05GT Guru Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 WEll the M5/M6 are already back to 8 cylinders. With the everyone trying to reduce emissions and better mpg smaller turbo engines make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 BMW's are getting way too expensive. Glad I don't have to sell them anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wang Lung Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Looks like a pretty clear endorsement of self tuning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05GT Guru Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Looks like a pretty clear endorsement of self tuning. BMW never promotes doing anything yourself. The guy in the BMW M lab with teh badge ID is clear indicator of this. BMW's motto is why promote something we can charge them to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an X6 turbo on the lot and it ran low on gas and misfired. We could not clear the code with our SnapOn scanner, it had to go to BMW. Greedy FKS charge me 160 buks to clear the code.

Sideways the Seven Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I wonder if there's any truth to this tri-turbo thing. I know they did it with the M-sport diesels. -Brandon 2007 Chevrolet Suburban LT3 1981 Chevrolet C10 LWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would question if that's even legal to do - there's a reason why there's a standardization on OBD-II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that they are running a compound turbo setup on the diesels, but that's only two turbos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all a BMW dealer cleared the codes. It is legal. Second who cares.... this is a subaru website with a few people who have one or both cats deleted and a open source tune removing codes.

F the police I think he meant was it legal to deny access to clear codes with anything but a BMW scan tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is actually illegal for places like autozone and advanced auto parts to clear codes. So they could deny access to generic code readers places like that would use.
