I was able to successfully flash ECU to latest 241E last night using instructions in this thread w/NCSExpert. MSSFlasher didn't work for me due to it being hardcoded to a COM port that was already in use on my laptop.

Note that I bought the wrong cable to begin with (regular K+DCAN cable from one-stop-electronics - don't make same mistake I did), which would have bricked my ECU. But before I attempted to flash my ECU I was able to update the firmware on this cable to the latest which makes it reliable for ECU flashing. Flashing the cable itself was a pain and involved purchasing an Arduino board and jumper cables ($15 in total) but in the end it worked. My advice is to stick to the bimmergeeks 'expert' cable or better.

Double thanks to SYT_Shadow as I also just finished my rod bearing job by following a lot of his DIY.

Now, if someone could just figure out the hex coding so that we could remove cold start without having to buy additional $50 software license.

If you still get error, and if you didnt damage the module yet i can help remotely. DM me!
I can't recommend to connect with SaNGRia enough!! I am new to using BMW tools and got an Error 211 when I attempted to flash the DME and it rendered my car useless. It would not start since the fuel pump would not even prime and a ton of warning lights flashing on the dash. I connected with SaNGRia remotely and after a lot of troubleshooting since the Error kept popping up during the flash he determined I was sent a defective Bimmergeeks cable! After getting a replacement cable and a successful flash the car is alive again and running much better. Don't hesitate on contacting him for help. He is a true expert and professional and will not quit until he solves your issue.

Just placed an order for the bimmergeeks pro cable!

This folder has a later sp-daten v68.0. Is it ok to use this one or should I stick to the V67.1?

Latest DATEN files always good to have but doesnt mean you will get 242E It still going to give you the same DME update. But other modules might have different versions.

So I just got my bimmergeeks cable in and want to do the flash. I’m on 110e now.

Only I have bucked seats in my car with non original seatbelts. So how important is it to use the seatbelt? Anyone tried it without?

Just tried and updated from 110e to 241e without seatbelts. Now going for a drive to see if there’s a difference. Reason for me to update is that I want to use the ecuworks too to delete Coldstart and speed limiter.

can anyone help? I just tried to update from 240E to 241E, after the progress got to 100%, I got error dialog box, and now I can't start my car, is there anything I can do with WinKFP before I have to tow my car?

FYI, stupid me used a DCAN cable that I got off amazon.com, maybe it's the reason why the update failed?

I also have an ESS tuning cable, will this help? Since the cable is locked to my car, will it work with winKFP?

help

My brand new BimmerGeeks Expert cable failed me, threw an error half way through and I couldn't start my car after.

SaNGRia is local to me and saved the day.

I am going to install 241 e on my car but I will modify with ECUWorx to remove the lambda control but I am also considering increasing Max Rpm. What do you think ? is it risking to increase Max Rpm to 8600 out of 241e ?
