Running well. In the cold weather, it is like adding more TQ/HP for free. I turned my settings back to D/D from E/0.

I would like to bump it up to what other 35i owners recommend as an enhanced setting. The manual is not really clear on default and escalation of tunes. Do I follow Tune 1, Tune 2, or Tune 3 in Performance boost and does it increase from top to bottom ?? Instructions and background information is very poor so hoping i can leverage forum members experience for the optimal RC setting. |

Busy with life and school, but slowly getting back . I saw your truck. That thing is a monster! Hope your X5 finds a good home! You'll be missed, my friend. Thanks for all the helpful posts and knowledge you've shared with us.
I bumped my RaceChip Ultimate on my 50i to S2=E yesterday, and the car just flies .

Yes, I've done B, C, and D (this was my last setting before testing out my BMS stage1 on 1 o'clock position for 2 months before my oil change service recently). I must be one of the lucky ones (maybe because I got one of the original chips when it first came out?), but mine absolutely works. E is running superbly...throttle is buttery smooth unlike BMS and stock. BMS definitely works, but it's nowhere near RaceChip D and E settings. I really do believe whatever effect RaceChip has on torque makes a big difference, but I'm not an engineer or engine person like 42pilot and some of you. I am a meticulous tester though for every car I drive... Even comparing 35i loaners. I really don't understand how RaceChip could screw something like this up, but based on onfirex5's thorough tests, there do appear to be some issues with some of them (maybe the newer ones?). I've had no DME or other ECU updates since installing my 6wb a while ago. Car has zero issues. So using older psdzdata before it was trimmed using launcher 1.05 with esys 3.26.1. Not sure if the older software on my car relates at all.

I have it a little more than year on my F15 35d with RC factory settings. Every time when CEL shows which happens 3-4 only I replaced RC with dummy and usually CEL lights down after 25-40 miles of driving. I removed RC and harness before service appointment at BMW. First. I couldn't connect original plugs to snap point, it was kind of half plugged in. I didn't force it to click... I have no idea what went wrong. Second. I started my car and right away had CEL AND DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION message (which disappeared every time when I restarted car in short like 30 sec interval) Third. I connected RC and harness back to engine with snap and click sound. CEL AND DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION message disappeared... Any thoughts?

I'm confused and surprised you are getting CEL with RC on factory default settings which is the minimum setting. If this is the case, I think there is more to your issue than RC.

Connection is SO IMPORTANT. The way these are made, a click should always occur. Then, you snap the little tabs (grey for stock tabs on car), and you will hear their click as well. If there is any gap (this was prevalent when using the RED harness 4720 rather than PINK 8720 harness due to a large connector that did not allow a solid connection to the stock plugs). So, if there is ANY gap at all, this will cause the vehicle ECU to flip out and think there is no connection leading to Drivetrain Malfunction and CEL (when there is a Drivetrain Malfunction, you will never lose the CEL no matter how many times you think it temporarily goes away - it will return). Everyone learned this from my first RaceChip install with the wrong harness. This is also why Ben specifically started shipping the correct (PINK) harnesses to everyone with 50i engines. Make sure you have the correct harness and always make sure it clicks/plugs in correctly. Also, the plugs ONLY fit one way to hear that click, so remember this.

@Maxipes , sounds like you were having improper connection issue.
The connector to the sensors should plug in easily with little effort. And most of the time it will and should click like what opasha mentioned.

I understand that connection has to be completed with click sound. But it looks like there is something inside female part which stopped male plug to move in completely to make tabs snapped.
(Sorry for my English) I'll make a pictures and will post them today. |
