My dealer quoted "about" $250.

231E is backwards compatable with older module software. If you want to update older module software at the dealer you can but it is not required to update the ECU to 231E.

For others that have aftermarket tunes already, we can also check to verify you are on the latest version.

I don't know what happens when the module is older than the main DME software, but I do know that it can barf when the module is newer. Not trying to throw you guys under the bus, but the other tuners usually don't update the DME software without updating the modules, just curious if you guys are doing something special or if the customer will have issues if they try to get their software updated. |

Thank you. Not as bad as I thought.

DME can be updated independently without issues.

This is similar to swapping the idrive control in an early '08 car to the newer version. When you go to update the software it will fail if it finds the new controller. For this whenever I take the car for an update I put back the old idrive controller for a complete integration.
The BMW software update system is smart and will pick up even the smallest annomoly. Also when updating the software on the BMW system you cannot carry out the update for individual components. You have to do the who car. The other issue with the software update is that components may fail during the integration especially the telephone control module. The dealers won't take the responsibility for the component failure and so does BMW. Hence the reason they don't offer free update or encourage updates unless there is an obvious issue with car. If one is prepared to replace the failed component and prepared to pay for the workshop time for a total integration - which could be as long as 6-8 hours - then stealer will perform the update for you. I have been though all this in the first two years of ownership. Thank you very much.

So I just came back from the dealership and this is the version I have. They said it was done sometime in 2011.
I-level plant E89X-08-03-520 Integrated level, HO E89X-11-03-502 New integration level available -yes If someone could decode this and let me know which version of the DME I have, I'd greatly appreciate it. The SA said the update will cost $284 but the disclaimer is they will not be responsible if any modules break after the update is done. Also, they said it will not do anything performance wise. Your thoughts.

Early builds (08-09) on older software versions (060E, 080E, 100E) would likely be the ones that see measurable benefits rather than those M3s running later flashes. Still, it's a good idea to get updated to the latest version before applying aftermarket tunes.

If you have an old version, a dyno, and autologic nearby, this is worthwhile IMO. Hell, if 20 HP+ gains are possible (they are IME at least), it's worth the $284 the stealership is asking.

Tom, in my other dyno thread you said this same "integration level" that I quoted for my car equated to v 2.41.x. How does that relate to the version you quote above? Just curious how to interpret the various version numbers floating around (understanding that they don't necessarily relate to improved power.) Thanks.

The DME needs to be ID and/or read - with the proper equipment. Otherwise, it's just a guessing game.

This thread has caused a large amount of emails to come in asking if we can update.
The answer is yes we can. So, anyone with evolve tuning right now can request a full update to 231E and also have the latest calibration. Existing customers - please send your email to data@evolveautomotive.com We will get back to you with a new tune and the 231E software with our latest version of evolve-R software also. |
