let's try this again...who's in for custom coding?
ok, so i just spoke to mike from powerchip...he in fact does not have to fly out here to code our cars -- he can simply send us a laptop (and obd cable), which he'll remote in to to do the coding (of course, an internet connection is required while the computer is plugged into the car)...depending on the number of features, each car might take about 15 - 20 minutes...
cars he can code; Quote:
see quote below...that quote came from his post at http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=472123 pricing; about $50 per feature, although he's willing to work with us...and of course, the more customers the more willing he'll be to offer discounts... other notes; --he codes with a bmw factory tool/software that he purchased straight from bmw ag in germany...no third party software is used... --he saves/backs up each customer's default/pre-coded files as well as the coded files...in the event you want to wipe out your coding or if your coding gets wiped out and you want to restore it, he can do that at a significantly discounted rate... --for anyone interested, he can perform engine tuning as well...more info on this is available through the powerchip site... so who's with me?...please only claim "in" if you are *truly* in (i.e., prepared to send mike a deposit and do this within the next couple weeks) Quote:

Hopefully Mike can match or be somewhat comparable to Shane's prices. Will be sending an email today, please let us know the final cost.

does anyone actually know shane's prices, which cars he can code, and what features he can code?...does he have any posts on here that i could reference?
might be a little awkward for me to just randomly email the guy out of the blue with no idea what he does/doesn't do... |

Well, it appears that he's been banned or his threads were deleted BUT, it was $60 flat rate for whatever features he had. It was multiple cars (3+) so I'm assuming that's why he offered that deal. My last conversation with him, he was able to code virtually everything Mike can do, but limited cars... nothing 2010+.
He was working on it so maybe by now, he can do all cars. Once you compile the list of people that are interested, shoot it by Shane and see what he can do.

I'm in, just hoping he can come down on that 50 dollar price for each option. or maybe do a special where if we pay $150-$200 we can get as many as we want done. 50 dollars a option is just insane imo.

well maybe if we all take more than 3 items we can have a flat rate?
so we pay say $150 and have like 10 items? or say $100 for first item and $10 for each additional? something like that i'd love at least 4 or 5 more but can't spend $250 on them i'd love folding mirrors with lock fast adaptive lights (i heard you can control the speed at which they swivel) unlock when key is removed |

sorry guys, but it looks like i'm going to be passing on custom coding for my car...i've decided to try and get a 2012 e90 at some point right at the end of the production run, which could be as soon as the end of this year...as such, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for me to put any money in to my current car...
anyone that wants to pick up where i left off on this, pm and i'll be happy to pass on the info i have to date... |
