Cobb tune on 2014 z4 35i? - New 2009 2010 BMW Z4

Tom (Atl) · 04-15-2013, 09:45 PM

I know the 2014 Z4 sDrive35i and Z4 sDrive35is models are still using the N54 motors and Cobb will be supporting these vehicles with the current AP-BMW-001.

My question is this:

When will we know if the Cobb tune works on the 2014 z4 35i (due to possible DME/ECU updates)?

Is there a way to 'test' this in advance if I could access any car at the dealership?

Thanks!

I am sure that they will have to build a new ROM. BMW will surely use a new version of the DME which means that Cobb will not support the 2014 as soon as it is released.

Good question!

The January 2013 build dates (I assume for 2014 models) still use the MSD81 DME as found in all N54 applications.

Part 12147616431 (Basic cotrol unit DME) was found on the following vehicles:
E60N 535i Sedan, N54 (NW13) : Base control unit DME / MSD81
E60N 535xi Sedan, N54 (NV93) : Base control unit DME / MSD81

How can one check the MSD # on a 2014 z4 in their possession, assuming they can get their hands on a known 2014 z4?
