V81 and SSTT

amk2912 · 09-10-2008, 10:19 AM

I don't know whether this has been covered before and I have sifted thru many threads.

Is anyone here with a V81 ECU using a SSTT? Any problems?

Many thanks...

Watching with interest!

From memory, I think Swift135 has been running around with SSTT on his car (which would be v81) for a while now and loves it. I think the general consensus is that there are no problems at all, no codes and undetectable by BMW software. There are, of course, more powerful solutions but when I mod, particularly given the lack of tuner support we have over here in Perth, I'll be going the same route :smile:

Best of luck and let me know how it goes!

Yeah you will be fine!!! No problems.. There are plenty of people in the U.S. running V81 and SSTT without a hitch.

I'm not sure my car is V81 it could be V80 as it was Feb build. I have not opened the ECU box to find out. I am happy with the extra performance from the SSTT, now with the new tyres you can really feel the full power without the traction system interfering so much.

Swift - Have you measured your 0-100 with the SSTT fitted?

If your car is Feb, your car is V80
