F10 Removing electronically limited top speed

Just took a look at mine.... F-10 550i M-Sport

Wert_02, Werte=02

attached the CAFD.... added .pdf to get it to upload

@JEG23; Thanks for chiming in. Your default settings seem to confirm that Dinan changed Stealth.Pilot's settings from the default. Unfortunately, it's not an easy thing to test if changing yours to Wert_02 removes the limiter.

Malcolm, is yours stock of Dinan tuned?

Shawn - there are 3 speed limit configurations on the 550i:
1) 200kmh - Stock 550i
2) 250kmh - 550i M-Sport
3) Unlimited - 550i Dinan

It is possible Wert_02 is the M-Sport setting and not the unlimited setting. I am curious whether MJGood has a Dinan or just an M-Sport. Mine is M-Sport and Dinan.

If Wert_02 raises the limit to 250, then it would suggest that maybe Dinan is delimiting the car somewhere else or perhaps their software overrides the car's software.

As far as I know my car does not have Dinan, I'm the 2nd owner and bought the car with 7000 miles on it from the dealer... I don't trust Texas roads or TX police to test the car for top speed... :-)

I'm guessing there would be some kind of Dinan identifier on the car if is was tuned?

No identifier. But if your 0-60 times are in low 4 second range instead of 5 second flat, then you have Dinan. If your wheels spin under full throttle you have Dinan.

Looking through the FA for my car I find 337 (M Sports Package), I also see 840 (High Speed Tuning)... doing a quick google, I found this... http://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=590503

It looks like option 840 is the bump to get 250 kmh...

I wonder when @nasmo added 7ME to the VO maybe he had 840 in there as well? the lower may take precedence....

I'll give it a try today... It will be good to know what my 0-60 time is... I've never had the tires spin, got them to break loose (was doing about 30mph, then gave it full throttle) then the car has a fit, guess I need to turn off traction control somehow...

Well, that is what I suspected too after Malcolm reported his was Wert_02, that this was the M-Sport Setting, not Dinan. I just checked the FA on my 535i M-Sport, and I too have SA 337 and SA 840. For now, I don't know. I am sure the factory VMAX is the difference between 200 kmh and 250 kmh, but I am not sure how Dinan is overriding VMAX.

That is a very good point. He may need to remove 840 and add 7ME.

@Losco; Just curious, but do you have SA 840 in your FA?

Just confirmed my car does not have Dinan... 5.3 was what I got, might have been a bit less, was trying to keep an eye on the speedo and road and timer....

Sorry no 840 option in my car, these are all SALAPA elements included:

• 1CA,1CC,1CD,223,245,248,2MK,2NZ,2PA,2VB,302,316,31 9,320,322,323,358,3AG,403,415,416,423,428,430,431, 441,453,464,465,488,494,496,4L9,4M8,4MA,4NB,4UR,50 2,508,522,524,548,575,5AC,601,609,610,612,614,615, 616,620,633,654,677,696,698,6AA,6AB,6FH,6FL,6NF,6N R,6VC,754,760,761,776,7ME,850,868,877,886,887,8KA, 8S2,8S3,8SM,8TF,8TG,8TH,8TN,
  8V1

Last night I kept searching without any luck, think I . we need someone pointing us in the right direction. (a tuner perhaps)

I just checked, no 840. btw my car's M-sport.

If I compare the coding options I guess Dinan re-flashed the DME, it does not look like we can disable the speed limiter w/ coding.. I also have a different menu - pull-down for VMAX with all kinds of values up to 255 (default in Germany), even with my latest M550dX model.... but still, I will also test adding 7ME - not putting much hope on it..

Werte_02 looks to me like a flashed software..

At least for Germany there are some rumours of 7ME becoming availble in the future also for M-Performance models, not just for M5, but not sure this will become true..

@shawnsheridan

Hi, i have a new f30 320d not the Best but Ok ;-)
i use esys an now i want to code my VMAX Setting... i found a Setting in Module
http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/att...9&d=1341186808

But i cant Write a anather Value ?! 240 kmh ... when i write a anathe value the car every show the 240 ...

what is the trick.. ?! :-)

What are the last 7 characters of your BMW VIN #?

hi, ihave a litle trouble with esy... it give me no connection to car at time...

i hope the last coding wars ok ;-)

i write shortly ...

I just tried coding my 535 non M sport. It's limited to 130mph/210kph There is a pick list to change the speed and shows that it's coded successful, no errors. However, when I then check it, it defaults back to the old value, 210 and A4.

I'm bummed because I would like to get it up to 150mph at least, not necessarily remove the limiter entirely, although that would be great :-)

@griffin....

the same like me... i have absolutly the same problem... i can .... ;-))

THE ECU is write protectet i think...

@ shawnsheridan
the last numbers... ARE

***7602_DIAGADR10

Please send me a PM... i dont want my VIN write here ?!

... i forget ...

THX A LOT !!!

The reason I asked for your guys VIN#'s, is I was checking your factory installed option codes, looking to see if it was speed limited in anyway, such as:

S118A Top Speed reduction
SRM2A Top Speed US/CDN

Neither of you have either of the above option codes, so that is not it. It also tells me that it is limited to 130 mph by default without any option code.

For M-Sport, the following Option is added to increase the default 130 mph speed limit:

S840A High speed synchronisation

This seems to change VMAX-Codierung from Wert_00 / Werte=00 to Wert_02 / Werte=02 to bring it to 155 mph.

So, can you FDL Code VMAX-Codierung to Wert_02 / Werte=02, and get it to stick? If the answer is no, then I suspect it's because the DME Modules are entirely different, and the non-M-Sport's cannot be coded to support the increased speed.

Thanks Shawn. I will give it one more try to make the 02/02 stick. Like I said it codes ok but when I verify that it coded ok it reverts back to 210/a4 :-(. I guess thats what I get for not getting the M sport. But I couldn't effort it. Oh well I feel like my car is inadequate now even though I just wanted to go 150mph for a few seconds just once lol

If you can't FDL Code it, try adding 840 to the VO and see if it will calculate FP and let you write the VO to the car. If it does, then CODE (Not FDL Code) the DME Module.

Hmm not sure how to do that. I'll have to pm you for a step by step. Sounds kind of confusing. Lol
