inpa makes me want to walk infront of a bus. Tried it once while troubleshooting my 325xi that had severe electrical damage/corrosion and it drove me mad.

I just hate to buy something, then have to pay the manufacturer every year for the privlege to continue using it. In 10 years they have $600 of my money, no thanks. It would be one thing if they charged for major updates with new features every few years. It didn't use to have an annual fee. Personally, I use E-Sys for coding and it codes stuff Carly can't, plus it will update ECU versions. I use Rheingold for diagnoses. |

You are right tho, long term use of carly will end up costing me a stupid amount of money. I will probably look into upgrading to the more capable stuff down the line, but for now I am happy with it. I dump so much money into the cars, $60 bucks is a tank of gas so I am not loosing my mind over it. But again, long term it will add up. Any updates on the situation btw?

Quick update:
So I have not had the chance to take the vehicle to the dealer, or get my hands on looking the engine over. But since we have put about 2 tank fulls of fresh 93 octane through her, she defiantly feels better. Must have been just bad gas, or low quality/octane fuel the dealer put in it. I will say that she isnt as torquey as I was expecting, but she does go well up top. I did get the sport gauges up and monitored Hp/Tq and they both were registering right around 300 from what I could tell. I will say that I like this little vehicle very much and am already thinking 3 years down the road to when we trade this in on the M40i version But I will most likely wait till the warranty runs out and throw a stg 1 tune on her in the mean time. Thanks for all the input guys and gals |

I put the burger stage 1 on my wife's and it made a modest but noticeably fun difference.

Sport mode, sport mode, sport mode. Regular is just ECo because of the MONUMENTAL throttle lag and then sudden harsh delivery. Sport is a million times better and she hustles.

Quick update for everyone.
A few months ago I flashed xhp because it removes or bumps some of the torque limiters in certain gears. Little bit of an improvement in roll on response. Then just a few weeks ago I decided to just do it! So I flashed MHD stg 1, huge improvement! The response and drivability is how this car should have been stock, it actually feels like a turbo inline 6 cyl...finally!!!! |
