Let's see what a tune for the motor and SMG will do.

In case anyone is wondering, this thing sounds incredible

air temperature sensor?
Yes sir, IAT

Oh. And that first shot is fantastic.

What is its purpose. The ECU should already have one and the gauge cluster display should already have one, so what is that one for?
It is to relocate the stock one. From what I'm told this is a better location for a reading to deliver MOAR POWER. Pics to come.

Here goes nothing!
Wired up the Air Intake Temperature relocation sensor.
No turning back now!
Done.
Now time to learn/teach.

This is not a lie. Listened to it for a majority of the ride to Louisville, KY.

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!!!!
