How to tell which tune my E92 has
Good afternoon all, so I purchased my 08 E92 privately and PO stated it had a small tune to code out the front cat engine code since it has a full akro exhaust. PO was unsure of the specifics of the tune, I was curious if there is a way to figure out which one it was?
Thanks, Chris |

You may be able to contact a vendor on here and they might be able to help you! Does the OP not have a receipt from purchasing the tune? Or was it from a local shop that dabbled in "tuning"?

best to start fresh with a tuner that has a good rep.
I'm in a similar situation and that's what I plan to do.

It sounds like the PO did not have the tune done himself (he would have remembered who did it if he had the tune done himself) but if you can track down the owner that actually did the tune that would certainly help. Do you have the service records for the car? The other owner(s) name(s) would likely appear there. Whoever spent the big bucks for a full Akra exhaust most likely got a quality tune. It probably does a lot more than just dealing with the front cat delete. If you just want to know...just to know, then that's your best bet. If the car runs well I don't know that I'd want the tune erased (which is what a DME software update would do). Otherwise, you can do as others have suggested and get a new tune for ~$300ish....which might be no better or worse than your current tune.

Ya know. I just had my ECU reflashed at the dealer to the latest version. Anyone know what changes that created?
I think I am going to get the Dinan DME and DCT software. If I have the latest Factory DME software is the Dinan stuff an improvement? |

Ill have to go through all the paperwork I got from PO. I would put money on whoever bought the full akro to be the one to get the tune. I can't imagine spending 6.5k on an exhaust.
