First Timer 22 Report post Posted March 8, 2022 I've read on a few posts that japanese imports are remapped to run on NZ fuel and emission standards; is this true? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZ00Z3 186 Report post Posted March 8, 2022 I have a jap import E46. When I looked up the DME software version and date of programming, it was all original. Any particular model of BMW you're thinking of? By the way, I see you're in the South Island. Anywhere near Timaru or Christchurch? Christchurch has a good BMW Facebook group running with regular monthly car runs. PM me if you're interested. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Braydon 40 Report post Posted March 8, 2022 When my suspension programming was checked recently, they confirmed mine's all original programming, and not changed since built. This was imported back in December to Christchurch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
First Timer 22 Report post Posted March 10, 2022 can you use 95 RON? if i use anything less than 98 RON the engine light comes on. I bought the car from the importer as his daily driver. I thought maybe he never had it remapped and that was why I can only run on 98. I did have the CIC head unit software upgraded along with NZ maps.
