So after some driving I can do the first recap.

The car is really fast now, unbelievable what is possible with some software.

But I did notice one thing, when I go WOT in a high gear 5th or 6th at low speed (~40 MPH/70kmh) the car is rumbling/shaking a bit. Also it doesn't sound so healthy. Can somebody give me an explanation?

Normal behavior because of the higher torque?

And yeah, the datalog did not work, I have no idea why. I have the default Datalog list enabled. I select "Data Log" and press Enter, thats it.
I just recorded 2 logs with about 2 seconds of data. I will try again later but that was really strange.

And also the Speed Delimiter is working....

That's not good for the drivetrain, as you have the highest stress on the transmission components if you do that.

You have to press "OK" twice actually, only then will it to start datalogging. I also made that mistake first time round. When you scroll down to the menu point "Datalog", press OK for the first time, which is when you'll get the next screen telling you to press OK again in order to datalog. If you then press OK for the second time, the AP will start datalogging.

ok, the sound and feeling is only because of the high torque.

Maybe, I didn't spend too much time looking at the AP while WOT.
I will give it a trial run and see if its recording and then I go back on the Autobahn.

Oktoberfest and Autobahn the 2 best things about Germany!

Autobahn, Oktoberfest, Hofbrauhaus =

lorddrinkalot · 06-15-2012, 09:51 AM

So i did a trial for the log, here on my way to the supermarket. The Data Collection did work, I got all the stuff in a CSV, nothing special normal cruising.
But I can't use the Excel Datagraph? Could it be because I did the log in metric scales?

I get an error in excel with the Charge Air Temp. And in my case its in Celsius?

@benzy89:
Well Hofbräuhaus is not that special. Only Tourist's go there.

Haha it is a tourist trap, but I just went for the liter beers. Love the Dunkel & it's really hard to get here in the States. Best food I had in Germany was pork shoulder in Nürnberg

Probably, revert to default settings

lorddrinkalot · 06-15-2012, 11:10 AM

Yeah "Schäufele" in Nürnberg is awesome.

Yep tourist trap, especially for Japanese tourist. They always get the quick and dirty version. 1 Beer, 1 Weißwurscht, 1 Picture with a guy in "Lederhosen", 1 traditional song from the band + they have to sing as well and all of that in 10 minutes.

hehe

@enrita:
ok I will do that.

Another question:
Do you guys also get the Fuel pump error after flashing? I mean I get a lot of errors and messages during flashing (ABS, DTC, 4x4,...) but normally they are all gone afterwards.
But the Fuel pump stays, I have to clear it manually and then it doesn't come back!

enrita · 06-15-2012, 11:14 AM

As long as it does not come back you are fine.

I also found that if you have it on say the boost or IAT monitor, you can hit the center button to start datalogging, and then can hit it again to stop whenever you want, and rinse and repeat as often as you like. Very nice feature.

cleex024 · 06-15-2012, 12:49 PM

i wish cobb would put out 4.02 or 5.0 maps...would be nice. the 4.0 maps seem to drop in power up high...well compared to the 3.0 maps which i dont wanna use because there was a problem with mine for some reason.

igell · 06-15-2012, 01:51 PM

recently when doing a hard pool in 3rd gear i went in to limp mode.
07 335i sport/ manual
running 4.0.2beta standard (in CA)
traction control off - 1 button press.

threw codes...
P2A87 - vanos code - which one is this?
P3100
H2A15 - not sure what this is
H2FDB - not sure what this is

Is this a traction induced limp mode described here:

No idea wat this H-codes are, but P3100 & P2A87 are both VANOS related (the P3100 gets triggered automatically with any VANOS code). I actually just got both of those today & am going to try cleaning the VANOS solenoids I have in before I go and order brand new ones.

Try holding the DTC button down until you get the warning triangle, that means the traction control is 100% deactivated. IIRC when you just press the DTC, it doesn't full disable the traction control but actually just gives you a lot more freedom before it intervenes.

I keep checking everyday hoping 1+ will come out of beta.

2A15 is evaporative emissions fault. Check your fuel cap that's the most likely cause.
2FDB is a shadow software code. Its found on certain BMW software revisions and is normal, even for a stock car.

My advice is to clear the codes and see if they come back.

Deadwrong · 06-15-2012, 02:46 PM

I recently reverted back to v3.01 and I'm intermittenly receiving a yellow brake light along with the traction control off indicator. Anyone have any experience with this issue.

I got that code a couple times a few months back, I cleared the codes and it hasn't been back since. IDK if it has anything to do with the tune or not

lorddrinkalot · 06-15-2012, 03:43 PM

Hi there, so I have 3 log runs. I have no Idea which one is usable.
If i put it in the Excel Graph Generator it really gets confusing, in the Virtual Dyno it looks less complicated but still.

I attached a zip-file (rename from pdf to zip). Maybe someone can generate something useful. Or should I redo the logs only in one Gear?

lorddrinkalot · 06-15-2012, 06:47 PM

here is another one. 3rd and 4th gear. I've renamed the .csv to .txt

what do you guys think?

You need to graph(check) the timing and or timing correction channels.
