Well the ECU or OBD port isn't talking to the computer. I will have to send the ECU to the tuner for him for the flash.
Any info on this for the 2003 models?
Do you have power coming out of the OBD port? Check fuses and use an LED test light to check power on the port.

Pretty sure I saw this thing the other day. You were on Maryland I think, going past locust street towards UWM. I was in a blue e46 coupe on locust.
That was me! I thought I saw you on Lincoln Memorial.

It has power but it just doesn't "talk".

Is it a COM port problem with your computer? Did you try other USB ports?
It's the car. When emissions comes up we have to have a bmw tech take the car over there with the prologic computer to show that it works because the dmv scanner doesn't read it.
Man the ECU's In your life just aren't treating you well LoL.
The tide is turning!
We shall overcome!!!!

I've been doing some reading and I think the ECU needs an update due to a recall. Some of them are encrypted and regular scanners can't read the ECU.
I need to get the oil changed soon so I will get this done then.
Some of the window switches got a little loose the replacements are in the glove box. Hopefully this weekend will allow a lot of progress.
This rain is really cramping the M3's style. She needs a detail!!

This past Thursday I took the DME out and overnight shipped it to Tuning Tech by Frank Smith for a engine and SMG flash.
UPS lost the DME for 24 hours then it suddenly appear on my tracking info scheduled for delivery Monday at 8:30AM.
Pissed off to say the least. Hopefully it can be shipped back to me before the 4th.

You gotta love that UPS. They lost my two rear Varrstoen wheels back when I had my e39. Took a month before they closed the case and called them offically lost so the vendor could get a claim and would ship me out two new ones. Talk about BS.

Started to swap out my broken window switches but only got half of it done due to me not checking what parts I ordered. Driver side was the correct part and the passenger was for a convertible.
Ultimate DRIVING Machine. Yes. The driver is the only one that needs a new window switch.
In other news... the freshly tuned DME + SMG upgrade will/should be arriving tomorrow via USPS. Then I can really stretch the legs of the one new window switch. #rollininmy3.2withthewindowdownsomyhaircanblow

Passenger comfort is highly over rated! Unless your dog is the passenger then it is definitely important to have a working window for their comfort. #iwishicouldcomeupwithacleverhashtagbutiwasatastripclublastnightandhungoveratwork #swagbitch

Got this back.
I am extremely happy with the tune and SMG software. The car is smoother and quicker. The best thing is it sounds different in a good way. Not as raspy as it once was.

Every time it rains I get this on the floor. The whole A pillar is wet. Any ideas? Sunroof seal? Door seal?
@DrLeadFoot

Probably the sunroof seal. There's a tube that runs from the edge of the sunroof to the door frame. Might not be connected or something. Might need to drop the headliner.
You could look at my car and see what you are dealing with. The headliner is out but the sunroof cassette is still in...for now.
