Anyone else messed with PA Soft/BWM Scanner 1.4? Wondering what else I am missing.

Saw a post about adjusting the temp gauge to be more accurate. Need to dig into that how-to...have been paranoid lately after some issues with my coolant expansion tank. It looked a bit more complicated then the DRL check box on/off.

Crowz has a great page on sorting your temp gauge...

Yea that's the one I had stumbled across while looking at this head unit install guide. Going to try that tomorrow.

Make a note (screen grab or pen and paper) of the original settings in case you need to go back to factory for some reason...

That said, you are right since none of the parts that makes up an IS has ever been certified as part of a M vehicle. But that doesn't mean it wasn't worked or tweaked by the M division. Heck even the Alpina folks were involved in the engine design.

I guess it's safe to say the design of the vehicle was graced by the M people?

Or you like to challenge that as well?

We all mod our X5s the way we like, let's leave it at that.

I am not challenging what you are doing.

I am challenging what you are saying. There is nothing from BMW that confirms the M division had anything to do with the 4.6 or graced the vehicle. Only thing I have found is the M division didn't want anything to do with a SUV. At the time they thought an X5 M would be detrimental to their strategy. Alpina was not involved in the engine design though the BMW design was based on the engine in the B10 Alpina.
