thank you this helped out alot!! It gave me confidence to do the flash. I'm on hour 2 of the new flashed BMW 128i and I'm super happy. Idle is little rough at start, but I'm expecting that to smooth out as the adaptations do their thing in the next few days.
That’s awesome. Honestly it’s nice to hear when it works out well. Bimmerlabs did a great job with having the tunes available and yeah I imagine the adaptations would one, take a couple days of driving and two, would probably help your idle.
@@AlonzoCubano turns out that I had to reflash it a few times for the rough idle to go away... I don't know if there were some errors coded in with the low car battery voltage. But it's all peachy now. Thanks again for taking the risk for all of us.
@@goorackerelite ah, not a had idea to reflash. Im glad your idling issue went away. So did you do this flash with installing the 3IM? or without?
@@AlonzoCubano hey brother. I did it with out the manifold installed. So that might have contributed to the rough idle. But it could also have been a minor vacuum leak or intake issue on my end. I did end up flashing it back to stock because…. I didn’t need the extra torque in my town and I valued the smooth start up more. But in the future, once I get things sorted, I’ll try again with the 3 stage manifold. It was super weird that the rough idle was only for a few seconds during start up……
@@AlonzoCubano баклажан когда покажешь шнурок
super high watching this and all i can focus on is the noise your flip flops making lmao
Lmao bro.. you gotta stop smoking lol.
Same lol
Me too lol
Wtf same
I followed all the steps and it works perfect
That’s awesome. I’m glad it worked.
Thanks so much man! I had no problem reading through the instructions but I was still nervous lol. I’m glad you made this video, it made me feel way more confident about the whole process seeing it done so smoothly. I’m sending a couple $’s your way, first round is on me🍻
Cheers and thanks! Glad this video is still helping people!
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I followed this guide and heres what I have to say:
I flashed this tune on a 2007 525xi and did NOT install a 3 stage intake manifold.
Preliminary: Having a fast laptop REALLY helps. I did this on my laptop I use for engineering school and the RSA delete took only 4 mins instead of the expected 20-40mins i was seeing online.
1. Follow this tutorial video till after the RSA delete and tune is flashed
2. Cycle ignition on and off (i did 4 times)
3. Turn on the engine and idle till it gets to operating temp
4. Turn off engine and clear codes (Ista/Inpa/code reader/etc)
5. Turn on engine and let it idle for 2 mins
6. Turn off engine and reset adaptations (I used ista, but i think its possible to do this in inpa, i just know how)
7. Turn on engine and let it idle to operating temps, then take it for a spin (dont push the car too hard cause its still learning adaptations)
Conclusion: I was very happy with the tune, definitely feels a lot faster but i cant confirm numerically cause i dont have access to a dyno.
I will say that while it does not throw a check engine light on the dash, it does throw hidden codes that show up on ista. The 3 codes are:
1. DISA valve 2 isnt working
2. DISA valve 3 isnt working
3. The ECU code has been tampered with
These make sense because i didnt install a 3 stage intake manifold so there are technically 2 DISA valves missing. The final code is a no brainer. I would suspect that this voids warranty so dont do this if you are under warranty. Other than that, the car runs fine and the lower power band feels great so its no longer sluggish at stop signs.
Also earned yourself a sub :)
This is such helpful insight for anyone who is interested in the bimmerlabs tune. Love the feedback. Pin worthy and thanks for the sub!
If you're still running without the 3IM, try uploading a 0-60 pull on your channel. A stock 525xi will take 7.5 second to reach 60 from a stand-still
I assume the new 2021 California smog check that looks at 3 ECU code tampering means this will never pass smog in CA anymore. Can you clear 3 before a smog check by flashing back to stock or is it Petmenent!?
@@mikedodd9294 you can flash back to stock
Thanks you soo much I needed this !!
Of course! Glad it was helpful and thanks for subscribing!
Thank you so much Alonzo. SO just a few tips from hours of reading forums.
Before doing any of this, make sure to drive the car around for 30 minutes to top off the battery.
1. you only need to copy the NCSEXPER, EDIABAS and EC-APPS over to you C: directory. Do not delete the old files stated in the instructions you will be missing some critical files.
2. Once the RSAdelete flash is done (20 min in my personal experience) ... really the most nerve wracking part of the whole thing... you can flash between 330, 330 mafless and stock files in under 2 minutes at will. So the RSA delete files only needs to be done once and that's it!!!
3. make sure you download the stock flash in the project tab. There will be 4 files, and you only need one of the .ODA files. -- uncollapse the details next to the tune and make sure you flash the corresponding .ODA file.
It takes a bit of detective work but you will not need the .OPA file flash under the stock tunes. Worse case scenario, you can flash all 4 .ODA files, one at a time until the right one is installed. you'll know it's the wrong stock .ODA file flash if you get crank/no start. Thanks to Bimmerlabs for this amazing open source code.
also relax and know that most everything is recoverable, and you can always pay someone to remote flash it for you if you mess up. unless you try to flash your trans.... trans flash faults can brick you trans unit. good luck everyone just go for it.
Thank you for this comprehensive insight for anyone looking to successfully complete bimmerlabs tune. Comments like this are gems.
Just did this on my 325i. It's a 2006, so I had to put the switch to the left. It worked flawlessly--can't tell the difference in speed so well because it's slipping in the rain, even in third! Throttle response is WAY better, too. Honestly, I'm stunned.
did you use the 3 stage intake manifold? or just a stock engine?
@@tobiaszpieczkiewicz1313 I used a q tip to clean my ears but my doctor said I shouldn't. However, I have the hidden technique lol...
Amazing video , thanks a Lot .
gonna do this in my 328i ive already instaul the 3 stage manifold & already fell bit o better more smooth running
Of course. Thank you 🙏🏽. Let me know how it goes!
Ofcurse i will , hope not fried my ecu 😅 , i will follow your video cause its súper detalling & thanks again
Great info man! I have an '11 Z4 with paddles, so it won't work for me, but great job explaining it, I watched all the way through.
Thank you! I wonder if bimmerlabs will create a time compatible with paddles 🧐 that would be nice. Anywho, take care!
I tuned my E91today. I followed Alonzo's every step. Was flawless. Thanks! I'm surprised this doesnt have more views.
That’s awesome. I’m glad it went successfully.
Hey is there any way you can help me out I’m a bit lost
@@angelmartinez5394 hey sorry I didn’t see this until today. Message me on Instagram and maybe I can help.
Brooo where do u download the tune ???? I’m so confused
Thanks for the video. Going to do this today. 🙏
Awesome. Good luck.
This worked flawlessly for me on a 2011 328i X-Drive.
You should have no issues as long as you have the software installed and set up correctly. It certainly wakes the car up when combined with the 3-stage intake manifold.
i have that exact one, do you know exactly how much of a performance increase it is?
@@eggtastic3555 I don’t, but you can certainly feel it, especially above 4k rpm
I’m new to all this, I can do the tune without the intake manifold correct ? It shouldn’t hurt the car or anything
@@AbrahamDacosta1 you can, but there is no benefit.
@@stanelder9995 i have the exact same car but i didnt understand the intake manifold part what should i do
great great hint for testing the DISA valves before mounting. KUDOS
Thank you 🙏🏽 and thank you for watching. Hope you chose to subscribe.
Great video!
Thank you!
Worked for me guys 🎉
Hey Alonzo, this is a great video and it helped me out a lot!! A few questions though:
How do you know the tune was successfully programmed without any doubt? Is there a way to check?
What codes popped up for you afterwards?
Have you experienced any other issues possibly related to the tuning?
I have an early model 3 stage intake with only one port for vent hose but my stock single stage has a 2 port, any experience or know of anyone who has still completed this type of swap?
These are all really good questions and I appreciate you watching. As for your last question, I am aware that there are a couple types of the 3 stage intake manifold. From my understanding, you will need the one with two spots for your vent hose to complete this job the right way. Codes that have popped up for me were ,” no coding” (I cant remember the exact code number.) Others did pop up, but I cleared them and they didn’t come back. About the programming, I’m sure someone knows how to tell the different mapping after programming, I however, do not know. I can say I was successful doing this test. I plugged in the disa valves before I swapped intakes and I just tested to see they moved. They did.
Thanks again for watching James! I hope you chose to subscribe! :)
I have N51 and a tune would gain me almost 40 hp and same with torque. Insane
Did you do it?
@@jakemorales1765 no
Nice video bro, you have got new subscription.
Did you done dyno? To see the increase.
What about fuel consumption , did it increased?
Thank you for watching and thank you so much for subscribing. To answer your questions, I have not seen a difference in fuel consumption honestly. I also, have not gotten it on a dyno. I do however feel more power all across the rpm range. I really feel it more so on the low end.
Thank you man!
I have a question, can I make a backup for DME filles, if the RSA delete is going wrong ?
What should I do if I have paddle shifters? Three stage intake is already installed and it runs good. Just need to figure out how to tune it for the disas
Thanks for the video Alonzo, I want to flash a Z4 2008 3.0i to 3.0 si, I have an AT, do I need to do more steps or flash the transmission? thanks!
From my understanding, you do not.
thank you
You’re welcome. Thank you for watching.
Does this work on auto trans with paddle shifters? Thanks
Stumbled across this video glad I did. This works on E92 with N51 6spd?
I would check bimmerlabs site to see but I do not think so.
What’s the affect of the tune on a e92 328i if I don’t have stage 3 intake manifold?
I’ve never actually done this tune on an e92. Only e90. However, I would assume it had the same feel. You will more than likely feel a bit of a power increase across the whole rpm range similar to a 330i. With that being said, you will really feel a difference if you decide to go with the 3IM with properly working disa valves. Good luck and thank you for checking the channel out. Take care!
Great job, but can i do it for E60 528i N52B30AE Black ?
I saw bimmerlabs no Tune for my E60, just 2 Stock Tune Files, what happened if i download 328i to 330i, and flash into my E60, does make any problem or not ?
Thank you
I have a N51 would this tune work on my BMW?
there is an N51 specific RSA delete file on bimmer labs but there is not a 328 to 330 that appears when I look at available tunes. can I just use the N52 one instead?
Good question. Which dme do you have and do you have ista p?
Will this tune work on 328i 2008 coupe n51 with paddle shifters
Love this video! I just got a 3 stage intake manifold and I have bought everything needed and bimmergeek tools, but unfortunately bimmerlabs is down 😢 was looking for places online to download the software, was hoping you can send me a link or the zip files 🙏 I have 2008 BMW 328xi e92
let me know if u need any help too
What’s your vin and ecu type? I can see if the files I have are the same.
Bro the same thing happened to me anyone have a link for the files?
@@AlonzoCubanohey do you think you could help send me the files or confirm that they are the right ones for my car I have a 2011 328i
Hay, i found on my project just one folder msv70_rsadelete, is okey to install it on my e90 europe 325i n52 2005?.
Its not gonna make some problems?
How much hp does the tune give it?
So what does this whole process do with your car?
Does the program make it fly?
If you do this free tune paired with the three stage intake manifold upgrade, you should see a slight power increase. One similar to the 330i.
Hi bro, I have a 325i n52b25a I did an engine swap to the n52b30a and converted my car into a 330i, it gives me cylinder failure in the 4 5 6,, because I don't understand it, change coils, spark plugs, lambda, and it still fails, can you help me please, you are great a phenomenal video, I have a problem that I don't know how to remove "code 2FA4"
Find tune for car with b30 and reflash
Mainly want to get a tune to get rid of secondary air pump junk for more room. Would this do it? Herd if I just remove it, I'll have a CEL.
If you remove it, you may be able to code out the cel. This tune would not do that for you.
@@AlonzoCubano ok cool
@@MickeyGlover hey. I’m revisiting this post to follow up on a couple things and I recently purchase a sulev n51. If you want to get rid of the air pump/eac, you may have to get a custom tune done. I’m trying to find out if there is a custom tune out there for my project car so if I find out, I’ll let you know.
@@AlonzoCubano was there a time for n51 engines on bummer labs for the 330i tune?
Amazing video bro. I know it’s been a while but was hoping you would still reply. Will this work on an euro spec 325i with the N52B25 engine? It comes with a factory 3stage intake manifold. Did some research but I couldn’t really get a firm answer.
Hey thank you. I don’t see why it would not work as it’s mainly for all n52 engines, but I would check bimmerlabs website, make an account, include your vin and type of ecu and see if there is a “tune available” to find out for sure. Hopefully this was helping. Take cares
hi, i also have a european 325i version, with the n52b25. Mine is 2011. How can I be sure it already has 3 stage holders? Is there any visual difference?
@@NatanAlmeida99 Yes Natan have a look at your intake manifold. The 3 stage IM has two DISA valves. There is one small DISA on the left underneath the intake manifold (above the starter) and one big DISA attached on the right (just beside the throttle body).
@@mourinho9607 yep, i have two disa valve but i am not 100% sure it is a 3 stage manifold
@@mourinho9607 did you tune in your 325? was it good? Did any error code appear? what year is your car? I'm afraid because I hate error codes and warning lights on, I don't want to tune in and get these things
Can anyone help me. I’m trying to figure out what to do ecu/dme wise in my e46. My m54b25 blew up and I got a m54b30 to drop straight into it. I have had so many mixed responses. Please helpppp😅
n52 325i are in models. 2,5l and 3.0l. In which one stage 3 manifold works or just in both?
n52 325i for USA has 3.0l engine, the difference between 325i and 328i is that the first one has the intake manifold without any disa valve the second , 328i has only one disa and 330i has both disa valve...
I have the European model 523i 2.5l with only one disa valve and I tune it to 525i with 2 disa valve...
I have a question, in order to have WINKFP to work do I need the SP-Daten to be the one for my car or is that not necessary for this kind of mod?? or is the WINKKFP just the ap to install the 328I to 330I tune. I'm new to this that's why I'm asking
I got it to work and it works perfect
@@thomasansieta6025 can u explain, i cant find the SP-Daten files
@@abtdfirefox287 so for this kind of tune or mod however you wanna call it you don’t need your cars sp-daten because I couldn’t find my e93 so-daten
Hi Alonzo
Can I do this on a F10 523i n52b25
i have a question, do u think i will be able to do this on my stock e90 328i?
Probably so. I would check bimmerlabs website and see if there is a tune available for your vin/ecu
i love you
Grat job Alonzo !!
I want try it . But how i can find files to return at standar ? Do yo know ?
In order to revert back to stock, you would need to use a program like ncs expert to flash your ecus. That I don’t have a walk through on, but I assume it would be a good idea to make one.
@@AlonzoCubano many thanks !!
hey man just checked and they took it down, could you send me the download/ file to my computer
If you have a 328i n51 can you use this tune. It comes with three stage stock
I use to have one but bimmerlabs didn’t have a tune for sulev engines. I haven’t checked if they made one but you should check.
Are you sure the small. DISA valve is being operated after the 330i tune flash? Have you tested it?
I am not sure it s going to work if the power class in the tune is 0.
So I’ve done this tune on a couple cars. One of which I was planning on swapping the 3 stage intake into (in which I eventually did). I like you wanted to make sure the valves would operate so what I did was take them out of the 3IM and plugged them into the connectors. I flashed the tune and revved the motor. The valves opened and closed as I suppose they were designed to.
Also if you have more information pertaining to the power class selection, please leave it in the comments. I’m sure others would be interested.
Thanks for watching the video.
@@AlonzoCubano i ll keep you up to date soon, once I test my upgrade. On a 5 E60.
i did everything exactly as u said mine is {e90/325i/msv80/at} and didnt found rsa delete or any other custom tune and bimmer labs actually asked for money to tune my car :)
am familiar with Winkfp NCS ... etc
Hmm. I do know they will pull the 3 stage tune if they encounter any problematic feedback. I would just check back at a later date. I have never however, heard of them charging.
@@AlonzoCubano thnx bro
@@Yahoooooishereeee of course. Thanks for watching and if you feel to, subscribe :)
Yo bro I just got a 328i I wanna learn how to tune it for burbles I don’t don’t anything was done to it stock intake
If you want burbles, you may have to go to a tuner. This video is for the power upgrade from 328 to 330.
Would it be exactly the same for an X drive system
Yes. Just make sure a tune is available for your msd/vin on bimmerlabs website.
Great video however I ended up getting a 2fa4 error. Been reading up on it but everything has failed and car is still in limp mode.
Do a read of your codierdaten_lessen in of your dme and cas module. According to the internet, they must have matching klasses and werts
I may be a bit late to the party, but I also have 325i. I'm not sure but it seems 25is came with 3 stage mani as stock, right?
Really hard to work this out. I have an early gen 1 N52 325i with the grey engine cover, and I was surprised it has the 3 stage mani as standard. I thought I would have to get one, but nope, 2 disa valves right there. It also runs the MSV70 ecu apprantly but I have not checked this.
I think some of the later gen 2 325i (black engine cover,) did not have the 3 stage mani, and therefore you can bolt them on and tune it and you got the power.
If you have it already, I reckon, Improve the air intake upto the throttle body, decat.exhaust manifold, then this 330i flash map, and I reckon you will have a few extra horses.to play with. If no gain after that, then a custom tune is the only way for more.power I'd say
Hey man I had a question does it work on a 328xi cause my car has the n52 I just don’t know cause it’s all wheel drive
I don’t see why it wouldn’t. I would create an account on bimmerlabs and enter your cars info and see if there is a tune available. If so, I would say it will work.
Hello friend, is my 328xi (xdrive) N52 working too?
Hello! I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. What I would do is make an account on bimmerlabs.com, enter your cars information and if there is a time available for your car, then it will definitely work. Thanks for watching and if you haven’t, please subscribe :) take care
is this tune for the N52B25 or B30? could it be used to go from an 523i (177hp) to go to an 525 (218hp)?
Did you find the answer?
I have an 523i 177hp to and I wanna increase the power at least 218hp
@@razvan1927 havent found any usefull information relating to this... but i figured out for myself that it may be a smarter way to get the intake with the double disas and an 525 E60 DME and do an EWS DME adjustment with IMPA. im not quite sure if the lodged chassis number in the dme will strike anything.... thats my personal suggestion
do you need the 3 stage intake for this or can I just tune it stock?
You can perform this tune without the 3 stage manifold.
@@AlonzoCubano thanks for the response 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Bimmergeeks no longer offers standard tools. Where else can dl it from?
You should be able to find the software on the Googles.
Hi mate. Is there a way to do a transmission tune this way
Not that I know of.
Hello, I have a 325i E90 N52. So can i add this tune without the stage 3 manifold first? Do you notice the difference straight away?
Yes you can. In fact. I would personally advise doing the tune first so that if you do go with the 3 stage manifold, you can test the disa valves out before removing your intake. Good luck and thank you for watching.
@@AlonzoCubano cheers mate for the quick response. Much appreciated.i will do the tune and take it from there. Have you done the intake yet? And is it a big difference
@@AlonzoCubano whats the difference with the tune and without the stage 3 manifold? Can i just drive the car without the manifold if i wanted?
I have indeed done the intake as well and you definitely feel a bit more power across lower and higher rpm range. N52s typically lag a bit in the throttle response but I would suggest getting something to make the response quicker paired with the 3 stage intake and 330 tune. Also, no problem and thanks a ton for watching and I hope you chose to subscribe!
Yes you can drive the car without swapping the manifold.
I have a N51 engine(comes with the 3 stage manifold) Can I do this same process to get more power out of it? I see the RSA delete and 3 tunes on bimmerlabs just don't know if it takes advantage of the 3 stage manifold.
Yes. It’ll be similar to the power from a 330i and you’re in a better position already having the 3 stage manifold. Good luck and definitely appreciate you watching!
@@AlonzoCubano I don't see any other tunes besides RSA. All the other ones are stock with random numbers. None of them say 28i to 30i. How would I get the correct tune?
Rsa delete allows your ecu to be tuned. I would not flash that if there isn’t a tune available for your car that says 28i to 30i or nomaf. The only way to know if there’s one available for your car is to make a profile with bimmerlabs, input your vin and dme type and it should tell you under downloads.
@@AlonzoCubano Facts that what I did. No other files except the RSA delete and stock tunes :/
They post updates on their homepage. I would check back periodically.
can you tune it with a stock engine or do you need the manifold first?
You ll need the manifold installed since the tune will look for the DISAs to the mapping.
Keith one time thurman I see where you been hiding 😁
Yeah man. Boxing just wasn’t for me anymore. E90 is life.
You forgot to mention whether this works only for N52B30 or also for N52B25
I did it on my car following your intructions a 2008 328xi, now I'm getting the brake light abs and traction control lights on the dash I don't know what went wrong, did that happened to you ?
Thanks for the DIU BTW
It probably just needs to be reset. Try starting the car and rotating your wheel all the way left and all the way to the right.
I drove it for like 4 miles and and it didn't reset I gave up and was like f this and just park and went to eat when I went back to the car the issue was gone. Thanks for the suggestion I did that as well
Of course. I’m glad it went away. Usually after you flash an ecu, the calibration for the steering needs to be reset. It happens almost every time.
hey man i had a question im having alot of trouble with the bimmergeeks down load it seem like when i follow there insturctions i always end up with one of the progams not working its either inpa or wink fp when i open winkfp it tells me initialization error. i really dont know what is going on. i even try to watch videos and i follow step by step but mine doesnt work like theres. is there anyway that someone can shed some light on that i would really appriciate it thanks! i really want to do this cause i already have the 3sm i just have to do this
So many people have had issues with bimmergeeks downloads and it’s unfortunate because I’ve downloaded it and used it with no problems. With that being said, I have found another website that I recently used on another laptop that had most Bmw diagnostic programs, great instructions and hardly any issues online. The downside, it costs. The upside, it worked and everything functioned as it should. In no way am I affiliated with these guys, but I would suggest checking out Bimmer diagnostics for your inpa, ista +, winkfp downloads. Good luck. I have no control over bimmergeeks so I’m just trying to help. Good luck!
@@AlonzoCubano thank you man I appreciate it I will definitely check it out thanks for the recommendation! Do you know if those tools will work for bimmerlabs and flashing those tunes from bimmerlabs onto my car?
Cause I’m trying to do the 328i to 330i tune
A working version of winkfp is really all you need, however I would suggest downloading everything because then you could use inpa to make sure your kdcan cable is connected to your car properly in preparation to use winkfp.
@@AlonzoCubano thank you bro for the help I appreciate it! I’ll definitely let you know what works
does it still work in 2024?
did you buy a bimmergeeks k+dcan cable or did you just buy one from amazon?
Amazon my dude. If I can find the link, I’ll send it your way.
@@AlonzoCubano I bought one from Amazon too. Did everything just like the instructions said. Double checked everything. After it was all done I had a no com no start with cas module terminal 30. Had to send cas in to bimmerlabs for them to reprogram. They claimed as long as I followed the instructions then the only other variables are the cable from Amazon or my battery got too low and flash was interrupted. Anyways I bought a bimmergeeks protool cable and a 25amp charger so it should work this time
@@e90lownslow14 it may be helpful for you to save a copy of your current factory tune in the event it does happen again. That way if you do have an issue, you can flash back to stock using winkfp.
@@AlonzoCubano im not familiar with how to do that. /: I’m just going to buy the remote service and have them do it just in case

Yeah. Unfortunately bimmerlabs doesn’t have tunes available for every engine/ ecu combo.
@@AlonzoCubano do your know a page which has a Tune for the n53?
@@iBoyLPs I do not.
is this flash only for auto cars or can it be applied to manuals as well? I have a 2011 323i manual (canada) and I'm looking to get more power out of my e90
If I’m not mistaken, it should be for both auto and manual but I would suggest going to bimmerlabs website and creating an account, entering your dme and vin and seeing if there’s a tune available for your car.
Does anybody have their original 328i MT file ? Could be very usefull for me
Is it totally necesary to have the 3 stage manifold to do this in a 325i n52?
It is not actually.
@@AlonzoCubanothat’s amazing, i will try it asap, i have an n52b25 euro spec from 2006 and i’ve been seeing people here say it is already 3 stage manifold… hope so!
Will this work on my sons 2011 528i technically it’s my car but you catch my drift
I’m sure bimmerlabs has one for a 528i. I would check their site and see.
This video was specifically made using the tune from their page, yes.
How much is the total cost?
Yall think this works on the Xi versions?
Did it take a while for Bimmerlabs to respond back to you with the software?
Are you referring to the tuning files? I did not receive software from bimmerlabs.
@@AlonzoCubano Yup the tuning files mybad.
As soon as you enter your vin and dme type, there will be tuning files available if they have some for your car.
Hey Alonzo are you able to do a remote tune to my car
I’ve done it before but unfortunately I can’t. There are too many variables that I’d like to be in control of in person that I just can’t remotely. You can definitely do it yourself if you have a decent laptop, you read the pinned comment to this video and you thoroughly watch the walk thru. Message me on Instagram if you have any questions.
i cant open the winKFP. It tells the path doesn’t exist?
Sounds like there’s an installation issue with winkfp. I would try to reinstall.
I wonder why Bimmerlabs retired this option :/ I'm late to the party as I just got a 128i M sport. Oh well.. guess I'll just do the P.E. and intake.
They did? Shiiiit, I just got a 325i and I'm trying to get this sorted out.
Hi, I have a question. So when I download the bimmergeeks standard tools, it only gives me one file and it doesn’t give me an option to unzip this file like yours did on this video. I know my computer should have an unzip feature bc when I download the rsa delete and 330i tune, it’ll let me unzip those files. Any ideas on what could have happened?
It sounds like you may need to manually unzip the file by right clicking on it and clicking unzip/extract. Hopefully that helps. Also, thanks for watching and I hope you chose to subscribe!
To extract you just grab from the 7zip and insert into a regular folder the. It will extract
Hey could I tune my e90 330i with this? Great video btw :)
Thanks and idk if that’s a joke or not but the 330 comes with a tune similar to this with the 3 stage intake manifold
@@AlonzoCubano sorry for the confusion, I just meant the tools by bimmerlabs ^^
Your car comes stock with this tune
Can I do this completely stock
Yessir
What can we do since bimmergeeks is down?
It's not down, the certificate has expired. Use chrome and type "thisisunsafe" after you get the insecure warning and it will load
Is it the same process for a n51b30a engine but using the correct file? N51 engines are detuned n52s that have a bigger and more restrictive exhaust as a result of stricter emissions laws. so when BMW made the car they gave it a 3 stage intake and detuned it. anyone know? thanks for making the video!
Thats correct. I had another person ask me this who had the n51 and they said there was a tune available on bimmer labs website for their car. I would advise checking there for the tune first, but the steps would be the same. Also, thanks for watching!
@@AlonzoCubano i have done the no maf tune too and i feel more low end torque but i also i feel like it loses some power from 4500
Does this not work on Mac?
Short answer is probably not, but I’m sure it could possibly work if you’re running a virtual version of Windows 10 through parallels or another virtual box. Thanks for checking out the video. Hope you liked it enough to subscribe.
I have an N52. I have no clue how to tune it and I honestly don’t understand this video. Can someone simplify it please
Honestly man, it’s tough and if this video doesn’t really translate well to you, respectfully, I would let a buddy who understands attempt it for you just so that you’re in the clear and don’t brick any modules.
Does it works with n53?
Honestly, I’m not sure. Since the n53 is the more updated n52, I doubt it, but maybe.
Can you tell me if I can do this on 323?
Good question. I would create an account with bimmerlabs, type in the last of your vin, choose your dme and see if they have this tune available for your car. Good luck and I appreciate you watching and I hope you chose to subscribe! That would be awesome!
I just checked & it does say it’s available for my car I’m guessing if it wasn’t it wouldn’t have shown up?
& also will I be good if I don’t put the manifold on yet? & is your car still running good no problems?
@@EliHitsBills plenty have run this free tune without installing the manifold. I’m sure you’ll be fine. It essentially just changes the mapping to one of a 330 which has the same engine set up as the 325/328 etc. To answer your other question, yes. If there is a tune showing for your car after you input your correct vin and ecu, then the tune can be flashed to the car. Thanks for watching and I hope you chose to subscribe. Cheers.
Lewis, when did you leave Mercedes and move to BMW?
Haha it took me way to long to get this joke. You know this isn’t the first time I’ve gotten compared to him.
@@AlonzoCubano Sorry- no offense- though I would love to be compared to Lewis H! Just couldn’t resist!
So this doesn’t work anymore does it ? I’m to late to the party I assume ?!
Imma get a cannon tune
Sickk
Please skkrrrr skkrrr responsibly
Anyone have their factory radio functions all stop working after finishing flashing? All I can do is turn it on and off and that's it
I would consider resetting your module with ncs expert, although I’ve never heard of this happening.
@@AlonzoCubano Update to this. Later the same day after driving the car around turning the car on and off probably 3 or 4 times that day, all the functions came back on their own.
Hello what type of laptop is needed for this
One that’s capable of running windows 10 with decent specs should work fine.
@@AlonzoCubano ok thank you
How many HP did u get ?
Well.. I never went as far as dyno so that’s unknown to me. Probably very little. It does however feel a bit more responsive which is nice. Thanks for watching though and I hope you chose to subscribe.
Why doesn’t it let me run Rsa file I did all the steps
Not quite sure. Make sure your daten files are updated using bimmergeeks website. There are some decent videos out on daten file updating.
about to try, will this work with windows 11?
I believe it will. Good luck.
@@AlonzoCubano when i open winkfp it says coapikfnit: initialization error. do you know what could cause this?
i think i found the issue, my gdaten folder was in C:\EDIABAS\Bin\Server\data\gdaten. so i copied the gdaten folder and pasted in into C:\EC-APPS\NFS\DATA\gdaten. havent tried the flash yet but winkfp now opens without the error also going to note i havent plugged my car into the laptop yet
@@krispytoast8804thanks for posting the answer. I had the same issue
What cable do I need
Kdcan cable.
@@AlonzoCubano I have a 06 330i with 3 stage intake can I still tune it for more power
@@winningfamily7527 you essentially already have what this bimmerlabs tune supplies. To answer your question tho, possibly.
I have bmw 330xi 2006 . Do you think it's work ?
Is there any tunes for the 330i itself??
I don’t believe there’s one that’s relevant to any hp gain.
@@AlonzoCubano thanks
Good info but hook up the damn charger!! …Anywho
I was definitely living life on the edge in this video
Can someone ft me while I do my tune
hey nate, let me know if you need help. or follow me on instagram @alonzocubano
