HELP!! Cold start issue!

Hi everyone,

I have a 2014 F30 (N20) with an MPE, resonator delete and Wagner CATTED downpipe installed. I have also gone to BM3 Stage 2.

I've noticed since the tune and downpipe installation that my cold start just does not sound right. It sounds much more like a warm start instead now.

Has anyone experienced anything like this and might be able to make any suggestions that could help me? I've added a link to clips of what it sounds like before and after the tune and downpipe.

BEFORE tune and downpipe:

AFTER tune and downpipe:

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks everyone!

Hi,

Just go into menu, my maps, select the stage 2 map your using, select config on top right corner and change cold start to OEM.
After save and reflash.
That should fix your problem.

Regards,
Shane

Thanks mate, I'll give that a try. The guy who flashed my car swears that he didn't touch any of those settings. Is the cold start setting not set on OEM by default after flashing?
