x3m x4m rwd coding??

mix2457 · 02-16-2022, 07:08 AM

I want to install rwd coding, I would like to hear advice from users who have experienced this, what are the pros and cons? Any problems with the car?

I've asked in the past, it enables the option in the menu switch between AWD and RWD just like the M5, its not a permanent flash to RWD only, if people are worried about that. Only downside is probably increased rear tire wear and potential understeer due to no drive pull in the front end because it was designed for awd?? but thats a guess. I will probably do this after someone who has already done it chimes in.

That photo above is one I recognize from Mission Performance I believe. This is a pretty cool mod. Just make sure to use it with caution.

I find it hard to believe this flash wouldn't void any warranty...unless they're insuring it similar to Dinan products

I am 100% sure that this flash voids anyones guarantee

Yea warranty gets voided on related parts. If your head light goes bad they wont say because your car is RWD we wont cover it. If you break a axle tho the probably will.
