Robb,

Will the AccessPort N54 application work for the 335is, Z435is, and 1M which all use the N54 but have different horsepower and torque ratings than the base N54 models?

If so, will it be plug and play or need a custom tune?

That is correct. The AccessPORT will save your stock ROM when installing our tuned maps allowing you to go back to your original ROM at any point in time by uninstalling the AP. With an uninstalled AP, it can be sold and/or installed on any other supported BMW.

With the AP you can switch between any map we have or you have whenever you want. Drive across the country and fuels change, load up a map appropriate for the fuel where you are at. Run out of meth or race fuel, switch back to a pump fuel map using the AP. Very simple and quick.

We like to say that modifying your vehicle may void parts of your warranty no matter what. That being said, the AP should not leave a trace it was there once uninstalled.

Initially not for the "is" models. I need to get an "is" model at the Austin location for testing. After that it will be supported as plug and play by the BMW AccessPORT. If you know anyone with an "is" in the Austin or Dallas area that would be willing to help out, let me know.

We are planning to support the new 1 series ///M and they will be plug and play as well.

Cheers,
Rob

Rob,

I'll be happy to bring my 1M to the Austin shop if you still need one at the time I take delivery. However, BMW has not yet provided a date yet. I'll let you know once I have one.

What kind of failsafes do you have built in for methanol injection? I have a procede and it has an input that monitors meth flow. It bumps up the
Boost for meth.

Initially we will not have a built-in fail safe for the meth kits. It is something I will be working on in the future.

Rob

If the AP is released on this platform, will we have the same issue?

Would love to hear more details about this.

Right, he needs to provide more details for it to have any merit. A dealership will not and cannot "void your warranty."

IGoFast1589 · 01-06-2011, 01:43 PM

I feel like everyones concern really boils down to how it will effect their ability to go into a dealer and get service and warranty work done. No one wants anything to come back and bite them in the ass.
