I thought modifier wasn't necessary. You getting some chattering?
Went to the dealership this morning for a DME update. Chickened out when the service advisor mentioned that flashing might brick it. Ugh. I need a car (and $1500...) right now much more than something purely elective. Oh well. I think I will just be installing a sprint booster and calling it a day until I can afford to take chances with the car's computer. Shark injector will have to wait.
Also installed the Weisslicht smoked LED side markers!

So if the dealership bricks it, they are not going to pay for it?Quote:

The dealership bricked my DME during the 4k dip update. They replaced it under warranty. It took them a month to get it done. I had a nice 335 for a loaner so I didn't really care
It's just to mirror the percentage that BMW uses in their expensive OEM LSD fluid for a proper functioning diff lock up. It's approx 4.6% so 4oz is just a tad higher ratio for the 1.1L LSD fluid capacity.Quote:
