Have you tried starting/running the car since then?

Once I got home, I did try to restart it and it took an extra second to crank up. Hesitant to clear the codes and crank her up again as I don't want to run a possible mis-timed engine. However, it did take a while (~15-35mins) after spirited driving for limp mode to activate. I would have expected to see it immediately.

Since someone else asked- No CBC, completely stock.

Will get it towed to a BMW master technician Monday to take a further look.

Just be careful with anti-lag! Seems to be more aggressive than a DCT kick-down which I had been avoiding.

Out of curiosity, what gear were you in when you did an Anti-Lag pull?

[m4h2o]

Can someone please explain if this is possible?

use carey jordans e85 custom tune and use PTFs FF and install the sensor. Good to go?!!

I tested it out about 4-5 times, each time around a 50-70mph starting speed in 3rd/4th gear.

I’ve run it at least 50 times since flashing no issues. Your hub would’ve spun then anyways happens on bone stock cars.

I think that's a little overly aggressive caution towards the anti-lag. I've engaged it numerous times over the weekend, after converting my CJordan E85 tune to the customROM and flashing. In my opinion (based purely on feel), the anti-lag is nowhere near as abrupt as any DCT kick-down.

Tide I think your comment answered a question i had earlier. I also have cj custom e85 tune. My question was if i can add thise features to that tune.. specifically the flex fuel?

[EasyBimmerCoding]

Amazing update, Great work BM3 Team.

[SteveChester]

Do you plan to update any of the existing S55 maps / GTS transmission software?

Once the initial bugs were worked out by PTF, the anti-lag feature finally worked when converting the CJ E85 tune to the customROM format. Not sure about the FF aspect, as I don't have that setup at the time. But, the FF sensor override options are available and active in the "Live Tuning" tab, so it might be incorporated using the OTS FF settings (similar to how anti-lag is incorporated into the custom tune with the basic OTS settings).

[Psychotic Mouse]

Has anyone tested liveadjust burbles?

I don’t notice a difference when moving the slider.

I’m curious to see what the various aggressions souls like as I don’t use burbles.

[Marrow]

Any feed back on the multi map switching from people that have done it ?
Any niggles with the software or flashing ?

I have heard the CS/oem map is particularly strong else where

[Trevorstein]

Ok., I take it all back!!!!

I do not have any use for any fuel mixes - my main interest is playing around with the map switching (especially between CS and Stage 1) - so would any additional hardware be needed or can I just buy the OTS Stage 1 multi-map and flash it.


I am currently flashed with Stage 1, stock car - no hardware modifications.

Also, can the Anti-Lag be disabled for the OTS Stage 1 multi-map?

I re-!!!

It was just confirmed to me today by Serge @"PTF" that you Do Not have to be running an e-blend based fuel
in order to use the new MultiMap(s).

Thus, you can take part in all of the joys of the newly released On The Fly Map Switching feature but, for the
time being, only with their pre-set** maps:

> Map1: ACN91 octane
> Map2: 91 octane
> Map3: 93 octane
> Map4: CS stock power map

that at are installed within the (2) newly available MultiMap(s).


Cheers!

Am I alone in trying to patiently wait for what happened to topside's car?! Really hoping it wasn't a spun hub!

Based on the 130F20 error code, it's almost certainly a spun hub. However, it is interesting that I only have an exhaust camshaft angular offset code and not one for the intake (130E20) as well. I'm hoping that means the offset is very small and only one sensor detected the deviation.

Whether or not its actually a spun hub, I've already booked time with a BMW master tech shop and ordered all the parts to permanently fix plus some. Full VTT spline lock + CBC, VRSF charge pipe / j-pipe / down pipe, and NGK 97506 plugs.

Excellent news!!

That error code was most definitely a positive for you. Congrats!

@proTUNING Freaks

Is there way you guys can update this so that override is saved rather than have it reset every time.

That override has been implemented to reset with ignition off on purpose. While it would seem convenient to have it save, like last map slot selected, in practice it's a bad idea for this setting to be saved as it can easily be overlooked from one ignition on event/run on to another and you end up filling up on pump gas while the flex fuel tune is being told its still on full E85. It's a setting that is used as a failsafe to get yourselves home when a sensor dies, nothing more nothing less, should be used as such and with caution.

[slaughter.mode]

This anti-lag feature is incredible. Great work.

I do wish it was programmed to position two and downward instead though, especially when you're driving down a not-so-smooth road in an already rough-riding vehicle. Nothing as it is now that can't be improved over use and time, though. Maybe it's just my brain but holding it downward feels more like a natural motion for a "slingshot" effect.

[BYT_M4C]

The people that are using ALS, stock crank hub? CBC? Full hub fix?

Topside's has me nervous! (Yes, I realize Im fishing for some false confidence)

[c4ss]

Any Zeitronix ECA CAN Bus Ethanol Sensor install videos?

If anyone is, they deserve what's comin' to them. It's about as silly as riding a motorcycle without a helmet.
