Heya mate, Definite FRM issue is likely. I have protools which might be able to do it (Ive done it before, but cant remember what I used as was awhile ago). My laptop running all the BMW software shat itself and I haven't reinstalled it all again on the new one yet, should probably do that. Welcome to shoot around and can plug it in and see if can deal with it. Im in south auckland and currently around most of the time - 0210729458

Thanks for the reminder to check out Wisemove. Got some good quotes there and went with "5 star Freighting", $155. Delivered right to the door, exactly when he said he would, which was really fast.

And goes really well with the red interior… not!

Give me a call

Just showing how cool it is

Peak late 2000’s BMW, not a capybara in sight

Long time, no update (again); while I was hoping to perform the conversion on my 'actual' 530i over the New Years holiday period, life got in the way. The wiring is coming along slowly, with JBE, CAS, DME and EKPM modules up and running. I did get some time to further develop the CAN translator firmware and put together a small UI for diagnostics / configuring the translator: The CAN translator is of my own design and is based on a PIC32MK with four CAN channels, three switch-to-ground outputs, three switch-to-VBat outputs and three optocoupler inputs. The firmware uses FreeRTOS for low-level task scheduling, TinyUSB (diagnostic interface per screenshot above, implemented using WinUSB, not CDC), and custom libraries for managing all of the peripherals. The firmware is field-upgradable with only a laptop and USB cable too

Fitted my new spoiler… Paid a pretty penny for it from Alpina to replace my (probably fitted at dealer when new) M3 item, only to find that the sedan spoiler is the same as coupe and I could have used the one I found on a Jap import 318iS coupe a couple of years back! Ah well. Will probably replace the boot with a non-spoiler one and have it repainted, as the holes are very different to the M3 ones.
