Update...won't make it this time. The car just didn't make it into my garage in time.

daberlin · 03-30-2014, 12:14 PM

Sorry. Can't make it. My exhaust is in pieces on the floor of the garage. Akrapovic arrives tomorrow.

Your'e all more than welcome. It was a beautiful day and it was really nice seeing everyone again.

BTW: Did you crank the Blue intensity on your camera way up? The Estoril Blue M-Sports look way off and your Imperial Blue looks black!

izzyM2 · 03-31-2014, 09:20 AM

Thank you Frogman for all the updates and it is so nice to see cool BMW peeps. I'm glad we got to eat lunch after because I was so hungry already! Haha. Presario... I put your contribution to good use. Anybody did LC yet?

Awesome! Glad you guys had a good lunch! I haven't tried Launch control yet but I'll give it a go this week and report back. Really excited that we can potentially have this feature!

Mr.G20 M340 · 03-31-2014, 01:42 PM

Of course i get rear ended when i was on my way their. I was still able to drive but i didn't have the right mindset to come. This meet makes your realize that EB is not that rare anymore. Anyway that theres going to be a meet anytime soon? Perhaps during spring break which is in 2 weeks? And can i get a close up of the EB with the black rims?

DrivenByE30 · 03-31-2014, 02:10 PM

Sorry to hear you had a mishap ! Bummer !

Any pics of the damage?

Per your request, this Izzy's car:

And yes Frogman, i tweaked a bit the photos, i was trying to make you red car a little bluer...
J/k.. just playing with the contrast and brightness only...

Mr.G20 M340 · 03-31-2014, 05:12 PM

Yes thank you! No worries about the damage it just needs to be repainted thank goodness, It was a bit of relief once i used index on the damage and realized most of it was gone but some scratches were left behind. I'll post pics later don't have time right now.

Jchan112 · 04-02-2014, 10:21 PM

ahhh I missed it and just saw the post!! when's the next meet gonna be? I need to get mine coded as well! Thanks guys!

Presario · 04-02-2014, 10:35 PM

Hey guys,
Sorry to report that the launch control coding on 12-13 models doesn't seem to work. Bummer!

Maybe we can get one of the coders out to the biweekly 626 dinner meet. See you at the next one!

Frogman · 04-02-2014, 11:26 PM

I can probably make it to the 626 dinner on the 11th. It sounds like fun, but the traffic getting there will be a PITA.

I'll code whoever wants coding after dinner.

i can attest to that.

Frogman · 04-04-2014, 06:02 PM

I've done some more research and can check some other settings to see if we can get LC working.

You need SAT and I-step >= 2.50.4 (F020_13-07-506) for LC.

If you don't have SAT, we can code that in too.

F30SD · 04-08-2014, 08:47 PM

Sorry I missed it. I am dropping my car off at the dealer next week, hoping they don't erase my codes. When are you planning the next one in case they do?
Also, I am super interested in Launch control, I have a 2013 MY built Sept 2012.
Thanks again Frogman for arranging this. I will definitely buy you lunch again.

No plans yet; lets see how much interest there is in a couple of weeks. You're always welcome to drive up here

izzyM2 · 04-10-2014, 06:13 AM

What's SAT?

Frogman · 04-10-2014, 07:49 AM

SAT = Sports Auto Transmission (option code 2TB).

It seems that it's required for Launch Control to work.

I'm pretty sure that you and Presario have that already. I want to check one more setting on your cars that may be causing LC to not work.

daberlin · 04-10-2014, 07:45 PM

Hey guys -

I took my car in to the shop today for a few odds and ends- recall on the drain hole grommet, tsb on the low end throttle vibration, etc. However, since I was there, I figured I'd get them to install the new MPPK since I just slapped the Akrapovic exhaust on last week. Since I love all the coding that Frogman did on my car and I expect them all to be wiped out when they install the MPPK, can I suggest another meet up on either 19 or 20 April? I liked the LA Zoo location, or if it is better for folks maybe we could meet at Topanga Mall on Sunday morning for Super Car Sunday?

Please let me know your thoughts.

Regards, David
