Just bought the OBDlink MX+ adapter and paid for the BC app. Waiting for the adapter to FEDEX in.

Oooooo, now the fun begins as you get to "personalize & tweak" the many options that are built-in...but set by parameters of BMW NA for this market. Have fun!


Some Coding Tips (for any coding noobs reading this thread):

• if you have a battery charger/tender...I recommend hooking it up to the jump start terminals in the engine bay so that a drop in power doesn't interrupt any of your coding changes.
• and if any of the coding requires changes to the DME's parameters...it may not "take" if you're running the engine to keep the battery powered.
• try to make coding changes in short batches...this helps you to remember what you did so in case you don't like the changes you made...it's easy to go back and undo them or find the back-up file.

You must mean me!

As I was signing in I noticed over 200 on the E53 forum and 2 on the F15. I'm having to get used to posts sitting for days before anybody notices. Not like the good ole days when I had the E53.

BTW QS: I tried to PM you but your box is full. I think I answered my question after I bought the app and plugged around a for bit without my adapter.

Beautiful! Love the black grill on that color X!

/ / / Michelle,

Thank you.
It is starting to grow on me but keeping it clean when you live 2 miles up a gravel road is going to be a chore. I really like the M Sport body package with all black interior.
