Half Engine Light! NO BT TOOL! JB3 HELP!!
I was going to my college half bumper to bumper traffic and half 40-60mph. i was doing 60mph and suddenly i get a half engine light and loose power. it seemed as if my turbos stopped working. im not sure if this is limp mode or not. i was still able to accelerate to 60 mph and make it to school.
(already running late) i turned off the car put the key back in and held the petal for 4 seconds to set the jb3 to map 0. i started the car and the light was not there... i didnt drive the car becasue i was 15 minutes late to class... i dont have a BT tool! what should i do!! i will update after i drive it again after class. i am under warrantee and its a 07 335i coupe jb3 Map5 mods in sig sorry for the long post! i need some comments

AFAIK ( beside BMW tools ) the Bavarian Technic solution is the only tool to clear our 335i codes properly, including shadow codes. They also maintain the software properly and release updates on a regular basis. The PROcede CANbus piggyback unit can clear codes as well.

You could bring it to the dealer, wouldn't advise that though if you like your warranty. |
