Just did another forum members car today (kevn23). Pulls like a freight train. Almost made him throw up on the test drive in a straight line! Hopefully he chimes in after his drive back to Santa Barbara.
LI-M5 will answer your questions when I get back to a computer in a couple hrs |

My pleasure to answer your questions. Quote:
For local customers, we like to allocate 4hrs total, but usually get them done in 2-3 hours. The car today took two hours flat from start to finish, which is really good considering the DME's have to be pulled, drilled, have the passwords read, backed up completely, programmed, reinstalled, and then flashed over OBD + bleeding of cooling system. We are working on a step by step ECU removal guide which we will provide to customers to assist them with this process. Quote:

I'd rather you make a well informed decision than a blind purchase. Let me know if I can answer anything else! Thanks |

I too am interested in a flash, no piggys for me. I am not interested in drilling though.
Can you provide some more detail, and maybe some before and after pics of the alternative method of opening them up? |

You can either drill or cut the sealant material open. Most tuners will prefer to drill since its quicker. MissionPerformance can do both; I'm sure BPM has the same capability.

A little update, I put 3 gallons of e85 in and filled up the rest of the tank with 76 91. Had traction control going off in 3rd or 4th at 80mph...the car pulled stronger than yesterday.,maybe it's adapted more now.

And yes, to confirm, my car has never had a Drivetrain Malfunction in almost 10K miles, nor has the M5 I had prior to this one which was a 2014 with the mechanical wastegate. Any Drivetrain malfunctions would be as a result of an issue with the coil, plug, injector, or sensor, and not due to the software changes themselves. Quote:

Drilling is much safer, and the way we do it ensures that no shavings enter the internals of the DME, as they are drilled upside down while being carefully vacuumed. At your request we can open them instead of drilling, but we strongly advise against this for safety and longevity reasons. For the drilled DME's, we have a specially designed press fit high temperature seal that will ensure the DME's stay clean and secure for years to come. You might have to bring it back to be detuned! Glad you're enjoying it! |

Mike thank you as always for the thorough and articulate responses to questions. Sounds like upside down vacuum drilling is the safest way.

Mike, do you have any packing tips once they're removed for shipping - bubble wrap or anything you recommend to keep them intact? Blue tape maybe covering the connectors?
