BMW Shut Down THOR

The large THOR thread has gone "missing" and after talking with Bimmer-Connect it appears as though BMW has gone after THOR and that is why the app is no longer available to use. They did say they are in talks with BMW to try and resolve.

Yeah this seems strange. I would think they would go after tuning platforms like bootmod3 over THOR.

Broken my car and provided zero support where I had to pay kubax86 to fix it.

Everyone that had no issues liked the app, those of us that had issues know how non existent and slow their CS was. All of us with a bugged flash eventually got ghosted by them, good riddance.

Well that's pretty unfortunate. I had purchased the Dynamic package maybe a month ago and haven't had a chance to activate it but stories like yours, plus that it's unavailable now, makes me regret my choice.

From what I heard they bricked a bunch of cars and ghosted. Carly/Bimmercode/MHD/BM3/and custom coders are where its at-thor always seemed like an Instagram company that just pushed junk.

This is BS, I purchased their flash and really like the dynamic package, I do see that the app is still active on my phone but I have not tried to make any changes because I don't want any issues, sad thing is I made a purchase that gave me the ability to flash at anytime so I'm assuming I just lost my money 🤷🏽*♂️

I just had kubax86 recode my diff, DSC, and steering as i had coded it via THOR in the past, and asked him to verify it was coded correctly. Turns out THOR coded my DCT correctly to the CS flash, but my diff and DSC were coded to F87 M2 flash, and steering wasn't flashed at all. If you had previously coded through Thor, I would reach out to Kubax and have him verify and code everything correctly

I bought it from the Apple store but Apple Support is not recognising the purchases from Thor Flasher. Is there any other avenue to get my money back? Didnt use Paypal for this. I used VISA

Do you think Thor is going to refund everyone? If they can't work a deal out with BMW then I am sure they will declare bankruptcy and we are SOL

You can go that route if you bought it within the last 60 days or so (each credit card will be different). Anything past that time frame and we are going to be screwed if they can't come to agreement with BMW

Ok - I will bite. What did Kubax charge to do this? My car was modified by THOR with no problems, but I also have no way to change it anymore
