COBB AccessPORT Updates for Europe, Z4i, Z4is, 1M and New Stock Throttle Stage2+ Maps

COBB Tuning · 12-12-2011, 05:36 PM

COBB Tuning is excited to announce big updates for BMW AccessPORT support. Effective immediately, European N54 equiped BMW 135i, 335i, 335is, 335xi, 535i and 535xi vehicles can take advantage of the power, control and convenience of the AccessPORT that US BMW enthusiasts have been enjoying through 2011. The 2010-2011 Z4i and 2011 Z4is also get AccessPORT support, both in the US and in Europe. The AccessPORT is now availble as a Beta release for the 2011 1M. Lastly, new Stock Throttle profile Stage2+FMIC maps are available for those that prefer the more aggressive throttle mapping as programmed by BMW. Read on for more details about the work COBB Tuning is doing to make sure the AccessPORT is the most comprehensive OEM ECU tuning solution available for BMW performance enthusiasts.

Euro AccessPORT Support
Official support of European N54 equipped BMWs has begun. New AccessPORTs are shipping with pre-loaded performance enhancing Stage1, Stage2 and Stage2+FMIC maps to get new users up and running with the push of a button. The maps specify the appropriate RON fuel grade required for each map to perform properly. All previously sold AP-BMW-001 AccessPORTs can be used on European N54 BMW's by performing a simple firmware upgrade. The Euro BMW AccessPORTs come with all of the same features released on previous versions, including Performance Monitoring, Live Data Gauges and Datalogging of over 60 ECU monitors, and DTC Scanning and Clearing. A full list of AP-BMW-001 enhancements are available in the AP-BMW-001 AccessPORT Firmware Release Notes.

Z4i and Z4is AccessPORT Support
In both the US and in Europe the 2010-2011 BMW Z4i and 2011 Z4is are now supported by the AccessPORT. With Stage1 gains of 30%HP / 38%TQ and Stage 2 gains of 51%HP and 55%TQ, N54 equipped Z4i owners have something to get excited about.

1M Beta AccessPORT Support
The N54 equipped 2011 BMW 1M AccessPORT is now available as a Beta release. Beta Stage1 maps are preloaded for flash and go convenience. All AP-BMW-001 AccessPORTs can be upgraded to support the Beta 1M relase by performing a simple firmware upgrade.

New Stage2+FMIC Stock Throttle Maps
Based on customer feedback, we have released the first of our Stage2 maps with the stock BMW throttle profile. The Stage2+FMIC maps now have the choice of factory stock throttle mapping or COBB Tuning's linear throttle mapping. The factory stock throttle mapping is non-linear and tends to be much more aggressive in the initial range of throttle pedal. This throttle mapping gives drivers that "kick in the pants" feel of power ramping up very quickly. The COBB Tuning linear throttle mapping keeps throttle profile linear across the entire range of the throttle pedal. Linear throttle is more appropriate for driving on a race track or for drivers that prefer a very predictable and consistent throttle pedal throughout the entire range. These new stock throttle Stage2+FMIC ST
maps can be downloaded from the BMW AccessPORT Map Database. Follow this Step-By-Step AccessPORT Map Download and Transfer Guide to download maps, transfer them to your AccessPORT and flash them to your ECU.

Step-By-Step Instructions
These step-by-step instructions will help you upgrade your AccessPORT firmware as well as download, transfer and flash new maps to your ECU.

Follow this Step-By-Step AccessPORT Firmware Update Guide to quickly and easily update the firmware on your AccessPORT.

awesome fellas....thanks for delivering. flashing the stg2 stock throttle maps as we speak!

posite · 12-12-2011, 06:33 PM

I just tested it out and I have to say it is nice to have that throttle feel back. I do enjoy the linear throttle map as well and may switch back after a few weeks just to see what I like more.

enrita · 12-12-2011, 06:33 PM

what is this data log good for?
Added "Boost Mean Abs" to the default data log list

themyst · 12-12-2011, 06:38 PM

Will boost reporting and other broken logging parameters be fixed anytime soon?

805beemer · 12-12-2011, 06:41 PM

So there's no need or benifit to update firmware if you just wanna download the Stage 2+ stock throttle map right?

Elie335 · 12-12-2011, 06:43 PM

finally, but its too late for me

import36 · 12-12-2011, 07:01 PM

just got back from my test drive.....holy sh*t what a difference the stock throttle mapping makes....that's how i want my car to drive! thanks Cobb!!

805beemer · 12-12-2011, 07:15 PM

just my luck, the day cobb releases the stock throttle maps its freaking raining out

deltalima0 · 12-12-2011, 07:33 PM

If you have any coil packs going out stg2+ will definitely let you know I got misfire in cylinder 4 moved the misfiring coil pack to number 1 and the misfire is there now so need to replace a coil pack.

I can go down to just stg2 and it will run fine without throwing misfire codes.

Don't worry it will be worth the wait. We're going to release revised stage 1 and stage 2 maps in January with more power.

Cheers,
Rob

The default list of monitors that is selected when the AP is pulled from the box now has Boost Mean Abs. This monitor is good for checking against Req. Boost Abs to see if the car is hitting it's boost targets.

ADVANT123 · 12-12-2011, 08:01 PM
