As far the tune you can pay the cash for the handheld and use it for codes afterward.

What handheld equipment do you recommend?

I think I spent 3 weeks watching car-parts.com until I found one from an 2011 x5. Just be sure the part# matches and you are good. install instructions can be found in various places. The best being

good luck. It makes the 128 haul ass! |
So you guys are talking about just using an IM from an upper tier model and throwing it in the 1 series? Would that perform as well as buying a new stage 3 IM?
