Is it necessary to remove the entire front end to remove the engine?
Is that software that has been written specifically for your car to take into account the enhanced torque/BHP?
When do you envisage the works to be completed?
Are you worried that BMW may detect the remap?

Hi Ian
Yes, to remove the engine easily you have to remove the entire front assembly. You can take the engine out of the top, but it's a lot more hassle and takes longer. Far easier to drop the engine and gearbox out together from underneath the car.
The ZF gearbox software hasn't been written specifically for this car, but it is based on the Alpina software parameters with a couple of little modifications to better suit the torque delivery of my car.
Works probably won't be completed till after Christmas, if we're being realistic.
