hey i have a few questions about bmw's and there corresponding DME units. there seems to be a lot of confusion around about the control module on these cars and if they are actually hackable.

First question
is there a bmw equivalent of vag-com for vw and audi vehicle?

Second
is there any software availabe for end users to tune there dme's with custom maps values and so on, such as openecu for subarus or evos?

third
does anyone knoe what software or programs dinan or equal bmw dme re-flasher uses to get this result?

Fourth
does anyone know the real story on shark edit?


the reason i am asking is i have an e90 325 with a nitrous/turbo modification and there desnt seem to be a chip out there or anyone who can tune my car and by my nature i would rather do it myself as the learning experience is invaluable.


thanks for your time and advice in advance

1. AutoEnginuity should have something out in the next couple of months which should be comparable to VAGCOM. It will allow the reading and reseting of all codes including BMW Specific, non-OBDII codes. It will allow the monitoring of extended data as well as allow forced test.

2. Not currently. SharkEdit should provide this.
