| JE can't tune my manual D3 |
|
I know they watch the site and are a sponsor so hoping for a bit more info, a letter dropped through the door today saying they can't tune manual D3's at the moment and my booking has been postponed. I am puzzled as to why it would be much different to an auto with regards to this work.
Can anyone shed any light on it? 2020 BMW X1 18d XDrive X-Line Auto

If applied to a manual the engine revs between gear changes making it a very uncomfortable ride. 10forcash will explain it all In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Seems strange?
I booked mine into JE last week [for July] and I don't think I was asked if it were manual or auto?

The mappings are different for auto and manual on all MY's. I'm aware that they have an 'issue' currently although I understood that resolution in the near future was unlikely as they don't get enough in to justify the time sorting it out

Guess I'll have to look for someone else who can do the manual at the same price  2020 BMW X1 18d XDrive X-Line Auto

...So a 'cheapie' that isn't available yet or a reasonably priced one you could have tomorrow. 
as I mentioned before, i've no intention of price-matching 
there's not much of June left either...

Not sure what to do TBH, they did say the 50% discount will be held until a tune is available for the manual box, might sack it for now and buy some AT2's though. 2020 BMW X1 18d XDrive X-Line Auto

Well if you want a tune that does work on a Manual Disco3, want to improve the torque and fuel economy....
and want to pay by credit card
Give me a call!
