Has anyone with a N55 got protuned through their Cobb AP?

whostorm05 · 02-12-2013, 03:04 PM

I'm tempted to order one and give it a try on my 2012....

BMW said $300 to update my ROM? F that anyone want to purchase a brand new Cobb AP?

josemh23 · 02-13-2013, 12:10 PM

I had to uninstall too. I'm not sure if the dealer will make the update free...and where I live there is only 1 stealership...

Sequence · 02-13-2013, 12:52 PM

I have called the closest 3 dealers to me and they all say $300.

It sucks that you have to buy the AP first just to find out you have an older ROM and have to spend $300 more just to be able to use the AP. Then IF you get an update from BMW who is to guarantee that the AP will than support it?

Does this ap work without issue on canadian n55's? Or are we in the same boat as the australians and euro guys and will just have to wait a couple months?

Dammit... You just cost me almost $1000...

Tricki · 02-19-2013, 07:24 AM

Haha I've done some data logging and PSI has increased to approx 13.5 to 14.5 .... Torque is awesome and when changing gear it feels like a kick up the bum... The kick is great fun

Think of it as a coffee a day for a yr and its the caffeine fix for your car

$1000 well spent

Golden3ye · 04-18-2013, 07:15 PM

i have a 2012 bmw, manufactured 12/21/2011, is it compatible for the access port. I am desperately hoping that since it was built in 2011 that somehow it is, pretty please?

smw356 · 04-19-2013, 12:11 PM

Any ETA on MY12 and MY13 n55's?

whostorm05 · 05-08-2013, 06:49 PM

I was ready to install my AccessPORT like a kid on Christmas only to get the dreaded ROM update required. I have the 9780B rom on my 2012 135i which is evidently shitty. Now I have to get the dealership to update the ROM. This should be fun. I do have the acceleration lag issue but I thought that was just a common feature of the car.

whostorm05 · 05-08-2013, 06:50 PM

Big thanks to Josh at Cobb as well.

Adam135 · 05-08-2013, 07:19 PM

Do you plan to release any maps after version 4.01/4.02? Or is this as good as it gets? I'm very happy, just wondering. Thanks!
