Hi new to the forum, I have an m135i F40. Just finished the install. I cannot seem to find the EWG connector on the car. Anybody here successfully connected one? Just did a JB4 on a B48 X3 and it was easy to access.. I am assuming it's somewhere behind the engine.

I gave up trying because I couldn't unclip the intake charge pipe clip. I believe somewhere Terry Burger said not to bother with the ewg control to someone. I think I could see the ewg better through the passenger side wheel well. There is a diagram or two posted somewhere in one of my posts.

Cheers for that mate! That is heaps helpful. Just to confirm yours is a RHD or LHD? I managed to trip the boostspike and put it in map 8 while doing a launch today on Map 2. I have just downloaded the v19 firmware but haven't installed it yet, have you got that installed? I have just received my Akrapovic mid pipe so hopefully that will help a bit.

You need to change the universal boost limit up to.. emm 28/29? Sorry go read through the posts again, I don't want to mess you up, but the boost spikes usually to 27.5 which is why you're going into map 8.
Edit: I just randomly clicked a page previous and it's failsafe boost limit of 30. Oh sorry and my car is a LHD here in the USA, so I see you'll have more stuff in the way if the steering column is on the right.... not sure how the layout will go. |

Switch between the two and you see for yourself. I found that map2 seems more sensitive/peppy on the daily drive stop and go (in addition to the peak boost increase). Map 1 feels more like "stock".

I have absolutely tried bouncing between the maps but my dumbass cannot tell whether there is an actual difference or if it is placebo.
I did a launch on map 3 with failsafe on 30 as reccomended and no surprise visit to map8 yet. The launch however was so violent, i thought i broke something in between gear changes as i felt a big thud (similar to the gear change thud) and a bit of power loss similar to a gear shift. The car has no codes thrown and is pulling hard still. I have turned it to map 2 ever since. How safe do you think a launch on Map3 realy is? would you guys actively discourage a Map 3 launch? I am too scared to do another launch to see if the issue was just a gear shift that i wasnt anticipating or something more sinister. Last edited by OZM135iXdrive; 07-24-2021 at 06:34 AM.. |

map3 is 6 psi. Don't do it or boom..
What you feel is probably the transmission disengaging hard because I know what you mean when I was trying out the TDI units I was up at six psi and greater at one point. stick to map2 4 psi or map1 3 psi. What kind of gas are you running? |

I have 98 RON which is 93 for you guys in the states i think. |

Thanks heaps for the heads up. I will definitly not be trying that again. just thanking my lucky stars for not breaking anything so far. But i gotta say.. the launch felt vicious. it felt so fast and aggressive that it caught me off guard a bit. I was very impressed and scared at the same time. I think the difference between the standard launch and map 3 launch was at least .5 secs faster to 100kph (62) |
