It seems it is not a fuel pump issue but a problem with the press file. If I update the BMW software version after 9.13 and reload the press file again all should be ok. I will see what info I can get while there.

That is soooo 2000!

I had my 1.8T A4 back in the day tuned that way. Shipped off the ECU to APR, who flashed it in a day, and shipped it back same day. Not a big deal. Everyone did it back then, and noone freaked out, b/c it was the norm.

As long as you've got a reputable tuner IMO, you'd be fine. They've done hundreds if not thousands of soldering jobs like that probably.

Many people have reported that Russian tuners are able to Flash F10/F20/F20 ECUs. What they seem to do is open the ECU and short a pin to enable boot mode. Then they reset the DME time so it can be flashed. I'm not sure they're able to flash a custom map although I've been told that it's possible. But I'm pretty sure that this methods allows them to flash a 328 map into a 320, for instance.

This is quite possible I would say. The DME has a time limit of 10 hours where it's open to make changes (like going from 523i to 528 spec where the engines are the same and it's only software that differs). After 10 hours of use, the DME shuts that door. It might be possible to buy a brand new DME and do this, but that's also expensive.

This method only allows for changing from one BMW software to another, as far as I know.

And, they can't do this process for any of the S engines (like S63, S55) nor any of the N63 engines.

This is the latest developments regarding DME software modifications from LEIB Engineering:


They are now able to ship already tuned DME’s to customers. At present time this currently only available for all N55 and S55 engines.

M5/M6 will be the next. It will be finished in the end of September.

Completely opened Vmax, deleted CEL and more is possible.


The first tunes are:
  • M135i & M235i: 390 PS and 525 Nm

  • M3 & M4: 550 PS and 650 Nm

  • All other x35i(s): 360 PS and 500 Nm


The customer can keep his own DME. They can now ship the already tuned DME directly to the customer.

All they need is some basic info of the car, in order to flash the correct base software.


They have also lowered the price AFAIK

Why though? Why lower it if you've got a proven correct and safe way to tune a nearly un-tuneable car?

Won't the M5 require 2 new DMEs? I wonder what the pricing would be for that?

Boss, with the number you posted, I'm expecting near 700 HP for S63tu if they can crack the ECU

I'm not doing a tune at the moment, but M-bitious has posted that he will try this in september.

All the euro tuners quote flywheel hp, so I'm pretty sure that's what they refer to here as well.

Pretty sure it's flywheel as that's what Euro tuners generally use.

They have said that they can do custom tunes with larger turbos etc, so 700 might just be a stock engine tune.

I dropped off the car yesterday for them to do their magic. We will also try the new Super Sprint exhaust manifold to see what that brings.

Perfect, pls keep us updated on the progress.

Btw what is the difference between the stock manifold with the SS?

Hopefully they can make adjustment on the fueling too.
