1. We dont know what is the exact outcome of these notes. 2. Yes all tunes or engine mods are detectable. But also nobody has said that if they reverted their DME back to stock. And this simple check found it right away? I know first hand which was already posted that dealers know everything about your car, too speed, driving habits. Just how far do they want to dig into the past is the question.

Carbahn tune w/factory warranty retention
It doesn't seem like there are any posts on the forum from anyone who has pulled the trigger on the Carbahn tune. So In case, anyone else is interested in the Carbahn tune - I figured I'd post my 0-60 Dragy times before and after.
I am happy with the results given it's a more conservative tune. The car is noticeably faster when I just punch it from a roll. However, I am a little disappointed that the burbles/crackles/pops disappeared when the tune was installed. The car also doesn't launch as hard as it used to as seen by the increase in the 0-10 time. The total cost with the warranty option installed at my local dealer was $1934. [IMG]file:///C:/Users/Colby/Downloads/image1.png[/IMG] [IMG]file:///C:/Users/Colby/Downloads/image0.png[/IMG] |

But the options for loud burbles and start ups to flashing to a quiet ride or different tune is available with a on the fly flash which takes 1-2 min via app. Can you go back to stock or change maps with your setup

Another option is to buy a second DME - they are easy e light to get out of the car. That way you can get it coded to your vin and a tube applied, and just swap your OG one back before a dealer visit

Not sure that would work very well considering the mileage would be different when swapping modules, especially with a DME. I would not go about doing this. It is possible you could get a manipulation dot on the instrument cluster by doing this.

What year is your X3? What are you impressions about smoothness while driving normally now? |

The car seems just as smooth when driving normally just a bit more of a boost surge when you put your foot down. Also, I reached out to CarBahn regarding the lack of overrun. I guess that was a mishap on their part and they're going to add it back for me. |
