In today's video, we continue with handling mods by installing these Rear Subframe inserts on my 340i. If you feel like your rear end feels sloppy, this will tighten it right up ⏸️. I honestly feel like this made my L*D feel even more aggressive and pulls harder out of turns. Can't wait to test it out on track in a few weeks 🏁

As mentioned in our previous CustomROM V2 S58 release post, we are going to be posting about the inner workings of it over the next while as there is a lot to talk about!😎

With great power comes great responsibility and in this case, CustomROM V2 provides tuners with close to 40 custom DTCs, or as we like to call them, DTCs on steroids, quite literally. They are the most badass safeties out there today, and here is why:

Each custom DTC code that can be thrown can be configured by a tuner to cut not only any ignition coil, but also any DI fuel injector, nitrous as well as boost by cutting EWG/WGDC (mac solenoid). In addition to this, a tuner can also configure a load/torque limit that any code can limp into for safety, and this is huge as it can instantly dump boost target to 0psi and close throttle to 20%, in case of an emergency situation, eg. Severe knock/timing pull, pi or di injector dying or maxing out on IDC, fuel or coolant pressure exceeding a threshold, turbine speed exceeding max speed, or any of the other close to 40 error conditions defined. In the right tuner’s hands, it’s now become VERY hard to cause catastrophic engine failure even when pushing the limits, courtesy of REV2 and CustomROM V2.

All of these safeties come into play with the REV2 board integration as well but some also apply even without it. Knock CEL in dash indicator feature for instance isn’t just a cute blinking CEL in dash in the case of bootmod3. If knock happens to the level that crosses the tune’s max ignition correction threshold, tuner can set the associated DTC code up with any number of safeties above mentioned, and blink or keep the the CEL steady in dash until the code is cleared. Tuners can also set up individual heal time for any of the codes thrown so they can automatically heal if the error condition is no longer present without requiring a manual code clear.

CustomROM V2 along with the REV2 board is, without a doubt, THE most advanced DME software customization out there today, starting with the S58 which is with select tuners today and available to the general public very soon!💪💪

I know E85 is all the rage, but this is for those of us that run pump gas in their B58s. Most know that pump gas will typically come with some ethanol content. But is that a good thing? Let's talk about it.
