It's straight forward. Everything is free, so not sure if you've followed that thread.

Once you have the maps just unzip to your USB stick and pop it in the glovebox. Car does everything else for you

The file they sent me has 6 files said somethign about unzipping only one and the rest would follow but no go. Maybe I'll try just one file and put that on the jump drive. Does it do it on its own once it's in the usb slot in glove box?

Once you unzip the first one, it should create a folder. Unzip the other files into that folder. You need to be sure that the thumb drive is formatted as FAT32 before copying it there.

This may help-

In the navigation sub forums, really good write up in one thread, 2021 maps are on a separate thread.

Here’s my current update

Hello people, this is as good a place as any to start, I am preparing for a Heart Transplant and need a E90 2005 330i iDrive Controller have a surgeon in mind for the job but need to find a compatible heart,

how would one go and do that for a car of my standing.

Please advise...

Buug959 · 11-15-2020, 03:35 PM

I just got home from dropping my car off for it's winter storage. Now I can start collecting parts instead of spending money on gas just having fun driving around all the time.

BSM n54iS · 11-15-2020, 07:50 PM

ECS vacuum hose relocation. FINALLY no more having to deal with or even look at that stupid hard plastic line running across the engine bay.

Replaced the only control arm bushing on each side of the E46's weird suspension system. The press has already paid for itself by now lol. Also somehow everyone manages to get these into the arm by hand, I had to use a spring compressor tool.

colorado.e9x · 11-15-2020, 10:19 PM

Added some temporary oil and coolant to the project to start it up. Gas too of course. It started up like nothing and damn does it sound good. I never realized I needed a PE till now. Also the OFHG is non existent as it was quite visibly seeping. Good thing it's already on its way here

3PedalJake · 11-15-2020, 10:43 PM

Cleaned up dis and dat while waiting on parts.

What did you use to seal the lights to protect them from UV?

E92William · 11-16-2020, 01:51 PM

Just got ISTA+ working. Needless to say the e46 isn't lacking in the fault code department. Though I think the e92 will outdo it lol

I haven't sprayed them yet but I have a can of Meguiar's "Keep Clear" Headlight Coating waiting for them and the headlights.

3PedalJake · 11-16-2020, 04:51 PM

Dropped the front subframe with my motorsickle jack, started cleaning it up while it was still a bit light out. Water pump, thermostat, AC compressor, PS pump and oil pan gasket on deck.

Twix · 11-16-2020, 10:57 PM

Found these on my doorstep, threw them on

get the e91 from the 7 months summer storage.

- low air in tires
- few codes from a disconnected battery (abs, 4x4, check engine)
- rusty brakes.

Run the car for few miles, all gone. Gotta love those ''auto fix cars''

But I have a LOT of smoke coming from the exhaust flange (cat/exhaust flange)

Looks like its coming from under the pipe, like if oil leaked on the exhaust. Checked my drive way, no oil stain ! Im guessing the valve cover is dripping on the cats...

Don't worry about it. It'll be fine. You got one of those rare option "auto fix cars".

hopefully lol.

5w40 oil + lucas oil stabilizer + re-tight over specs valve cover bolt ( like 1/8''-1/4'' of a turn, actually they were pretty easy to turn , asking myself if they not loosen with vibration) + cold weather

I dont feel like to do the gasket right now, I did the ofhg and the valvetronic gasket, will see if oil was coming from there first.

oh, I also put this :
