I'm hopefully going to get some dyno time next week just to see what she's putting down. Will post numbers as soon as I get 'em... Curious to read other reviews; I know there are more folks out there -

Might sound dumb but we need to get a professional dyno tune for these? I was under the impression that you just plug it in the ODB, and you're set to go. Please let me know if I'm wrong, as I am |---| <------- this close to purchasing one (under the above assumptions) ~V |

What firmware are you on? I got mine yesterday and had the Unsupported ROM message pop up. Sent it off in the morning but haven't heard from anyone yet. I found a beta-firmware release version of v1.6.3.2-1190 which almost found my car. It let me go one step further but it was for the auto not manuel. I want to try this thing out and making sure I'm not missing a firmware release anywhere. |

Looks like the latest beta firmware was taken down tonight and brought back to v1.6.3.2-1144. Thought there might have been a new release that went up late tonight when I saw the updated icon in the AP manager but now my car gives me the original Unsupported ROM message. Looks like the guys are working hard on it, hope they find a fix soon. Missing the power from the car. Stock is nice but once you know the potential of the flash it's hard to wait to get it back.

Boogieman - I'm on the 1190 firmware release (I've got an auto). I'm traveling and haven't been able to check for any updates over the last day or so...hopefully what I'm running is still legit.. [Update] - Have you seen this thread? http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...17&postcount=1

AP installed!
Quote:
As noted above I ordered the AP last week, it arrived today and I debated waiting until the weekend to install, as soon as I arrived home I decided to install, thoughts: 1. Super easy install, took about 15-20 minutes, no issues at all. 2. I installed the Stage 1 93 Octane map which was pre-loaded on the AP along with a 91 Octane map and a valet map. 3. Time for a drive (I own a 2010 135i MSport with BMW Performance exhaust and MT). At first I thought the throttle response was kind of "mushy" but the power came on smooth and boost picked up quickly. After about 15 -20 minutes my throttle response seemed to be much better than immediatley after the install. Traffic was bad in Chicago so I had to baby things until traffic improved. After about 20 minutes I was able to run through the gears driving normally and driving more "spirited" , I am very impressed with what I have felt so far, TQ is greatly improved and overall power seems more linear and stays much stronger at higher RPM's, 6th gear pulls from 60 - 80 MPH were much better - no need to downshift. A couple of rolling starts and I cooked the tires through second gear (Winters are on now). For me the AP is the pefect tool for my car and style of driving, the 135 is my daily. I am very happpy with the purchase and I look forward to some more time behind the wheel. I have a boost gauge but didn't take the time to see where max boost was, more on that later. So far...so good!

...and double lol With BMW's PPK down to $599 a lot of us N55 users are jumpin the gun. I'd rather wait for Cobb but this BMW deal is only good until the end of this year. read: DEADLINE (beat 'em to it!) |

I just found this thread.
Can't say I read every post, but most, particularly the ones from COBB. I didn't see any mention of how much power gain nor dyno charts. Is that available? |

The N55 ECU is completely different from the N54 motor, so it's a long and tough process to be able to flash it through the OBDII port. But, we are working very hard on it in conjunction with our N54 work (map updates, new maps, ATR, etc.). We haven't forgotten about the N55 car! Ian |
