Someone was asking about e85. Right now on the OTS table will be an E30 map. Which along with other stages of the OTS Maps are being tested and revised accordingly since about two weeks ago.

We have defined MANY tables that were not there at all on Cobb. And through the testing are finding more needed tables to ensure you guys get the best from MHD. Just be patient. It's coming.
Sorry if we seem impatient, but after many years we have finally seen the "Grail shaped beacon"! Monty Python reference

Thank you for all the work you are putting in, we certainly do appreciate it! I think this will be a lot of our Christmas presents this year!

Does the ECU control the xdrive? I know the TCU is separate and it would make more sense to have the TCU and xdrive together.

From what i understand its the ecu that is in controle, when i go to pull the fuse that triggers a cel that turns off xdrive and makes it rwd, the ecu told it to shut off xdrive due to the code, so it should be controled by the ecu

At the vary least it should be easy to have it trigger a 4x4 error, that makes it rwd untell you dissable it and clear the code

This all sounds very promising, including the burbles. I have the PPK flash and definitely enjoy the noise.

It looks like there is a transfer case control module, I couldn't find any specifics on how it works though. If I get some time I will check out the xdrive section on here and see if there are specifics in there.

Martial, Wedge, for those of us that have the N55 PPK, how will MHD effect this, if at all? I'm sure many, including myself, would still want to retain the burbles/crackles produced by the PPK--will MHD, either the OTS maps or Custom Tuning have any effect on this?

Thank you!
I loaded the PPK on my car and I'm using MHD map files to flash. It retains the PPK burble.

Is it possible to create a tune that is similar to the M2, since it's the same engine? Or perhaps it has hardware upgrades over the non-M N55 that make this impossible? I know it has some M4 engine components.

The turbo is larger in the M2 variant N55, thus replicating the power-curve and power in general would, at least in theory, be very difficult if not impossible on E9X N55 stock frames.

We will all enjoy a nice healthy boost in power, but unfortunately we're severly limited in what the stock turbo is capable of. I believe Pure Stage 1 would be most comparable to what's offered in the M2 variant--both in terms of power and capabilities.

Then again, who knows what untapped power has been hidden from us without proper access to VANOS controls, etc. While we'll still be hampered, there's reason to believe that the N55 may not be so 'weak' with stock frames as we've observed.

The real power has just been held within. In due time people. Power wise, the only way to go is up from here on out. Keep calm and let them keep testing the motor to its full potential.

On paper n55 engine specs show it should flow more than an n54. With a comporable turbo setup and a proper tune n55 should pull higher numbers. I think it's also been speculated the n55 lightened crank is not a hindrance to safely producing the same or better numbers than a stock motor n54...

Then again, 5+ years later and there are only a handful of examples to go on for either engine...

At the end of the day I think we'll all be happy just having the ability to find ally properly tune the car instead of the "good enough" we've been paying for for years

This is why I hope Anytyme's car proves that the car can put down big numbers. I always told people the N55 does flow better than the N54. We will have to wait and see now that MHD is almost here so tuning should be able to take advantage of his upgraded big turbo

Interesting. I didn't know the turbo was different. Only difference I read about before was some forged internal engine components taken from the M3/4 engine.

That's not correct. The m2 turbo is the same as the n55 EWG.

Then how does the M2 pull all the way to redline while ours falls off Mount Everest past 5800rpm?

Not saying you're wrong or trying to argue, just going off of what I read when the M2 was first released.
