Question... If you flash back to stock for dealer service and have downpipes installed, will you throw a CEL?

Using a dongle such as this:

Did you try it?

Typically you want to drive approximately 50 miles after flashing and locking to stock. You will get a CEL but you can clear with BM3 before service. CEL only pops up after 20 miles or so. Just clear the code at the dealership parking lot and you'll have no issues. If you don't have the wifi agent device bring your laptop and connect to the dealership wifi and clear.

Perfect. Thank you!

anyone knows what this "Exhaust Flap delay time for activation of after start" map does pls? how does it affect the engine start sound?

i quite like the cold start sound from ZCP from factory which makes the car sound special and aggressive (the car usually doesnt make the same sound after the engine is warmed up a bit though). does this map have anything to do to this cold start sound?

btw the standard value of this map is "0.5000".

Are you able to lower the rpm limit?
Since power drops off and maybe to minimize sch risk.

Has anyone had any problems with clearing codes recently? I had an ABS warning pop up this morning, problem cleared itself after restarting the car (idrive warning disappeared and check control showed no faults). I checked the codes in the BM3 diagnostic screen and listed a few faults to do with the front wheel speed sensor, BM3 won't clear them though. I click on clear get the screen pop up saying 'clearing codes', but they don't go away. Any tips?

i had same issue earlier in the week, but the codes did clear, without any additional interaction, in the next drive. try to shut down the car, let it sleep (wait a few minutes), then restart. check codes again

Just to update..

I was away from the car for a few hours and when I went back and plugged BM3 in to read them and try to clear them again they were already gone. Not sure if that's usual when clearing codes (needing to turn car off for a bit etc) but glad they are away now

Are guys using the Online Recode?

Does anyone have a recommendation for me where to buy a bm3 license? I can hardly find vendors in europe

Same question from me.

I'd prefer to have a SCH safe tune.

Lower RPM redline, lower RPM shift points, maybe even slightly lower boost at the last 200rpms before DCT shift. Also a safer DCT downshift when under full boost such as kickdown.

CS tune with downpipes is already plenty fast enough that I don't need to be in the red zone for SCH risks.

I looked at link and impressed by the numbers.

If I decide on any of the tunes leaning towards cs/ca+ can my f80 m3 base midelbe stock besides intakes and run safe as a Daly driver ?

What are the concerns or pre maintince should I be doing ?

Had update next to Stage1 map about a week ago, flashed it and went for a run out , it was down on hp showing on the Awron than what it was showing although boost was still the same and torque down a little.Dont want to write out a ticket yet as when i got home tonight I decided i was going to reduce max revs down to 7200, with all the crap about the SCH.Anyway there was another update next to the Stage1 map again, anyone throw any light on it, i doubled clicked on it to see if it would give any info , but it never.Thanks.

How do you edit the ots maps and reduce things like max revs etc?

Click on a map, then click configure at top right hand corner
