Well I don't know about aggressive burbles but my F80 has normal burbles stock.

OK, I have searched but can not find the answer....
How do we check the DCT Transmission Fluid Level?

Pretty sure you can't and it's just when you fill it up, when it starts leaking from the fill bolt that's when you know it's full.

You should never need to check the level as it is a closed unit.

There is an option with MHD to pick if you have downpipes installed.

MHD is thy way to go over JB4 unless you are doing both.

Yeah and the fact I could tune it for cheaper literally tomorrow and not have to wait on the JB4 is really tempting....

My only scare is what happens if it crashes during the flashing. Car is bricked?

Something has to go very, very wrong for that to happen, I wouldn't worry about that.

It can take up to 45 minutes so make sure your tablet is charged and have a battery charger hooked up to your car. If you don't have a battery charger I'd recommend purchasing one of the super cheap ones, only $20-30.

So this just happened to me. 2011 335is my battery caught on fire luckily I smelled it and pulled over with smoke filling up the car. I opened the trunk and flames where coming out the battery area. Ran over to the nearest place grabbed a fire extinguisher and I put the fire out. Bmw battery on the car and last people to touch the car or anything with the battery was Classic BMW, they were doing a recall on the car and fried my ecu and had to replace that as well, since then car has been acting weird and this just happened out of the blue. Good thing I acted quick because I had a full tank in the car and god knows what could have happened. Anybody have had this issue? My car is out of warranty but the work that was done was covered because it was there mistake. I have contacted BMW north america and they escalated the case and said they will contact me in one business day.

holy shit guy, glad you're okay. Never heard of this happening, I think them frying your ECU will play well in your favor.

Any pics of the damage?

Does it have to be a battery charger or one of those jump start packs work?

rsyed07 · 08-08-2018, 08:52 AM

If you have a spare car, just get some jumper cables and let the other car idle while its connected to yours. max cost about a 1/2 gallon of gas lost from idling. After the first flash all other flashes take 3 to 5 mins tops.

NoGuru · 08-08-2018, 10:15 AM

Yeah after the first flash I don't use a charger, and it only takes about 1 minute per map.

It's like new. I really scored on this Ebay buy, complete M3 DCT wheel, trim, paddles, and buttons for $400.

Here's a interesting thing I ran into with this M3 conversion (well, one of many). With the complete conversion done, including the M3 ABS/DSC module and SZL, the 335is wheel with original paddles and buttons worked perfectly. I had a set of M3 multifunction buttons (with the M on it) so I swapped them in. Buttons still worked but the paddles didn't. Swapped the complete M3 wheel in and everything works as it should. What I'm getting at is that ordinarily to use a M wheel and paddles on a LCI non M you need to wire in resistors to make the M paddles functional. It may be possible to swap in the M3 buttons instead of rewiring and have functional paddles. The paddles are routed through the multifunction switches and apparently there's a difference how the signals are interpreted between the M and non M switches. Just my theory right now. I need to swap the non M buttons into the M wheel to confirm but it may a different option for those that aren't up for rewiring the paddles.

Mirror for $100 on the way for high beam assist retrofit next.

Parking lot pimping... lol

NoGuru · 08-10-2018, 06:24 AM

Nice wheel. I just installed Nelson Racing paddles yesterday. Much better then the small stock paddles but you can only really use the edge of the paddles since it moves them closer to the sticks.

LMB335IS Does the M DCT shift knob work properly with the IS without having the P button?
