At times this sort of issues can be MAF related. There have also been some software versions that required an update. If you've got a cold start stumble let us know via the support website and we'll be in touch asap to get that taken care of:

If space and time are absolute, then the speed of light must be relative, depending upon the speed of the observer. The speed of light is absolute and does not depend upon the speed of the observer, therefore, either space or time must be relative. 2 weeks is relative based on the observer. In short, its in closed beta

By cold start stumble, do you mean the issue that I posted a video of one page back in this thread?

If this is software related, I guess I'll have to buy the necessary cables to flash things myself. I wanted to treat this tune as a set it and forget it haha, guess it can't be helped

i have experienced the same thing. just k&n drop-ins. and i've had my drops-ins for a long time on stock and never had an issue. i thought mine too was because of the removal of cold start. dunno.

Where's the fun in set it and forget it, we want to be unforgettable JK.. if you switch to stock and don't have it happen but have it on your OTS just drop us a line and we'll take care of it.

You can get the cable here, you need it anyways if you ever want to switch back to stock M POWA!

Yep you're right, related to cold start removal on some ROMs. Try to confirm it first though by switching to the stock map and seeing if it happens there. If it does then its a nobrainer and you need an update.

is $950 typical for removal of the DME and reinstallation? after looking into it they though it would be quite an effort.

Thanks,

Just to take it out and put back in? Does that include the license + unlock?

[trackymbf82]

no, i have to purchase that myself.

That is pretty steep. Removing and reinstalling the ECU takes about 3 hours. Unless they are charging you storage or something else...

Most likely miscommunication/misunderstanding somewhere. That price doesn't make sense if its the labor for unlock.

been driving on stock for a day....hasn't happened yet but it was only start to work. then start to go home...so both are just a 15min drive to work....so i guess i'm stuck driving for a few days stock....coming from the 93oct tune...........i want to kill myself. the car should have come with at least BM3 stage 1 stock and going down from there is just gawd aweful. but will do it for testing purposes.

Need the same tools used to unlock your DME. It will require your pulling your DME out.

That would be the case with any flash tune on the F8X

I meant flashing in general, not singling out ptf.. they are the tune to get by far

Maybe not all the time but in my stock ZCP, valves were open most of the time in sport plus where as with Bm3 they are close -lets say- half the time.

I have that too. I will put the cold start again and will see the difference.

Is there a way to keep the flaps open all the time in Sport + and close all the time in efficient??

[shahano]

I know there are two burlbes on the Bm3, one which is same as GTS and stage 2 which is much more agressive. Has anyone put stage 2 burbles? Can you post a video so we can hear them?

Check PTF's instagram. They have a few vids of the aggressive overrun.
