2013 M3 tune

Charlie123 · 08-10-2023, 06:41 AM

Hi All,

I’m considering purchasing a 2013 M3 Alpine White M3/Bamboo DCT.

The car in questing has a Dinan Tune. . Is it normal for the reverse lights to flash when the car is started? Seller states that’s part of the tune.

Thanks in advance for the help.

that flash is the cold and warm bulb check, the car prob has led bulbs.

^ This. I've had other cars do this before at start up, both front and rear, when I had replaced with LED bulbs.

I also can't see what benefit flashing lights would do from a Dinan tune, or other aftermarket tuner, unless it was added for pure visual effect, but don't quote me.

|Only in that when they went to LEDs, they would have coded out the bulb checks. Tune probably overwrote those.
