Yes indeed same thing. Probably some slight mapping differences but still compatible.

Correct, there will be shipping and customer charges to Canada. Shoot an email to sales@vishnutuning.com and one of the guys can give you shipping options to minute cost

Really?

Hi guys, sale ends as soon as we enhance the data logging function (13 fixed channels -> 30 user selected channels). We start that job on Jan 2nd. After that all BMW OFTs will be $495 (same as FRS/BRZ).

[dtea604]

Yup what's wrong with asking that buddy guy

[dtea604]

Oh thanks for clearing up the air

There has been a few questions here regarding 325i's which I haven't seen answered. Will what is being released now work for 325i's as well?

As mentioned earlier in this thread, 325i (MSV70) support will come after 328i/330i support is rolling along nicely. I still have to spend a bit of time discovering all the maps and then more time on the dyno. So still a few months out I think.

So we get stuck buying it at 495... Not fair. The free open source *********** N52 flash will be out by then. Is it possible to lock in the. 395 price?

We just added a 328i section on our website. And the OFT is now for sale. We start shipping Jan 3rd. For the first few weeks (or until we collect copies of all the different ROM types), it's going to be like this:

- Customer receives OFT
- Customer installs it and read the stock ECU ROM
- Customer emails that stock ROM to us
- We email them back several tuned version of that ROM (91oct, 93oct, test pipe code disabled, etc,.)
- The load all the tuned ROMs into the OFT and run which ever one they want.

The OFT now holds 5 tuned files (+ your original stock ROM). For this non-turbo application, we have replaced the datalogging channels for Target boost and Boost with Mass Airflow k/hr and Relative Load %. This should be mores useful for self tuners.

The baseline maps will be conservative but the results should be quite obvious. Big smoothening out of WOT performance in the midrange where the stock tune (and every other aftermarket tune) still runs 15:1 AFR. Now it will run comfortably rich with more advance and more torque. Rev limits have been raised to 7200RPM. Torque limits bumped up as well. Timing maps have been massaged (not just raised by +3 deg everywhere as I have seen on other tunes). Speed limiter has been raised as well. Don't expect the massive gains that we get on the twin turbo N54 of course. But the good news is that you can eventually move this over to an n54 if ever get one in the future. All it will take is a firmware update that we can do remotely (for free).

We have another OFT website that we recently launched that has more info and some more pics. We will slowly be bringing over our BMW content over to there as well since it's a bit more modern looking than the old www.procedetuning.com. Check it out at www.openflashtablet.com

I will have some more product info/pics/videos for you on Monday.

Have a good weekend!
Cheers
Shiv

Thank you for answering my PM with this sir.

The question was if the hardware being released now will work with a 325i?

I realize you have not tested for 325i's, but I want to know if I can buy the hardware now and when off-the-shelf tunes are available for a 325i I'll be good to go. Or does that take a completely different OFT? I'm assuming it's all the same hardware since it will also do n54's, but I don't know that as fact.

We have already tested the hardware with the MSV70/325i and it does indeed work. The only work that is left is working out the mapping/definitions and creating the tune. So yes, it will be the same exact OFT device once it is officially supported.

What year 325i do you have? My apologies on the confusion, the 325i will be supported along with the 328i/330i. But only 2007-2011 model years as they all have the same MSD80 DME. It's only earlier 325i cars that had the previous generation MSV70 DME which we will support later.
