hello, I'm new to bimmerpost.com, not sure if this is the right place to ask questions regarding xDelete.

My local dealer said they cannot perform the update due to "Pre-existing coding" and it could be a liability for them.
Is there a way for me to get xDelete without updating or paying $500+ to update at a third party repair shop?

Yeah you can get the copy of ista/p and the full latest psdzdata and flash it yourself. Battery maintainer or 2nd car on jumper cables (not 2a trickle charger) recommended.

If you do that though it will I think lock the DME and that's no fun. I haven't done it for that reason, still on the good old 2016-11-20 version.

Maybe ask xdelete what's up, see what the minimum version they support is, and maybe flash to that avoid locking DME. Not sure when that was introduced, fairly recently I think. The new version of ISTA/D (you should get that too) has a whole new thing about "suspected engine tuning" now.

thanks bro, I am contacting xDelete to see what my options are. I'll let you know if they say anything.
