    [QUOTE=JGood;4834213]Holy shit. Over 5 years and 40k miles now that I've been dealing with this, and it's finally fixed.

    Got the DUDMD m60b44 tune, which he based off a 530i manual trans factory tune, with adjustments.

    No more cracking/popping, no hesitation, more power, no canbus check code! Running a 404 DME from an automatic. There is one code, which I've always had, it's for the evap purge valve, as I'm not running a charcoal canister. But I previously had it all hooked up and that code cleared.

    The car is an absolute dream to drive now. I was going to just go around the block to test it, I ended up tearing up some back roads for almost an hour because it was such a pleasure to drive. I guess I had just gotten used to the other to Jean for blowing up my inbox with questions, as that's what got me


    thinking about this again, and finding the thread on bf.c where they mentioned he was using a manual trans tune as a base.

    Wow that's a positive review +. I didn't see m60b44 chip listed in his products ?
    Thanks for your feedback

      It’s not, I contacted him via Facebook.

      A 530i manual trans DME should get you guys through BAR. Then you could swap in whatever you want.

        Well, Verdict is in, It's an Automatic ECU from a 1993 540i E34. So I guess I need to think about getting a chip, or at least get this one reprogrammed to be a manual. Here is what a decoder told me. Sounds like the car that this one came from was nicely equipped.

          Big thanks to DUDMD, and thanks to Jean for blowing up my inbox with questions, as that's what got me thinking about this again, and finding the thread on bf.c where they mentioned he was using a manual trans tune as a base. Jean, I'll keep checking for that code over the next few days to make sure it doesn't come back. But previously, it was there prior to even starting the car up after reconnecting the battery. So I think it's good to go. It must be something in the tune itself.
          Yeah buddy! :)
