different compression ratio.


Intresting thing is that if you have less that 50 hours of work on your engine - the reflash could be done without physical opening the ECU

For some reason I can't see the videos !!

Might be because this thread is very old. And funny enough, no well known have still not cracked it. So I believe it was purely BS

Anyone had tuned or added JB4/TMC on a manual 320i? how much torque can the Manual Transmission handle?

Hi Timur
is your 320i AT or MT? I know AT can tolerate the torque after alternation but just wonder if the 320i MT can handle.... I found no max torque information for the Manual Gearbox

I think this was a joke..
