Autologic updates vs BMW updates

330i07 · 02-27-2012, 02:04 PM

Well are they?

How can they be the same updates if they're coming from 2 different people?

Unless Autologic buys the updates from BMW?

I don't see why BMW would want to sell their updates to AL either...confusing.

I want to update my transmission but I'm not sure which one to go for?!?

Do it for yourself. You pay much less than from stealership.

330i07 · 02-27-2012, 02:08 PM

Eh?

That makes no sense :S Sorry!

I want to know if they're the same updates , same parameters etc.

Yeah they are the same.

BMW have to make all updates available to anyone who wants them, they can not by law have a closed system.

But are they exactly identical ??

gIzzE · 02-27-2012, 04:58 PM

Exactly identical?

Yeah, which I guess makes them almost 100% identical?!

I paid for a full update on my car, I was told with autologic you have to update the DME aswell as the EGS. My main aim was the EGS being updated.

Anyway, absolute zero difference in anything, get home and I plugged my stuff in and notice that the DME has been updated as it's a different number from the factory however the EGS is the same?!

AS you can see the DME has been definetly updated but the number for the EGS is the same. INPA confirms the same number and so does DIS.

DIS says the DME has been updated today but it doesn't say anything for EGS, just says the software number below.

Top pic is egs.
