Good info - thanks

Yes, because I am driving differently. I went from 28+mpg avg (calculated, not from the dash) to high 26's.

Remember, the chip only works in a certain RPM range and only when you call for it - acceleration. Otherwise, at cruise, start, decelleration, it has no affect.

Just out of curiosity what does your dash say that you were averaging?

2. Not sure. It launches upon the release of the brake but it is fairly high.

3. Not sure unless it shifts the transmission to M line characterisitics. Still waiting to confirm.

4. This is for US models. Comes standard in M Line and possibly included with DHP as well.
Thanks for the reply. Does this mean that for a US M sport that Launch control is already coded? I have Sport and Sport+.

Trojanlaw, thanks for the helpful responses and tests . I also looked at the Sport Auto and Launch control codes yesterday on gatordent's cousin's car. All of those codes are as follows:

Enable Launch Control: requires Sport Auto Transmission coding below
1) EGS / LC / nicht_aktiv to aktiv

Enable Sport Auto Transmission:
1) EGS / Sportschalter / nicht_aktiv to aktiv (Part 1)
2) EGS / Sportschalter_alt / nicht_aktiv to aktiv (Part 2)

I will add them to the cheat sheet later today .

Yes, you should have Launch Control activated by default.

Since I've had it, it's always about 1 1/2 to 2 mpg too high.

Paicapo,
I think it is difficult defining exactly where a smell/sound like this are coming from. I experienced it first time on a Toyota 2.2 DCat Diesel, could not isolate where smell came and noise came from - went to Toyota and he confirmed it was the particle filter cleaning. Two other Toy Diesels, my F25 and now E70 smells/ticks regular. Can off course not say that your sound is 100% related to this. Maybe check with BMW?

The self-cleaning of the DPF surely seems to be the likely when think about all the symptoms, strange smell, little bit of rattling etc, was just a strange coincidence me trying new setting on RC but if it happens again I will detune and set a time whit bmw, I'm allways very dubious when it comes to coincidences thanks for the help!

I spoke to two different dealers I work with in Atlanta, and both said this is not the case. The US diesels do not re-gen as pickup truck diesels do. I don't like the engine rattling noises, so I will back off until I learn more from BMW shop notes...

42pilot, I am pretty sure the EU 30D and the US35D is identical and cleaning should be identical- just Bmw marketing ( however read somewhere that the U.S. version might have the same cooler as standard as EU get when buying the Bmw mpp box). The particle filter cleaning cycle should be identical. What can change how often and for how long the clean takes is individual as it is related to driving style. Here in EU diesel are dominating even though many would do better with a petrol as they do not drive enough km - the engine does not get warm enough. This is why so many clock up the engine with carbon. In those situations the particle filter will happen more often and take longer. But you say rattling noise - the Dpf clean noise is like small ticks not rattling. This may be something else but not sure what

42 Pilot -

So would you recommend E3 or F2? I have been pretty satisfied with E3 but have not tried F yet to feel the difference. Which is giving you more kick? E3 or F2?

The 35d actually has a different dpf than the 30d but the dpf have to regenerate regardless or
it will cloag up but facts in this mather would be good, have been searching for this on the m57d30o1 whit no luck so far, seems to be regeneration in different cycles but that pretty obvious.

Racechip Update

According to the new manual, on page 9 of the newly printed manual, Racechip is now officially reporting the following for the 35d chip:

Base: E0
Performance Level 1: E2
Performance Level 2: F3

This is the first time I have seen Racechip actually provide an opinion. Based upon this, I am going to stick with F3.

It also suggests that the E3 setting may not get enough fuel to be as efficient as it needs to be. Thoughts?

That could very well be true. I wonder if the forums caused them to update those settings and revise their manuals since many people were complaining about both not being given by RaceChip.

Was not aware of this, but as you say - one way or another it has to regerate.

Wow - that's too much of a coincidence.

For your info, I am now at 03. After 35 miles, no rattling, strange smells, etc. Very nice throttle response, cruise, and very very nice roll-on power from 55mph to 80mph.

Yep - facts. Thanks for continuing to dig into this. Even after speaking to two dealers (BMW of South Atlanta and BMW of Gwinnett), I don't think they were speaking with all the facts. It has to regen if it has the same structure as our diesel pickups. On pickups, they regen between 500 and 1500 miles, depending on driving. In 08 model trucks, they even tell you when they are cleaning the filter. Maybe there is a message in the coding??

No my MPG are the same as in E/3, as soon It dries up here I’m going to do a 0-60 run the car feels pretty fast

im thinking about changing the stock intercoller to this one:

http://www.kempower-motorsport.com/i...oduct_id=26046

I think it’s the Wagner intercooler you guys have in NA.
The 30d/35d seems to boost max 1.5 bar (21.7557 psi) so whit this intercooler everything over approximately 1 bar will give a HP gain and it should be especially good whit added fuel from RC, any thoughts?
