Just took it for a spin. Very robust and easy upgrade. Worth every penny.
Although, it still feels flat up top. Im sure this is not Cobbs fault, but the tiny turbos'. I told myself this would be the only performance upgrade on the car. Yet, after 1 spin around the block, I already found it needs more topend. FML |

does the ecu log the high boost, ie if they do more diagnostics on a problem will they see that a tune was ran?

Quick question for anyone that may know. If you are flashed and your cruise control does not work if you flash back to stock does it start working again?
I take a few longer trips during the year so it would be nice to have it work until it is properly fixed in the future hopefully.

Just ordered mine through Sal@AUTOcouture. Can't wait to get it and flash the car... also can't wait until stage 2 maps come out and ATR... if I understand correctly, ATR will allow a non-tuner to do some tweaking? Is it the same software that the COBB pro-tuners use?
I can't reiterate this enough, but I got an absolutely amazing (and unbeatable) price from Sal@autocouture, I highly recommend you guys contact him if you're ready to purchase and let him know that Kamal sent you... Sal@autocouturemotoring.com (201)-666-3500.

EDIT: Cobb has now refunded the difference! They were a little slow to respond, but I can't complain at all. They were very nice and refunded the difference plus tax!! I'm very impressed with them. I don't regret the purchase at all. Totally worth it! Last edited by e82n54; 04-19-2011 at 06:07 PM.. |

Damn that sucks. If vendors were more on top of things and didn't take weeks to respond, I'm sure echelon would have been glad to make a sale and you could have saved some money as well. What a shame because you both would have benefited..

Dude trust me, hardly EVER does BMW see it necessary to do an "overnighter" scan on ANY car unless theres serious thought that something aftermarket was causing an issue or the car was dead, etc. Have no fear about warranty issues, this flash has about the least warranty-worry level out of any tune ive seen for this car, piggies are way worse, specially ECU compartment tunes.

I already know the tuner code can be cleared, the logs are what I was asking about, nothing else, just the logs that they can look at

Just got off the phone with Cobb. I was hoping for some kind of estimate on the N55 tune, but it looks like they aren't far enough into the devolopment of it to give even an estimate on availability I was on hold for a good 5+ minutes while he asked around so it wasn't a generic response. Impatience is a bitch...

I just purchased the Cobb AP and was going through the tutorial for the install. One question, before you install the program do you turn the car on to accessory mode only or do you have to actually start the engine?

I wonder if my Alta Accessport for my Mini can download or already have the Cobb maps for the 135i?
