ECU ROM update
Has anyone had their ROM updated at a dealership in Germany? I ordered Cobb AP, but my ROM is unsupported. Sent a note to my SA, but have not heard back, and was wondering if they support this at all.

if you intend updating of OEM ECU, my car is a novembre 2011 and a couple of months ago I had to update the ECU from the dealer. It was me that asked him to update, because the software (BSR) I was trying to flash didn't recognize it. After updating everything went fine

I did, they were the ones recommending the ROM update (from 9780B to 98DOB). I've sent a couple of notes to the dealership in STR, and am getting no response. Just wondering if it is something the German dealers support or not (they refused to mount my 225/255 tires).

The craft shop here doesn't have a tire machine that will work with RFTs, neither does the AAFEs shop. Sorry for the hijack.

Does anyone know if it is possible for a non-BMW shop to update the ROM? And maybe the name of a good shop in the Stuttgart area for suspension work? |

I would recommending hitting up the German forums with a little bit of google translate you might get a good answer. I don't know any indy shops in stuttgart that work on BMW's but I guess you could ask steven over at speed-concept.de and see if he can point you in the right direction.

Just pay for a SW update thru your dealer. Most will charge you one hour's labor rate(~120 euros). Just tell them you want the newest SW.

I ended up paying 98 Euro with a VAT form. I can understand you not wanting to reveal the true intent but they will most likely try and charge you to diagnose the problem first. I'd just tell them you did some research and software should fix it, have them update the software and be done. Having to wait until 12 Aug to get a simple software update is BS
