I know this discussion has already been run into the ground at this point so I'm going to get straight to the point. I have a 3IM coming in the mail in a couple weeks and am going to attempt the 330i flash tune from Bimmerlabs. I just finished configuring the program but I'm not sure it's correct. There are a few red flags that have me concerned.

1. I do not have the "ecudata" folder shown in the Bimmerlabs tutorial, however, I do have "Ecu" and "EnglishEcu" folders. Are these the same thing?
   
   
2. My chassis code folder (E89) does not contain .prg files. It instead contains these:
   
   
   
   
3. All of the .prg files appear in the "EnglishEcu" folder. Is this correct?
   
   

If this is all jumbled up I'll go ahead and remove all of the files and restart the installation. Better to find out now than during the flash

Thanks!

It's a very common performance mod for N52's. Basically you take the 3intake manifold out of a 330i or similar and bolt it onto a 325i/328i. Bimmerlabs offers a free tune which flashes the stock ECU to a 330i ECU. The results are very impressive and dyno proven. I'm pretty sure the tune is only for N52 engines, but someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

My problem here is that I'm not sure if the tuning files were placed in the correct folders. I want to find out now so I can reinstall before the tune if needed.

Thanks, that might be my only option if I don't get any advice on here. I've just only heard good things about the Bimmerlabs tune and I'm not afraid to try it out myself, but if my files are set up wrong I'm doomed to fail from the start.

Did you follow the tutorial TO. THE. LETTER. During install?

Yes I did. I was extremely meticulous with it. The part that threw me I guess was Bimmergeeks saying to delete and replace the folders, but Bimmerlabs saying not to. However, if I didn't delete and replace the folders the programs would not open.

as long as you've imported the files into winkfp then it should work.

Is there a method to checking for any errors before beginning the flash?

[nsjames]

you could read a module, but really if your ediabas works and you've imported the files it will work.

if it doesn't, then you can investigate it.

the software is kind of works or doesn't.
if it doesn't, it won't do anything.

likely the issue you'll have is the batch file not copying files into directories. copy/paste them and then the batch file works.
