    In August of this year (2023) I bought a new DME since the existing one had a weird idling glitch. I sent the car to my mechanic and unfortunately the new DME refused to start the engine, so I accepted defeat and asked him if he can put back the old one and drop off the car at my house. He...

    The original DME in my 2003 318ci N42 is not activating the AUX fan. The original DME is ME9.2. So, I acquired a used DME with the same model number 7508292) as my original DME. Through ISTA-D this activated the AUX fan. But this DME is not synced with the EWS. I was wondering whether, rather...

    Hi All, I've been slowly restoring a 2004 BMW E46 with my father and I believe we're at the last hurdle that's stopping her from starting. We had a bad EWS, I replaced the EWS and bought and AK90 to sync the keys which appears to work. Now I'm having trouble getting the EWS to sync with the...

    Hello all, I plan to put the new m54b30 engine into my 325ci this weekend. In preparation, I called my local BMW dealer (Gebhardt) and they quoted me $320 just to reflash the DME for the 330 software. I ordered the INPA cable and was wondering if this is something I could do myself? I have a...

    When a DME is re-flashed, what happens to the ISN code in the DME being flashed? Is a new one flashed in its place? The issue at hand is that beginning with EWS III (apparently used 1st in Z series, then carried forward to E46) A new DME must be flashed to an ICS code. Then when the DME 1st...

    Hey guys. I recently swapped a b30 into my 325 (everything necessary has been swapped) and put on a ‘performance’ b30 tune and I’m having issues getting it to run smoothly. The flash was supposed to replace the b25 values with some for the b30 and take care of my sap and rear o2 delete. When I...
