I need to drive it around some more but so far I'm much happier with the car since the reprogram!

You've piqued my interest. Are you saying there was a recall or service bulletin on the M240 regarding the ECU? Re-programing the ECU?

If so can you provide the Service Bulletin number? Check your paperwork from BMW it should have the information about what was done.

If there is a reprogram that eliminates the CEL I would certainly like to know.

Thanks,

here is a pic of my paperwork which states what they did. I hope this has what you are looking for.

So I just got back to the states from Germany where I bought my 2018 M240I its affordable and perfect for my driving style and ready to start with some upgrades..
I haven't been able to find any videos or posts about people completely moding their m240I from Dinan and if there is even a stage two out yet?

modifications thinking about

Dinan free flow exhaust to include mid pipe and down pipe
Stage 2 if out yet.
and wasn't sure about intake whether or not to get Agency power or Dinan.. Ive heard good things about both.. but any suggestions?

Kinda thought your car was newer than mine. Apparently, the issue w/ yours is not associated w/ mine. Thanks for replying though. Just another in a series of life's disappointments.

hope you get yours sorted out soon! I haven't thrown a CEL since the dealer reprogrammed it so that must have been the problem.

Amen to that! Test, re-test and then test one more time.

Has anyone had any experience using MHD tuning? They are quite popular with the N54/N55 engines and many users recommend them over Dinan and JB4 tunes, I hear they are also working on the B58 and will release something soon.
