    DME Update for the BMW E46 330 ZHP

    From what I've read, there is a DME update provided by BMW to address the 4k power dip along with other problems the original ZHP tune had. My question is, is there still a ZHP "specific" software update? When I go to my indy for the update, will he know there is specific update for Performance Package 330's? Has BMW labeled a separate tune from the regular 330's for the latest updates, or is there now a generic one?

    Sorry if my question is a little confusing, I was having a tough time trying to phrase it LOL

    I found this: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90586 but that only applies if you have the older version. Maybe they only updated it once or twice, and stopped supporting it?

    I would think there is, but there is almost no information out there on it. Maybe ^^^ is right, they could have done a few updates then stopped supporting it, which would make sense. I couldnt see BMW engineers spending time and money to work on the software of an 8 year old car that they made little of.

    OR, with later versions of the car, the software was updated, so no new updates necessary? How would we find that out? VERY interested to hear the results of this thread. John

    I'm sure that's the case; the car never changes, so once all the kinks are worked out there's nothing new to do. It's still on my list to get done... I'm one of those who suffers from the stuttering accel at 2.8k rpm. My idle drops from time to time but hasn't completely stalled on me yet.

    Are you guys' dip actually recordable? Like if you had a camera aimed at the RPMs you'd see it pause for a slight moment?
