I suppose that I will now have to call the dealer and figure out what ECU version I'm running. Given that the car is an '08, it has the potential to old (and I don't recall BMW ever updating it [or at least letting me know that they had] during its check-ups).
If pre 190E, I will have to flash back to OEM, and then re-flash with the ESS tune? Gah, not fun.
Tom@EAS - how much would you guys charge for something like this? I'm in LA . . .

Base updates are $95. Only takes about 30 minutes.
If you still have the ESS tune loaded, they will have to update the base file, and provide you with a new 240E-specific tune. For those with E-Flash, this can be performed by the end user.
