#Minor Update
##Navigation Update 2019-1
I stumbled upon a thread about the new maps
https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1545593 and decided to download the maps to update as well. With the free Mega account, you are limited to 5GB every 6 hrs and Mega Desktop client allows you to let it run on its own until it finally downloads. Or you can pay for Mega. You will also need FSC code for your car..either 2019 or lifetime will work.
I wiped my 128GB USB 3.0 Sandisk flash drive with FAT32 and MBR partition map and copied folder contents into the main folder of the drive. I plugged it into the car and whala! It updated after 45minutes or so without much intervention. Be sure to have your FSC code ready as well!
##Throttle Actuators Failure
Before updating the car's navigation, the car decided to throw a code during pre-check. Luckily, I was just updating the maps at home and not in a remote winery somewhere up north.
The car has about 58k on the odometer.
A quick jump into ISTA+ showed bank1 has a failure. You can ignore the EDC error as that will always be there since I got it deleted. The frequency is only 1 time but I rather deal with this while the car is at home and in a garage instead of towing the car back from wherever I am. I already ordered two TAs from
Abdul@mpowermotorsports to get the ball rolling.
##Coming Soon
Last but not least, I had a fair share of purchases during Black Friday and some of them were car parts.
List of new parts coming up:
New Throttle Actuators
Customized license plates
Bimmerworld SS brake lines
PFC08
New Rotors
Alpine MSS tune
