Greetings, I have an M54b30 and I've been having an issue with the car behaving sluggish once reaching operating temperature, there's a night and day difference with torque output between driving it within the first 10 minutes of start up (when still running cold) and then once at operating...

Hey everyone! I just bought an E46 but the car can’t go over 110-120km/h like it should normally. I don’t think the car is in limp mode because it reaches 4000RPM but the engine struggles and I can hear the turbo but just sometimes not all the times when reving. The previous owner said the car...

I'm using INPA 5.0.6 and i can access airbags, aircon, kombi, but I can't access engine ECU. Group file D_0012, D_motor IFH-0009 No response from control unit Program will be stopped UPDATE turned out to be faulty cable

Hello, i have been trying to solve this issue for a few days, reading the Bentley manual and scowering through forums but have not crashed in to a solution. The car in question, a 2000 330xi wagon, automatic, has been sitting for five weeks, started every second week. Now, at the latest start...

so I have a 03 325i that has headers and intake, Nothing crazy. I do have a ECU tune that I bought from rev match motorsport ($350) but it’s only stage one bare minimum. This summer I’m swapping my motor for the s54b30 and would like to be able to tune that ECU but don’t want to buy another tune...

Is there a way to reprogram the DSC software so that its not such a buzzkill? I love my 2002 M3 and appreciate the electronic nanny that kicks in every now and then, but dang- it feels way too immediate and brute. Any ECU flash/mods to address this? Thank you!

I recently just finished rebuilding and turbocharging my s54 in my 2002 e46 m3 and i am looking for a solution for engine management. The first thing i looked at was the aem infinity for the e46 m3 but after contacting multiple distributors it seems like the jumper harness was discontinued...

Hello everyone. Continuing the saga on my e46 323ci shaking. I've came across this wonderful video by 50sKid showing how to diagnose engine problems using fuel trims. As the maniac i am, i followed every step just as described in the video, same adapter and software, and got the following...

I got a 320d recently with no key(it had been lying up 6 years). long story short I have tried two ECU/EWS packs in it. In on position no voltage going to small black poles of starter but when I cross the starter it starts instantly and runs fine. Getting 8V on the large red pole and 12v when I...

Hello everyone. My father's 320d started acting weirdly. He took the car to a shop and they told him that the ECU was done and that the only solution was a swap, so here i am asking for your wisdom once again. Lets assume that the shop is right. Which im not sure about. As i've been reading...

Hi all, 2002 E46 330ci SMG with 117k on it. Got the 3 lights on the dash (ABS/DSC/h-brake), so I try to scan the car to find out the issue: Hmm... strange... a generic OBD cannot read the car? Goes to a local garage to use his LAUNCH system... no connection. Visit BMW specialists (Prestige...

So I will try and make this a short post as there is lots of small details. Recently swapped an M54B30 into my 325i. It was running well with the B25 injectors and MAF and ECU. Last weekend I swapped the B30 injectors and maf and had Balidawg Reprogram the ECU. The car idles well but under...

I'm working on a 2002 manual 325Ci and I've misplaced the only key. I'm doing a swap to a 97k miles 3.0L among other things. Brakes, interior etc... Plan is to start the engine swap in the next few weeks. Already replaced all the goodies you'd do with the engine out. I have a donor 2003...

Hello everyone, I recently swapped engines from 325ci to 330ci (m54b25 to m54b30) and need help reflashing my DME I have WinKFP downloaded on my computer but it doesn't seem to recognize my car. No ECU options come up when i try to select one. The screen is just blank. Is there something else i...

Fellow E46 enthusiasts I have a 2004 320i MSport with ~138k on the dial. It was running like a dream until a few months back when one morning it began shuddering and I could smell burning plastic through the vents... Quick call to my mechanic had me soon having the ECU rebuilt (which...

Alright, so I currently have a new cluster in. orange break light and DSC light are on and I still can not figure out how to turn it off. I have swapped the m35050 chip from the original board to the new board, so the VIN matches and have reset the Steering angle sensor by going from lock to...

I have a quiet but annoying interior noise. Sound like crickets. On start up and sometimes while driving. I am convinced it's the ECU Fan (firewall near your left foot when driving). The noise isn't bad but if it's failing that's I presume a bad thing as I don't want my ECU to overheat. Has...
