E90Post Members,

We here at WheelSTO are proud to announce the immediate public release of the COBB Tuning Access port for BMW N54 Twin Turbo Engine - 335i/135i/535i applications. COBB Tuning is no stranger to engine tuning over the years, with their success in the Subaru Impreza WRX/STi, and Nissan Skyline GTR. They have nailed their software and installation procedures down to the bare simplicity, reliability and more support you can ever imagine.

Here is some more information about this product:

The AccessPORT brings hand-held ECU flashing, managing and monitoring convenience to BMW, unleashing untapped power hidden in the ECU with just the push of a button. The AccessPORT lets you quickly reprogram your car’s ECU with performance-tuned calibrations for instant power gains without any tools, wiring, soldering or downtime. Reprogramming the ECU generates significant power gains while retaining the sophisticated control logic and refined engine response developed by BMW engineers. Simply plug the AccessPORT into your car, install the desired calibration and enjoy the thrill of big gains in torque and horsepower!

The AccessPORT puts control in the hands of the enthusiast. Install the AccessPORT at your convenience in less than 20 minutes from the comfort of your driver seat. The AccessPORT is able to store multiple calibrations, making map switching easy with just the touch of a button in under a minute. Choose from many pre-tuned maps for different levels of modifications and types of fuels and be ready for any situation. For extreme modifications or maximum power output, our ProTuner network can custom tune your setup on a dyno using our soon to be released AccessTUNER Pro tuning software.

Flashing the ECU for increased performance is just the start of what the AccessPORT is capable of. Set the AccessPORT to Performance Mode to capture 0-60MPH times, ¼ Mile times and Trap Speeds. Switch over to Live Data and choose a gauge to monitor, such as; oil temperature, intake air temperature, throttle position, ignition timing, boost, MAF voltage, air/fuel ratio and many more. Select the integrated Data Logging function to record multiple channels of data for up to 10 hours for in-depth performance analysis. Go to Troubleshooting mode to diagnose issues by reading trouble codes and resetting the system once the issues have been resolved. Users can even configure the AccessPORT as a shift light that flashes the screen at whatever RPM you choose.

The AccessPORT can even eliminate separation anxiety for those times you are away from your car. Protect your investment when out on the town by quickly loading the Valet map to limit engine revs and boost. And when it’s necessary to remove the AccessPORT, the uninstall process is simple, taking under 10 minutes and restoring the ECU to its original condition. The AccessPORT can be installed and uninstalled as many times as needed without fuss or hassle.

The AccessPORT from COBB Tuning is the most comprehensive hand-held ECU flashing, managing and monitoring device available for 2008-2010 BMW 135i, 335i and 535i vehicles. Satisfy your hunger for more power and control. Access the potential of your BMW today!

n55?

[mithiral67]

What's Wsto experience with working on and tuning n54?

[Victory Road]

Not yet.
I'm sure when N55 owners have more access to tuning parts, this software will be readily available.

For the E9X's out there with stock set ups looking to increase power and response. Let us know if you have any other questions on set ups, and your power goals.

Thanks again!

I'm going to wait for stage 2. Had this product on my sti and loved it, BTW how does the cobb work with the DCT transmission on the 335is?

the 335iS is still in the works an COBB has no confirmed ETA right now.

The good news is that the Xi has been tested and confirmed. Maps will probly roll out in a week or so....




COBB tuning has been on top of all the questions and i applaud them for their support.

A lot of customers have been calling in and there were a couple of concerns:
1. What is the cost to upgrade to Stage 2, when it is released?
--> the upgrade is FREE. Once you have the AccessPort, you can take advantage of all the maps that they have by accessing them through the AccessPort Manager

2. Can I take it out and resell the AP unit.
--> yes you can. As long as you "uninstall" (not the "stock" mode), it basically goes back to the "out of the box" state. You can resell and others can enjoy!

Exciting Times for N54 owners!
