Got the DP installed...Holy contributing to the delinquency of minors Batman...Car is crazy ridiculous fast in Sport +...Literally scared the crap out of me pulling out of the exhaust shop...No lag and no throttle closure...Torque is full on down low and pulls hard to red line. Shifts are smooth and stock like. And the Burbles are outrageous in Sport +...Burbles and exhaust is near stock quiet in comfort with no drone in any gear or mode. So far about 40 miles on the car...Going to do another 80 tonight. This is fun! Install cost me $130 at a local muffler shop. Another shop that I take my cars for inspection wanted 4 hours labor at $125 per hour, so shop around. It took the muffler shop 1.5 and they treated my car like their own...It was a Meineke.

Flashed mine last night. Process was easy and went smoothly.
Unfortunately have only been able to take a short drive and then sat in traffic. Can't wait to open it up.

But the car runs hard man. Feels great! I do have a O2 sensor L pipe ready but Alex told me it wasn't needed with the stage 2 flash....We'll see...

Update: Alex responded immediately and had me read the code using their app...it is 180001 which is catless downpipe detected. I cleared the code using the app and have a stage 2 flash so there may be a bug somewhere...We'll see what Alex comes up with...Otherwise car is running great!

Ill make a new thread on thursday with dyno numbers.

Definitely anxious to hear about dyno

3FortyI · 08-08-2018, 07:34 AM

I'm glad to have bought the flash as well. It'll be stage 1 for me on a 340i XDrive. My goal will be to get before and after dynos. I'm out of town this week but hope when I get back I set it up.

ZTZ1010 · 08-08-2018, 08:10 AM

Keep us posted.

Vinnie Stix · 08-08-2018, 01:58 PM

Alex got back to me this morning and related that there was a hidden code for the DP delete causing the CEL and he is fixing that...Another minor issue is the torque gage...He is going to reset it to 480 so that both HP and TQ gages will be the same which is cool...After the tune only the HP gauge was bumped to 480. Just back from another 40 mile run and it's smoking fast...So much fun to drive now!

BMW has a universal code for catless dp detection? It was it mFlasher that threw the code?

Vinnie Stix · 08-08-2018, 03:16 PM

Alex responded saying some firmware had a hidden code for that...Whatever that means...He said he is addressing it today. The day before my ECU was flashed my BMW was in the shop and got a new headunit due to a navigation malfunction...They updated my software and my JB4 went nuts after I reinstalled it. I bet the latest BMW software may screw a bunch of stuff up with tunes and Piggybacks...That's my 2 cents LOL. Computers are finicky little shits!

mitchellm · 08-08-2018, 03:59 PM

I'm close to pulling the trigger. Thanks for everyone who has reported thus far. Alex seems like a good guy and is responsive. I have a PS2 so like the ideal of semi custom tune vs an OTS map. I'm resisting the BMS meth kit. Hoping to do it without supplemental fuel.

There is another guy with a PS2 currently getting a custom tune so some of the work may already be done.

Yeah I sent a PM to him. He said that Alex is still currently working on his flash. I'm waiting to hear his experience. I've had to drop my jb4 back to map1. Map2 has been to aggressive. Getting no fuel after 5k with throttle closures. Should be running meth but holding off until I saw the results of the flash

FLY_M240i · 08-09-2018, 01:02 PM

Well I just received my map and instructions from Alex!! Strapping the car on the dyno right now on pump 90 octane (best fuel we get here) Will do baseline, will flash and share the results!

jpsimon · 08-09-2018, 01:15 PM

Ouch only 90? Throw some e85 in there or something

Yeah, just 14-15 psi to run this fuel. Yeah next is 98 octane and then E30-40 blend.

Curious to see your results.
I've seen up to 18 psi with my tune.
I sometimes saw up to 16 on the stock tune, but more regularly around 12.

So yeah it's really good! After 20 dyno runs trying to find out why AFR was still in 14s I had to remove the JB4 which even on map 0 was modifying the AFR. Results at 18 psi boost on 90 octane and a bit of octane booster.

What are the numbers? That pic is a bit hard to read?
