Ahh, wait, I forgot: you are one of the people who live their life 1/4 mile at a time and think BMWs are drag strip sledge hammers...

I appreciate your technical knowledge, but I think you should not have negative attitude towards maps that improve overall driveability!

P.S.:
If you have a chance, go drive a GIAC tuned car.

Add something technical to a discussion instead of bashing people. And have some respect for him since he actually knows what he's talking about.

I'd like to see you analyze a datalog for once.

Man can't wait to order my Cobb, too bad I still have to wait until June that I redeployed back to the States to order it.

Clap,

I tried the 2.00 maps as well. There are no throttle closures there. There is a different issue with the 2.00 maps that people are experiencing, including me.

In 2.00 maps, when you lift off, the car continues to accelerate under boost for half a second to a second. It is very very tricky and unpredictable, especially in city traffic. This is the reason why we all switched to 2.01 maps which have throttle closures and the car feels as if it has an ON-OFF switch.

I remember distinctly asking you if you were experiencing the same issue in two different threads, but you never responded.

[135iNewb]

For those who dont like the sluggishness of v1 or v2, try the plan 2.02 93 map. It feels just like 2.01 but without the jerkiness I felt before.

...just my opinion. I'm happy, thanks Cobb.

I do have respect for his technical knowledge and I already said that many times. I just don't like it when a few people here who know that they are more technically savvy than the rest of the general population (including me) try to dictate what people should expect out of their cars.

I can see how it is a waste of time for him because all he wants is Stage 2 and ATPro software from Cobb. He does not give a shit about how our cars drive and feel.

So no, it is not a waste of time for us who want proper throttle control.

The only problem I have experienced with cobb is the stage 1 part, its slow lol compared to waht I was used to. No off throttle acc, no throttle closures, no surges, no install issues.

Actually there is ONE issue, I can't seem to get the 1/4 mile feature to work, it simply stops reading after 60 feet every single time. I hope cobb doesnt read this, cause they will probablay spend 2 weeks fixing it instead of getting ATR out

Agree. I have switched to 2.02, 93 octane now and like it better. Very smooth, not as aggressive as 2.01, but still lot of fun!!!

Didnt I ask if I should waste MY time with these maps? You can do whatever you want. The question was directed at cobb. Very simply, was the wot load changed, aka is the car faster/slower with these new maps. A simply yes/no would save me the hassle of datalogging and fiding out myself lol.

...so you're saying you want us to focus on the 1/4 mile feature on the AP next?

Sense of humor ftw?
btw, i was pressing the wrong button the whole time....it works. I swear

[TiAg335i]

v202 seems like it will be better for longevity of the turbos in the long run for a daily driver. you aren't running that much boost with daily driving as you would be with v201....someone correct me if im wrong...

You shouldng say proper throttle control as its subjective.

Personally, I think 2.01 is spot on. I can control the power perfectly with very little movement on the petal, I only need about 2 inches to get the job done (insert dick size joke). Others may like the whole damn petal, I sure dont. I tried the new maps today, but the more agressive map (it does what cobb says, extends the throttle through the whole petal movement) but its irritating to me and sill to use 4-5 inches movement.

[deltalima0]

I'm running an 07 auto with the new 202 v2 93 octane aggressive tune and i like it damn feels strong.
I have more grunt low on this vs 201 and i thought 201 93 octane was strong this is even better imo. Definitely like and no surge experienced so far.

[MikesBMW]

ugh, i wish i could switch between 2.01 and 2.02 v2 on the fly, that would be sickkkk, i feel like 2.01 is what an "M" button would be like and 2.02 v2 is great for just regular driving

[Tuner1984]

Help!!! I am reinstalling the Cobb. However, when I try to reinstall it it stays at the scanning maps page forever and doesn't do anything or show me what maps I have. Any clues?

[ZTUNER]

I don't understand what the fuss is all about. 201 was twitchy, now 202 is slugish? Personally i like the large throttle opening from less pedal of 201, makes the car feel faster like quicker steering . I have to agree with clap - ATR please. I can tune it myself. Just downloaded all the maps. Does anyone have link to the old 200 maps ? I am a map collector and would like to hold on to them

[momstmg78]

I loaded the 2.02 regular map tonight will update my experience tomorrow.

Do not worry, that one is filed away as a cosmetic bug We do prioritize tasks based on demand and on meeting goals we've set or stated. Sometimes that's addressing bugs or complaints, sometimes that's adding additional functionality. It looks like Rob (I don't think he sleeps) has also found a solution for the 135's with the "cruise control delete mod" feature (I swear, it's worth 5whp, but apparently some people like functional cruise control ) which will be released as part of another future update that we're working on. Now that 2007 support is working well and these v202 maps are finally out the door (sorry), we've got a few lil things tidy up and then it's back to the grindstone on additional features and Stage support.

Thanks guys.

Cheers-
Lance

Tuner- could be low voltage- do you have a charger or another battery you can hook up with? I presume you loaded the latest firmware when you went to 2.01.

[Tuner1984]

I had a battery charger on the car. It's shows 12.4 volts. I also did update to the latest firmware. I uninstalled it tonight just to see if I would have any problems uninstalling since I was one of the few who had issues installing the Cobb. Uninstalling went fine. However, when I try to reinstall it nothing happens . My car is completely stock now outside of intake and DV!! Feels so slow I will try and hook the car up the regular way tomorrow to another car let it run for a few minutes then try and install it.

[lawwailok]

i just loaded the new ACN V2 maps, gonna burn some gas off my tank in an hour =)

COBB Tuning is happy to announce the release of revised Stage1 maps for all BMW AccessPORTs. These new v2.02 maps feature slight revisions to fuel, boost and ignition tuning as well as alternate maps with different throttle calibrations to suit a wider range of drivers. In addition, ACN91 (Arizona, California, Nevada) calibrations have also been added to support users in these states using the blend of 91 octane fuels particular to these states.

Throttle Mapping

Based on user feedback, COBB Tuning has released 2 versions of each calibration with more linear throttle mapping. All maps are available with standard throttle mapping as well as the new v1 and v2 linear throttle mapping. The v2 calibrations offer a more aggressive accelerator pedal feel and may be more suitable for 6MT-equipped cars. The v1 calibrations are less aggressive and may be more suitable for automatic vehicles, however, both calibrations are safe to use on all transmission types.

Map Revisions

Boost levels, fueling and ignition timing have been revised to improve performance and reduce ECU intervention over driver inputs. Torque and load limits have also been altered to allow for significantly increased power levels over stock. The speed limiter has been raised to a maximum value of 198.4mph (ECU limit). The rev-limiter has been raised to 7,200RPM for 91 and 93 octane maps, only.

ACN91 Mapping

ACN91 octane calibrations have been added to further support users in Arizona, California and Nevada. These states use a specific blend of 91 octane that has been shown to perform below standard 91 octane. Users in these states are strongly encouraged to use the ACN91-specific calibrations.

These newest calibrations are available right now from the COBB Tuning BMW Map Database. For more detailed information on maps and revisions, please consult the BMW Stage1 Map Notes or call COBB Tuning at 1-866-922-3059.

When you say " Strongly Encourage to use the ACN91 tune " what exactly does this mean?
I'm in Socal and I just installed your 91 tune and the car runs like a bandit but I need to know if it's safe enough to keep running it and if I don't install the new version, what could happen?
As soon as I get back from vaction, I plan to change to ACN91.
