    We can now delete sap, evap, cats and any other fault codes as well as tuning on all ME7.2 ecus remotely, which is any m62tu.
    Only need to send it in for certain things, like m5 cluster lights and other repair services like ews syncing/virginize or complete EWS removal.

    Will be working on it soon. Just a matter of having a local ms42 car get put on the dyno for a few hours.

    Excellent to know. I'm assuming that when those emissions systems are tuned out, it's transparent for emissions inspection. In upstate NY where I am, our inspection includes being hooked up to a scan tool that Albany reads and gives a go/no-go on in real time. Long as they see those systems with a green light, I'm in.

    Same here in Washington, you can have one not ready, all other monitors needs to be either ready or turned off completely and show up n/a
    We have ability to set any one of them to n/a.

    Same here as well in NC. From 1996 to 2000 we can have two not ready and from 2001+ only one not ready is allowed.

    Ok great. My inspector is a friend of mine. The code scan is the only part of the inspection that's out of his hands. I'll ask him if "extra" N/A monitors are an issue (i.e., will it raise a red flag if a 2003 has N/A for its cat efficiency monitor) and will go from there.

    No problem. Here I just tested a car for fun, turned off cat manitoring, sap, and evap and went and passed emission test here locally with all of them set to N/A.

    Looking for an e39 Touring black carpet set, including the rear cargo cubbies and side sections!
    ALSO looking for 540i 6speed manual transmission sets (2001+ pedals with switches, driveshaft, gearbox), for the 6speed swap! Probably not for a while....

    Got my bank-2 upstream O2 sensor replaced, and replaced all spark plugs, found out a lot of burnt/build up on O2 and left spark plugs, must be leftover from bad fuel because car does not burn any oil at all,
    car runs very smooth now, also putting new OE MAF as well just in case, why? Because I wasn't sure what's making "lean on/off idle" , and few months ago I had MAF code once as well, so might be the sign of a bad MAF

    I usually cut crazy deals on extras with a purchase of a tune.

    I attempted to do the headlight adjusters on my late production 02, I tried baking them with no luck unless 200 for 10 min isn't long or hot enough. The ship in a bottle method blows... Messed with the high beam adjuster for 3 hours trying to get it in with no luck. Got pissed and decided to call it a night before I threw the Damn thing.

    I think I did mine for something like 10-15 minutes at 250ish. As long as the lenses are a decent distance away from the heater lines it should be fine.

    I guess I'll try that tomorrow. I believe I had a September build car but I never found a definitive answer to when they switched adhesives.

    Ah ok...I am in CA and was hoping you were closer so I could install the adjusters for you via ship in a bottle method.

    Thanks for the offer Aryan, I felt like I almost had it a few times last night but I couldn't get it perfect to get the adjuster screw to go in but it felt like it was in the right spot. Just so I'm sure I'm doing it right, the flat part goes towards the wall of the light and on the high beam side correct?
