If you know your battery is fully charge you don't need to hook it up. But if you've never flashed your car before and/or haven't recently charged it so that you know what state your battery is in - better safe than sorry.

You’ll be fine, it’s ridiculously easy . A few things I’d recommend... - Turn off head lights - Turn off A/C and radio - Roll down drivers window all the way so you can run initial unlock/flash from outside of the car - Plug in drivers seat belt Once initial unlock begins, step back into house and find something to do for 3mins....you know, so you don’t freak yourself out while waiting for process to finish Nothing to worry about .

Find a dyno place that will do one run?
I'm waiting for a place to call me back, it's 3 runs for $150. I want to flash to stock for the first run, then back to stage 1 93 for the last two runs. My battery is fairly new but I hooked up a battery charger anyway. DME unlock was fairly quick, I wasn't able to finish watching a video on my phone. |

I flashed a 428i stock down Pipe and exhaust. Exhaust notes are still the same as stock. re flashed using OTS setting.. NADA. drove around for a while and no changes. Re flashed custom using the settings described in the manual 'Page 33 6.5.4 Exhaust Burble section. no exhaust notes changed so far. Also my car has the N26 engine and BM3 sees it a N20 I guess that is ok. |

I flashed tonight, it went pretty quickly. I hooked the car up to a running jeep next to it for power and that worked fine. Took it for a quick test drive after the flash and holy shit that thing is quick now. I was just in comfort mode too, didn't go to sport. It was super smooth just driving normally and doing pulls, arguably smoother than stock. I was impressed with how quick boost came on and then how hard the car pulled when it did. It feels 100% better than stock and I can't wait to drive it again tomorrow.
I tried to do a log by double clicking on the dashboard but I must not have done it right because I didn't trigger a log. I did see the target boost at 15.7psi but didn't get to see what the pre-throttle boost went to. I'll have to try logging again later, but given how smooth and hard it pulled I'm going to assume for now that it's running great. I am curious to confirm no boost leaks after having had the CP and IC done.

Good to hear the flash went smooth. Gotta love the feeling of the first pull right after a successful upgrade/flash |

You need to click top right hand corner to start the log. Make sure to get a couple decent logs, mine felt good with trash timing and knock so you never know.

I drove the car in to work this morning, and all I can say is wow. The drive-ability in comfort is incredibly improved vs. stock. The throttle is way more linear without feeling 'boomy' like sport does stock. I felt like I had to give it a lot of gas to make things happen in comfort before, and now the car just responds. I'm very happy with that. On the down side, I discovered that I'm getting clutch slip when the boost finishes building. Definitely in 4th and above, I'll have to check 3rd again cuz I can't remember, but it probably is. Right around 2k rpm when I've got all the boost built, the clutch jumps a couple hundred RPM. Not good, so I'll have to resolve that. 87k miles on the stock clutch, with 30k of that being primarily bumper to bumper traffic in DC and 56k of that being some unknown miles put on by the previous owner. It was not slipping at all when stock but the added boost is pushing it just past its limit. It sounds like going with the 335is/550i clutch is the way to go, but would a new stock clutch hold? Anyway, that's probably going to delay getting a good data log. I'm tempted to bump the tune back down to the free MPPK map and see if the reduced boost on that map makes the clutch happier. Definitely interested in some informed thoughts on this. I have some interest in validating that the tune isn't causing me any problems, but based on how smooth it's running and that I probably shouldn't do a full throttle pull, would a part throttle data log be of any value?

I upgraded to spec stage 2+ with a new dual mass flywheel, and also bought a new clutch slave and pulled the CDV. It's running great now, 0 complaints. Vancouver has a lot of traffic and I don't have any problems using this setup |

I did do some reading on the spec stage 2+, maybre this is a topic for another thread but it sounded like that potentially introduces some chatter? I really like the thought of keeping the stock pedal feel so going with a stock replacement would be my preference. I am curious on labor cost though so I can prepare myself for what this bill is going to be lol

I did the CDV at the same time so unfortunately I can't say what made the biggest change, but if you're planning on modifying your vehicle I highly recommend it. Others have pulled out their exisitng slave cyl and made the mod, but I just bought a new one ($168 CDN) and got them to install it when doing the clutch since the transmission was down anyway https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1486773 |

You are high mileage on the stock clutch so i would not be surprised if it was slipping with the tune. If you are on stage 2, you could try going back to stage 1 to see if you can drive that WOT without slip. Bottom line though, you don't want to be driving any tune that is causing the clutch to slip because its just going to eat through the remaining material that much faster, not to mention you arent really getting the full benefit of the power anyways. There is a thread about the clutch/flywheel here: https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1406927 |
