Feel free to email me directly too.

Out of topic, are you Indonesian? Just a guess from your name.

Yea, rest are ok.
Just the A harness look a bit funny.
Need more detail and better pictures.

Yo I ended up getting a CEL and power reduction today.

I had just barely warmed the car up and was sitting at a red when it happened.

Got any reading on what code the CEL is?

Don't come to conclusion before knowing what is the CEL for.
CEL these days can be anything.
From as simple as:
- Stuck active grill
- Unplugged exhaust flap
- Not tight enough gas cap

That’s why I’m saying I think I’m doing something wrong. I need to find a place where I can do as many lunches as I want but I don’t have a place like that. The best time I’ve gotten was 4.2.

Could be wrong but thought I read somewhere that full torque isn't available in 1st gear to control spin? Also, wonder if BMW will allow high parameters for launch control in AWD models.

I have it unplugged from the racechip and into the dummy rn, put it under my engine cover so it holds. I know you work with racechip could you possibly reach out to them and help us all resolve this- they haven't given me time of day and made me feel stupid

I still couldn't see where that "A" connected to.
I don't work for RaceChip, I just a reseller who work closely with them.
So much I can do if you don't purchase from me, I can't tell them to hurry or anything since I don't have access to your account.

Just keep in mind that there are many sensors in the car that BMW uses same kind of connector and at same area.

I've seen guys plugging it to secondary O2 sensors since it is also a same 4 pin connector as the MAP or Boost sensor.

I meant to say we plan on doing it in the future (3-4 weeks) not right away, we are currently doing other installs on the car.

Sorry for the confusion

And a code called ff130f in the permanent errors
