2) Touch point learning procedure
-E brake up (locked position)
-Car in Neutral
-Brake pedal needs to be held thru the entire procedure.
-The RPM will “drop down” as the procedure progresses
-After procedure is finished, make sure the car is in “Neutral” position, shut the ignition off.
-“Procedure is successful”

3) Gear Learn Procedure
-E brake up (locked position)
-Car in Neutral
-Brake pedal needs to be held thru the entire procedure.
-3 different levels of shifting will occur with this procedure
-After procedure is finished, make sure the car is in “Neutral” position, shut the ignition off.
-“Procedure is successful”

4) Torque Curve Reset

-E brake up (locked position)
-Car in Neutral

-DO THIS PROCEDURE FOR 2 MINUTES
-After procedure is finished, make sure the car is in “Neutral” position, shut the ignition off.
-“Procedure is successful”

PV1/PV2 RELEARN SUCCESSFUL

The NEW clutch will need to properly be broken in for 500km of normal driving conditions. Absolutely DO NOT break the clutch in on a wheel dyno. Premature wear or clutch burning will occur. There is not warranty for this. Do not do any wide open throttle pulls. The clutch needs to be shifting frequently for proper break in of the clutch plates.

After the 500km break in:
For best clutch performance and longevity, do the following procedures:
-On “M” Series cars make sure the clutch clamping force is turned all the way up, and traction control is OFF. This will allow you go gain 6 complete bars of pressure for proper clutch break in. On Non “M” Series cars make sure the car is in SPORT MODE for proper clutch break in.
-Relearn the clutch touch points
-Relearn the gear box at this time.

That's interesting, a Chinese source. I guess that's common these days, but I was expecting Germany. Do you know if there is a European source for the same thing?

Just did a quick search, there's a Rheingold USA with no prices posted. The Chinese source is probably price friendly? If one doesn't have the BMW dealership do the install, and if the independent installer doesn't have the tool, this would pay for itself pretty quickly.

Sure - more expensive probably. The SW and license isn't included.

This can do everything the dealer can including the test plans - just that the dealer can get help from the factory on tougher problems.

I did find the Rheingold USA store and the prices are the same, or close. But, they're out of stock at the moment. What is the "SW"(software?) Is the license required to actually do the adjustments?

Kris, is there any reason the dealer would have to reset or reflash the ECM or any modules during this procedure? When the dealership installed your kit they flashed over my tune and reset all my coding. Fucking pissed me off big time, gave me an excuse to try a different tune tho *silverlining*.

They should have only done the clutch relearn procedure. Nothing else. Someone at the dealership didn't know what they were doing...
This procedure has nothing to do with your tuning.

They might have tried to do a reset if there were fault codes during the procedure.

If you find a shop with an Autologic...it can re-learn as well.

Hi Kris , i did instal the clutch as your instructions (in order that I receive from you)

I have problems when learning procedure
I did step 1.

In the 2 step :Touching point learning procedure
I try more than 4 times and it failed said “the value outside tolerance “

I haven’t try step 3,4,5 since step 2 ( touch point learning procedure) failed

Should i do in order or if 1 step failed I proceed with other steps ?

I would check to make sure that the large snap rings for the clutch were installed in the correct places. Thick snap ring to hold the basket together. Thinner to hold the large clutch in place.

Hi kris, I’m about to tackle this clutch upgrade this winter in my garage and remember that you mentioned a pdf for the clutch install on this forum once or twice. Is there a way I can get that pdf emailed to me?
