Did anybody try to reset the ECU of his Z4.
hello, ive read about people reseting there ECU after the first 1500miles or so.
reset it cause it learns your driving style and almost all of us are very kind for the first 1500miles so the car gets used to that. anybody tried doing it yet? and what are the results? i found a post about it in another forum. http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=411543 |

Worked great for me. I couldn't wait for the 1500 mile mark because I babied it during the break in and it was real sluggish. Even my wife noticed it did not have the pep of my 335i. Which I thought was interesting because it has the same exact engine except I Dinanized the 335i.
So I reset it at 880 mile mark and wow. Throttle response was the first thing I noticed. Still taking it easy for the most part. But at 1500 everybody better look out. JZ |

Tried it a week back. One thing that happened to me, the crank took a little longer than normal to start up.
Throttle response was better, D feels like it was in S. |

probably because your driving style has changed after the first 1000 miles or so.
now its learning from the new you. mine now feels like its driving on S when am on D. which is much much much better. |

Interesting read. Given that I spent my first 2000km touring across European motorways to get the Z4 to its new home, and most of those since (and to come) having consisted primarily of town driving where I rarely get out of 4th gear; would it be a good idea for me to do this or not? I'm assuming I can't set a 'restore' point and experiment : )

Reviving this to see how many more Z4 owners tried this and the results. Thx.
EDIT: does that mean my radio and other computer settings will be reset as well? |
