Ok, so as far as I can tell, I have a working 325i tune flashed.

Downloaded tunes for the EUR 323i, EUR 325i, USA 328i and EUR 330i, all for MSV80 HW#7602220. Wrote a script to compare the files looking for a byte that could be the powerclass. I struggled for a while, as I thought EUR 325i was powerclass 1, but apparently it's powerclass 2.

Found what seems to be the powerclass byte at 0x2191; in 323i it's 0, 328i 1, and 325i/330i both 2. Edited the byte to 0 in the 325i bin, then uploaded to Bimmerlabs account to convert to 0da. Apparently, this corrects the signature at the end of the file, because it flashed ok.

Edit: for the newer HW#8613000, the powerclass byte is instead at 0x26BA. Values for 323/325/328/330i are unchanged.

2FA4 is gone, and the car seems to make a little more power than before. I've got two codes left: one for DISA #2 being missing (I haven't installed it yet), and one 2FA3 (coding missing).

There are a few threads on here talking about 2FA3, and the consensus seems to be that it's harmless and doesn't affect performance. I'd rather fix it, though.
I tried default coding the DME with NCS Expert, but this failed, with error "COAPI-2000: Fehler in EDIABAS oder in SG-Beschreibungsdatei API-0014: Ergebnis nicht vorhanden MSV80". Found a Russian forum thread which seems to suggest this is caused by some sort of region mismatch between the VO and the ECU firmware. This makes sense, as I've got an Australian vehicle, to which I've flashed the Bimmerlabs 328i RSA delete firmware (which presumably is for US vehicles). I suspect I'll need an RSA delete firmware for EUR vehicles, which doesn't seem to be available right now. Is this mismatch going to cause any performance issues?
Edit: 2FA3 was fixed after programming with ISTA-P

Seeing as the tune is working, I'll attach my powerclass-edited 325i tune here. To use it:

1. log into Bimmerlabs
2. make a project with a 328i VIN to get the RSA delete firmware
3. make another project for your Australian 323i
4. unzip then upload the attached bin using the "Upload New Custom File" dialog
5. download the generated custom 0da from the Custom Files section and flash it

Hopefully this helps my fellow Australians with 2008+ 323i!

Nice work mate. Thanks.

This worked perfectly on my 323i in Japan. Thanks lots.

Well, it seems like the DME update to 325i was successful but my auto 323i still shifts at 6.5k rpm.
I'm guessing that the actual rev limit and shift timing are two different parameter, on DME and TCU accordingly.
My 323i came with infamous GM trans so guessing there aren't much I can do about it, but wanna know if anyone has possible solutions for the situation.
I already updated the TCU to ZB 7578269.

Maybe getting a ZB from an actual 325i with the higher hp from factory?

spent some time looking for the vin code with GM trans (but rather rare) and found 328i with GM trans. Code was NL56528.

My 323i currently runs on
HW# 7576679A.0pa ZB#7578269.0da

328i got
HW# 7568553A.0pa ZB#7585087.0da

328i got
HW# 7568553A.0pa ZB#7585087.0da

So i tried to run ZB#7585087.0da after HW# 7576679A.0pa but it failed.
I simply re-flashed ZB#7578269.0da.

How can I get around it?

To flash my transmission, I edited the model code in the VO from 323i (PG76) to 325i (PH12), then ran ISTA-P in expert mode, ignoring the requests to replace some modules.

Took quite a while, and needed to reflash the ECU tune after, but it worked.

Do you have the ZF or GM trans in yours? I still haven't flashed mine. I have an ICOM now so will be doing it soon.

is there any detailed instructions on it?

GM trans. Both the ZF and GM were used in both the 323i and 325i, so you should be able to flash either.

There's probably some straightforward way to do the flash in WinKFP, but I couldn't figure that out. Assuming you have a working ISTA-P install, here are the approximate steps I went through:
0. First you will need to edit your VO, so when ISTA-P reads it, it will think you have a 325i. There's some VO editing guides on e90post already. Use RealOEM to find the model code for your car, and the model code for the car you want to edit it to. In my case (323i/325i/Australia), this was PG76 (323i) and PH12 (325i). So I just needed to remove $PG76 from my VO and replace it with $PH12.
1. Once VO editing is done and written to vehicle, start up ISTA-P, connect to vehicle, select "exclude modules" (this will avoid flashing the head unit)
2. ISTA-P will complain about some modules needing replacement (I assume they're different between 323i and 325i). I just checked the boxes telling ISTA-P that I'd already replaced these modules, and then ended the operation.
3. Restarted the ISTA-P session, resumed the previous saved session, and used expert mode to edit the action plan. Just made sure that the EGS was getting flashed. Then ran the action plan.
4. Car should now be back in limp mode, because the unedited 325i tune has been flashed by ISTA-P. I just ran the Bimmerlabs flash script for my edited tune again, and all was working.

I've only got K+DCAN Cable from bimmergeeks so there's no way I assume?

It's fine to do it with a bimmergeeks cable. Any other cable with brick the trans control unit EGS.

This is mostly correct. The issue is with the buggy firmware used on most of the no-name cables. I managed to softbrick my EGS when I first tried flashing it, but soldering an AVR programmer to the cable’s debug header and replacing the firmware (https://github.com/uholeschak/ediaba...CAN_adapter.md) let me flash the EGS successfully.

[cheerio]

K+DCAN cable is fine for ISTA-P, you just need an ICOM emulator that runs on the computer. It’s included with (earlier versions of?) the launcher that everyone seems to use

[deepakita]

installing ISTA/P right now, hopefully Ill get it done so that car would shift at 7000rpm instead of default 6500rpm on 323i.

Please make sure the password is something unique to Bimmerlabs.

I'll send the file to Hassmashine so he can post it on his next update.

BTW is this a manual gearbox or Auto?

Sir: My E90 323i vin-ND15894, when I log in to BimmerLabs I only find an RSA deleted, and a tune HW#-Program(7577968A.0pa.zip) ZB#-Tune(7581286 (S7581285.0da.zip / S7581285. 0da / S7581285.0da.bin) First execute RSA, and then flash 7577968A.0pa.zip? Is this to increase the power of the 323i engine?

THX OR anyone can help

The RSA delete only unlocks your DME. This allows you to flash an altered 0Da or calibration file with the DME rejecting the RSA signature.

What you want is a 325I (ER version with the 2.5 engine) tune running about 160KW. I'm pretty sure this is requires a 3 stage manifold installed in your car.

Also, I'm having a really rough time located a standard calibration file for that car assume is a VB12 but I keep hitting dead ends in the Daten folder. Maybe just to tired but I keep pulling ZB numbers in the history file that don't exist in the Dat file. By chance, do you have a Vin number for a 325 EU with the 2.5 liter N52?

To find an EU 325iVIN? OK I'll Reply here give to you and help me solve my problem,I have installed 3 stage manifold installed. and I don't know Bimmerlabs show ( HW#-Program(7577968A.0pa.zip) ZB#-Tune(7581286 (S7581285.0da.zip / S7581285. 0da / S7581285.0da.bin) What program is this?

[dindf]

To rjahl: Sir I have two sets of EU VIN, I hope you can find a suitable tune and help me, thank you very much

1.WBAVB16010NE50188 (2006.05 in Japan ) N52

2.WBAVB16070NB27795 (2006.01 in Japan ) N52

rjahl, not sure if this is helpful to you or not but the VB12 ZB number i found when i started this thread was 7581280 which was from a EU 325i. It worked on my car.

Yes, that works. I even had a project file named for this. My memory is really failing me. LOL

Attached is the Bimmerlabs ZIP file with the modified 325EU tune. Powerclass set to 0. This should run on an unlocked MSV70 controlling the 2.5 Liter N52 323 EU.
