Hey bummer lovers,
Long story short I tried to update the DME on my 328i and I killed it. I was using ISTA/P without the icom cable using an emulator. I had to tow it to the dealer and is there now. I didn't tell them anything and they did troubleshoot it to the DME. The DME arrived today. I received I call from the service advisor "Sir we can't program your new DME to your car because your FRM, FZD, headlights, and other parts are not original to this car. We need the original FRM to code the DME." The car has a pre lci halogen to lci xenon AHL retrofit. I don't understand why can't they code the DME or why can't they retrofit these ECUs to me car. Are they trying to get more money out of me? OR is this true?
Thanks for your input
