I thought you had some tire slippage at MT shifts with Nittos. Perhaps you heat them better or V3 has less torque than V1 or both.

Updated the new "Stage 1" map/firm, butter smooth indeed on 6AT. Big improvement IMO. Great job Vishnu and e90AW335i.

Glad you like it! All the props go to Shiv for designing the new firmware. All I did was tell him what would be nice on an AT....

[Driver72]

Shiv, let me see if I got this straight:

With the Beta v3 maps released 7-11 if you load up
Stage 0 map and have NOT hooked up the map switcher you are driving around with the Doomsday map and can not switch to the non-doomsday map?
Is that correct?

Now, once these maps are no longer in the "beta" stage and become v3.1 you will not incorporate the Map1 and Map2 together but have them separated so customers who have not hooked up the remote map switcher can just simply upload the Doomsday or Non-Doomsday map on their own and it will always be on that choosen map?
Is that correct?

I have Nitto 555R 245/45 17s.

Nope, I heat them real good now. I was struggling a bit in the past trying to get them to the perfect temp, but now I'm fine--even with the peg leg.



Back on topic... is the reason for this thread mainly for ATs or will I notice any benifits with my manual?
I'm just curious if I should switch.

Everything you said is correct except the bolded part. If you dont have the map switcher hooked up the PROcede will default to Map 2 which is the non-doomsday map.

Thanks again man, that was a blast. Probably the most fun I've had in a car since the Nurburgring...

Just installed it on the 6MT and love it. It feels very smooth and the car has a quite a bit more low end than before. (was running a doomsday Map 2 before)

I'd like to get some feedback from someone that was running the regular Map 2 before. That's what I'm running now.

I've been V3'd since beta, so I've run all the maps shiv has put out. It feels similar to the early V3 maps but a LOT smoother, no more dips in the power and much stronger on the top end. The car has never felt better than it does right now. (Started with early V3, then went to doomsday, now running the V81 compatible wiring with a non-doomsday map)

Remember that if you flash to the maps Shiv posted, you'll need firmware too. If you want to go back to the map you're running now, make sure you have the firmware you're running backed up.

I just tried the Stage 1 map on my non-MSD81 (and have dual cones) and it feels great. Feels smooth and seems to pull harder all around.

Ditto all of the above. And I have Vishnu exhast too. Since I loaded the new beta stg 1 map from a couple days ago my exhaust tone pulsates 4-5 times per second.

Car runs great. Always sounded good before. Now between 2500 and 5000 (or more) rpm it does this weird pulsing thing. It seems to pull smooth. Just sounds funny. (exhaust timing maybe ???). Anyone else ?

Shouldn't you run stage 0 if you are not running a open element air filter? I thought stage 1 maps were for people who are not running the stock air box.

Re-read the bolded section.

are you sure about this? I asked shiv this question in the past and he said firmwares are designed to be backwards compatible...

I don't know about this.
Maybe it's only the case with V3 maps, but I'll guarantee that if you want to go back to V2, and you are currently running the PNP V3 then there is no way that it will work.

You always have to reload the appropriate firmware to go with a certain map.

that is obvious... I wasn't talking about that scenario. I guess it all depends on what types of revisions are done that will determine the backwards compatibility of the firmware.

[Eliminator]

I'm waiting for the 09 335i with (obviously) MSD V81, can someone confirm if the PROcede V3 is detectable, with a fair amount of certainty? With all else stock, what can I expect in terms of HP and TQ? Do I have to run Non-Doomsday only for non-detectability? THX! Great thread.

[scalbert]

Hrmm, been running the new firmware and maps for a couple of days now. While it is smooth, I am not sure I am in agreement with the boost to throttle mapping; it may be a bit too aggressive for me. There is more boost with less throttle than the previous iteration leaving little to nothing left when 100% throttle is applied.

[scalbert]

And yes, always install the appropriate firmware to for a specific map. There are far too many variables to account for not to take the extra minute to load the firmware.
