N52B25 to N52B30 problems

To be honest, I strongly recommend bimmergeeks protool for this. It's so much simpler than NCS. NCS blows my mind!

So you need to set the new engine type in the VO in CAS and FRM, then default code the car so that all other modules are updated accordingly. That should solve your immediate issues with the DME.

Do you have the complete NCS Expert can be send it to me? I can pm you 🥲

Well, bimmergeeks' downloads are no longer available, all these program were found in those hidden free communities, or else I would never be able to get these tools😭

Protool is on the android play store. It's not free, though...

What if I use ista+ to code? NCX Expert is kinda~ dunno what to say🤣. I have been studying that application for like a complete whole day, but still don't really know how it work.

You can't code an E series vehicle with ISTA D or + You need ISTA P for that which is a completely different program. NCS expert is pretty easy once you are familiar with it.

This is why I use protool. I don't use NCS often enough to remember how it works, and I really dont have the time/energy to learn every time.

I'd message bimmergeeks support and ask if protool can change the power class. If it can, then you pay for the software (permanent license), your problem is fixed and you always have that software for diagnostics or coding in future. Well worth it IMO.

NZE90 · 11-15-2024, 02:08 PM

I've just read the whole thread on this. The bad news is you can't change the powerclass in the DME with NCS expert or Protool or any other program that i know of.

What file did you use to flash your DME? Did you flash the Bimmerlabs RSA delete first?

When i did my 323i to 325i DME flash, i had to use the RSA delete first.

Vinboo · 11-16-2024, 12:00 PM

*Latest Update*

I had check my CAS powerclass, it's stated as klasses 2. After that, I changed my DME's powerclass to wert_2 and also speed governor to wert_2 as well( based on DMW Doctor's video). During my check on the CAS file, I found out that my engine registered is N52B25 and so I changed it to N52B30 (I had engine swapped to 3.0l on August).

After all these had been done using NCS Expert:
DME=> Powerclass =2, Speed Governor =2
CAS=> Engine Model = N52B30

But the car still has no power. What should I do next guys. I had tried everything I can😭😭

Yes i did, processes during my tune was:
Step 1: Run a RSA_Delete on it.
Step 2: Run 328i_to_330i tune.
Step 3: Cycle the ignition on and off.

After I through these processes and Tah Dah~ I got shXt now. 🥲

This is above my pay grade now unfortunately. There is a guy on this forum from Australia who would know what to do. Cheerio is his username. He hasn't logged on to this site since June. You could try to PM him.

Vinboo · Yesterday, 01:45 AM

Sure, I had pm him.

Another question is, what steps and which file should I use if i wanted to flash it back to stock? Or is there anyone have the 325i to 330i .bat flash tune file? If you are willing to pm me your vin number, I can download it myself as well🥹🥹

Have a read of his posts in this thread. You might be able to pick up some good information from his posts possibly.

Yeah, I hadn't realised how far above my pay grade this is...

Also try contacting @hassmaschine and @rjahl

Or register on MHH auto forum and ask there.

Vinboo · Yesterday, 11:22 AM

Sure, I will PM them as well.

Other than that, I had studied on quite a few forum about stock tunefile. I am still very confuse about if I were to flash the Bimmerlab stock tune into my car, should I run the RSA Delete file first, or I should just proceed for the stock file directly?
