You can always contact autologic directly @ 877-945-6442, they will list programming facilities in your area.

I would try finding out what software you currently have before possibly spending money on 240E.

Autologic will also determine your current software level before proceeding.
Here's the diagnostic screen showing 240E (Program reference) being detected.

So I spend $95 bucks and went to an Indy shop in columbus,OH called Acceleration to get my software updated. The bmw tech there steve was awesome. Knowledgable and super friendly. He even helped me out by staying an hour after closing to finish the flash... I updated all the non-most bus updates. I have a 9/08 build which hadn't been updated since it left the factory.
In terms of driving impressions, the car feels SO much smoother in every aspect. Startup, 1st gear and 2nd gear. No more bucking. Acceleration feels smoother. I am not sure if its "faster" per say as I don't think the m3 "feels" all that fast due to its lack of torque ( I came from a modded n54). If anything, even if the car didn't gain any power, the overall massive improvement in drivability is worth 95 bucks.

I'm interested in the Indianapolis area. My car is an '08--one of the launch cars. And, yes, like others, it still has the original software, dated from like December of '07.
I'd like to find someone fairly local. However, if that's not possible, it sounds like a trip to Columbus may be in order Anybody have a line on a shop with Autologic in the Indy area? |

I wonder if the guy in Noblesville is Reggie's Motorworks. If so, I'd be [pleasantly] surprised if they would perform the update for much less than the dealer, like the $95 mentioned here. I could be wrong |

I'd have the dealer upgrade in your case during scheduled service. Your current SV isn't really that old enough to notice any significant changes. Quote:

Those are the prices I'm seeing. Dealer wants $250. I'm not quite comfortable with that. And, I certainly don't currently have the money for a $800-900 tune |

Already did the plugs. Didn't really change much for that alone (not sure they were too old) but certainly a good maintenance item. And it did have a noticeable impact of fuel efficiency! Thanks! |

I show up to Cars and Coffee every once in a while. there was an 09+ blue M3 with Dinan stuff on it, but that is all I have ever really seen. I see a few on the roads now and then, I try to wave, usually people just stare at me Do you make it to the track much? My tires are shot so I have some nice DWS on which I might go AutoX on...should make for some entertainment and slow times! |

I've never tracked. I don't currently have the time or budget for it. Where do you go? I've got some 19" DW's in very good shape if you're interested in swapping out. LMK. PM me. |

Thanks for the tire offer, but I don't want to destroy your tires. Only about 2 months before I switch to the Blizzaks anyways. I have a few sets of 19" tires in the basement that I need to get around to selling (2x Pilot sports, 2x Pilot Sport A/S), as well as these DWS once I get them off. |
