i pulled the trigger on purchasing the cable

NEW BMW INPA / Ediabas K+DCAN USB Interface D-CAN CAN OBD OBD2 OBD016 | eBay

going to try using BMW Coding Tool app with the software too, seems easier to learn
would be cool if i could pick this up and help others

Mr.X5_3.0si-retired 03-25-2013 08:53 PM

my cable showed up today, not impressed with software being on a shitty burnt disc as the description and picture did not show this particular disc, oh well

can't wait to copy software over to WinXP side of my mac and play around
hope it's fairly easy to pick up on as i'm pretty good with comp software

got the top half of the glove box replaced as it was severly warped
costed $200 but as part of our agreement on purchasing it the company reimbursed us for it

also wasted money on front oem weather (rubber) floor mats, not impressed with the floor mat system at all, glad i didn't buy rear mats.
costed $85 for fronts, rears would have been $65.
front floor mats definitely do not cover the floor as good as my E46 OEM weather mats.
also depise the velcro set up to hold the mats down.
would way rather have E46 anchor plugs.

may just sell these weather mats and go with the weathertech digital mats, they seem to cover the carpet very well and we got a lot of rain here so carpet is a no go and the small BMW mats may not cut it

$85 is too much, i believe you can get them much cheaper...

also, i have the weathertech digital mats (with BMW logo) for the rears, and they are not snugged as advertised, just heads up...

our dealership didn't have any weathertech's in so i might just order a generic pair for the back in that case... do you know if the weathertech ones are atleast better then regular oem rubber mats then?

before i post some pics i did wanna say im super impressed with the power from the 6cyl 3.0L in this, after reading some reviews of it being underpowered i really thought it was going to be boring but i'm impressed.

260hp for the 3.0si vs 225 hp for the 3.0i....(if not mistaking???).

The wiki page says
3.0L 272 hp I6

The Edmunds page says
Horsepower: 260 hp @ 6600 rpm

Not sure which is correct

Been searching and can't find weathertechs with BMW logos
Where did u get Urs, can u get the McNeil weathertech ones with BMW logo

posted this in the what did you do to your vehicle thread today but thought i'd put it here as well to keep this up to date

just got my '07 3.0Si back
i was having some delay with acceleration in lower RPM's
they found the tranny sleeve seal leaking and oil filter housing gasket leaking
looks like they replaced oil filter housing too??.. showing a price of $472 so i'm sure the gasket itself is not that price.
replaced oil pan and filter, oil filter stand gasket
so warranty covered that then of course there's more
coolant hose was starting to dry rot along with the vent piping.. $160
they charged me for refilling anti-freeze.. $23
charged me for atf synthetic.. $59
charged me for windshield washer fluid.. $7
replaced left brake light blub... $4

after warranty i ended up paying $430.. not too impressed as i sent it in thinking everything would be covered by warranty
was done at an Indy shop because of warranty we can't pick and chose where to have it repaired really

to top it all off the driver who dropped the vehicle off forgot to return our key so i haven't even got to go out and test it, have to search for the spares now


*EDIT*
the guy came back and dropped the key off
took it too the gym and back, seems to be fixed :thumbup:
now i wonder if i should still get a sprint booster
