I think I finally found a vendor within driving distance I'm comfortable with. Should really help me get this going. |

I'm worried about it also. There is another thread floating around about a recent crank hub failure from a 2016 build.

I look at it differently. There is also a chance of getting run over on the street or getting into an accident both of which are probably higher in probability than spinning a crank hub. In two years almost now its what like less than 10 cars if that? Thanks, I'll take my chances just like crossing the street or driving my car risking, but not everyone is the same I do get that.

lol. 1) If a crank hub is spun, and is not covered under warranty, what's the cost? (Approx) 2). Once the DME is cracked open and the tune is installed, can you "refladh it" back to OEM? Thanks. Really wanting to go with this Flash tune |

^this is the real problem. Like Chewy basically said to each his own. Everyone is different regarding risk vs reward and how far they are willing to go.

With a flash, be it BM3, Hex, or one of the template tuners using the Euro-sourced file, if you flash back to your actual stock map or the dealership updates your DME, you'll get the 'DME tamper' code. You can flash back to a stock performance map using BM3 (not sure about VF) but any digging whatsoever on BMW's part will quickly put that little lie to bed. Long story short, as soon as you unlock the DME and flash it, it's really game over for being able to flash to undetectable stock mode. That's just a risk you have to take if you want to jump in to the performance game. On the piggyback front, I'm guessing it would take about 2% more effort on BMW's part to determine if there was a tune or not. Based on that, if you're tuned, I wouldn't bother flashing back to stock or a stock performance map if taking your car in for service/warranty. The damage was already done. |
