DME Update for the BMW E46 330 ZHP

What are you gonna do about your tire bubble you mentioned on the other forum?

Unlike some, I don't really freak out about that kind of thing. It isn't as bad as some I have had in the past. For now I am just driving it until I decide what to do about the tires. I'll probably scrap the rears in favor of some newer, sticker ones.

About the DME, I had a chance to flog my car through some twistys today and I am pleased to report that driving purposefully across the rev range has affirmed the problem is indeed gone. I would always get some hesitation when driving like that, shifting not quite at redline where the revs stay in the 4000 range a lot, and now it is GONE. So much more enjoyable! Woohoo!

And my new Alcantara wheel with tri-stitch and alcantara armrest just came in!

Nice, looking forward to pics (and still waiting on a video). What do you think about Hankook Ventus R-S3's?

At this point I am calling it "magical koolaid" but I will call them later today and ask what he did and what the software version was (maybe the ms45.1 has service packs like windows OS?)

I'm willing to bet that BMW has each S/W build ID'd with some version code, the key will be figuring that for ourselves.

So if they did program the DISA to stay open, that would defeat the purpose of that device.... to change the plenum size to increase torque at lower RPM... and HP at higher RPM... maybe that's why the maximum tourque RPM is so high on my dyno run?

The update does NOT hold the DISA open. As you mentioned, if it did, it would kill your low end power and the whole reason behind it's use in our intake.

Then what was everyone talking about earlier about the valve being open? Sorry I'm at work and can only sneak on here for a few minutes at a time...

It was speculation.

I saw it too, but I didn't read it that closely. I can't understand why anyone would think disabling the flap is even possible.

Oh.... It's possible. Car doesn't run right though.
