Variable pre-warning zone

and these are the values for oil or water?



How do I get the tool? :-) is that possible in German, too? how do you get the data into the DME? About OBD

sorry, ask so much

no worries, friend. I was unaware of this awesome program until last week and
Tbonem3 told me about it.

download the program here, then pay for/activate the license once its installed.

then also download and install BMW Flash

I thought it was only for level

It does both

That's mine :-)

do I have to buy a license or does it work that way? I read my data with BMWFlasch.

Excuse the double postes and my many questions. I have no idea I'm more of a mechanic

Found the CSL values, according to a thread on M3Cutters:

CSL Temps:

[units] => °C
[0seg] => 80
[1seg] => 70
[2seg] => 60
[3seg] => 50
[4seg] => 40
[5seg] => 30
[6seg] => 20

Edited to reflect correct CSL values courtesy of Terra.

Standard

[units] => °C
[0seg] => 60
[1seg] => 50
[2seg] => 40
[3seg] => 30
[4seg] => 20
[5seg] => 10
[6seg] => 0

Seems like the temps are always oil temps, you don't have to change anything to have it run from oil temps in the first place?

[Obioban]

Yes, always based on oil temps.

[Andy2424]

Thank you You really helped me a lot and the information about the ECUWorx was worth its weight in gold!

I have another question. I have an SMG and it doesn't do shift ligts. Can you activate this with the tool?

I can't answer why my car doesn't have one. I suspect that it was so delivered. The car is an Italian

Those CSL values are actually all 10º too high.The true range is 20 - 80.

Yes. I believe it says the option is for 6MT but clicking should also activate it for you. To flash your car you have to buy the license. I believe you can use the tool before but in order to write anything you have to pay the $25. It's really a steal for what you get.

Thanks for catching that – I'll update my original post so someone doesn't pick up the wrong numbers.

[Tbonem3]

Yep, I just did this over the weekend

I'm being lazy, can you post your numbers in centigrade so I can jot them down?

Not OP, but I did something similar. Set mine to start at 50 °C and go up to 80 °C in 5 °C increments. This makes the first light shut off once the oil temp needle starts moving off its counter-clockwise limit and the last light shut off once the needle is a bit past the first dot.

Yep, I did 55 °C up to 85 °C by 5 C increments

Rounding to the nearest (tens) nominal °F for my own ease of remembering while driving.

55 C ~130 F
60 C ~ 140 F
65 C ~150 F
70 C ~160 F
75 C ~ 170 F
80 C ~175 F
85 C ~ 185 F

Thank you, 6MT is not offered to me in the software, since it recognizes that it is an SMG and probably assumes that it is not relevant? Is there a way to do that?

[Arith2]

That must either been changed or I always had the shift lights. Honestly they were pretty useless to me as my power curve went to 8100. It was more of a distraction when trying to actually go fast. Still is a cool feature.

Dig around Terra's posts on tuning for the hex if you want to go that route and modify it that way.
