Cobb hasn't posted a new chart with the updated 135. You're still looking at the one that is "suffering" from their calibration issues.

That's they was it was on subys too.

That was the updated dyno for the 135.

edit: Damn, Clap135 called you out first...

Any update on the XI testing

new2the3 · 01-07-2011, 09:23 AM

will this tune work out of the box in high altitude (7500+ ft)?? Will there be a special map for high altitude or will it require a custom dyno tune?

I just threw him an option for us XI owners....hopefully he's willing to go that route and if he does all of us should have killer maps soon!

We need all the Dynos we can get with this tune.

The base hp on the stock 135 was a lot higher than the posted 335I numbers. That could easily be accounted for simply from the differences from car to car. The gains would be different from day to day too. The 335I could have been run in Austin on an 80 degree day in October, the 135 yesterday in the morning when it was 40.

What we need is people to dyno their cars before and after the tune, that is only numbers I trust personally.

Agreed. I have a bone-stock 2008 335i that I'm willing to volunteer for this test. I live five minutes from COBB in Austin, Texas?

COBB - Sound like a plan?

It is rather cold this weekend I might add.

I just turned in the N54...now I have a N55 and have to wait.

Hopefully it won't be too long--this looks like a great option for people like me, aka a mechanical retard. Plug it into the port and go....awesome.

Here is the answer in a nutshell:

The issue with the xi cars... well not really an issue.. they only tested it out on 1 335xi and that car had some driving issues ... but because no other tuner has any issues with an xi (it doesnt differ at all that would cause it to) it most likely was the car itself.. they just need another xi to load it on to and make sure thats what it was. It 99% was not a tune related issue but the issue the car unrelated. So we are waiting for them to test another xi car or 2. Problem is, not many xi 335s in texas..

Thanks!

Fyi. New development. Shiv' repsonded to my asking why he and Terry (aka Mike) were so silent on all of this. I predicted what Shiv' said below in another thread right after he announced vin locking in v5. It looks like flash tuning options may become more readily available as 2011 goes on.

Not to mention that we can get more performance and flexibility out of the Procede without coding. So I'm not sure what the debate is. So my silence has nothing to do with what you refer to. But rather a desire to wait and see. This is one charge that I don't want to lead. Especially when there is no upside where the rubber hits the road.

When might the AccessPORT be available for the N54s with the MSD85 DME (Z4 sDrive35is, 335is and the forthcoming 1 Series M Coupe)?

As I understand it, the tune in these three models -- each of which has a 7-second overboost feature -- are very similar except that the 1M will have an M Drive button sharpening throttle response.

Thanks.

Neil

P.S. I promise not to ask this question more than once a day

I brought mine in yesterday with no issues. I returned it to "Map 0" before dropping it off so they could replace a trim piece and do an oil change but I didn't expect them to do any more than reset the OCI counter.

Cool things with this is ability to log..although didn't see what could be logged anywhere..maybe missed that link?

No 07 support? That isn't good. Pretty much every flash out there does support 07.

I think they will find that most people with 2007's are very eager to mod as most are coming out of warranty if they aren't CPO.

Should be a big market there.

Go back and look for my posts to see details on this. '07 cars require a different firmware revision which is currently in the works.

UltraRacer13 · 01-07-2011, 10:51 AM

Imp- Did anyone else show up last night? I would have loved to come. Thanks for taking the lead on this!

Thanks! gstno1 and 4DR Assassin showed up last night and saw the dyno as well as a little map-switching demonstration. They're going to do this again next month.

Doh! Apologies!

That said, it's not that far off from the 335 run, so I'm still not sure what you're after. I wouldn't be surprised at that difference between two same-year 335s

But East coast guys tend to get the shaft when it comes to local tuning houses. I can only think of CP-E off the top of my head.

They aren't all over the Midwest either.
