I've just been told that my 2001 M5 has a pretty old software revision on the ecu / dme.

Is there anything that I could be missing? Are the newer revisions better overall?

How can I get a later revision?

Is that you Mike?

We need to set you up with WinKFP, then we can take you up to the latest version for your hardware.

Cheers,

Martyn

if it aint broke why fix it? I cannot imagine there will be any significant or noticeable benefit but happy to be proven wrong.

I had to update it to get it to work with an obd2 wifi dongle I wanted to use. Be careful as it will blat any aftermarket tune you have also. I got mine done at a local indy that had autologic system.

I have a stock tune at the moment.

How much did it cost you?

Thanks.

Buy a cable from Jimmy @ cable shack, it'll come with INPA, DIS and WinKFP, then you can do it yourself.
