ACTIVE AUTOWERKE BMW E46 M3 PERFORMANCE TUNE SOFTWARE

Active Autowerke's engineers have spent countless years fine tuning the E46 BMW M3 software. With on-going revisions and updates being made continuously both on our Race and Forced Induction programs, they have made possible the refinements needed for a true hi-performance street tune. Within specific areas of the MSS54 DME, the algorithms have been altered to achieve more usable horsepower and torque by re-working features such as the engine VANOS (dual variable valve timing), fuel and ignition maps and torque dampening. Other noticeable results are better warm starts, with a crisper and a more responsive throttle. So whether you enjoy you car as a daily driver or enjoy the weekend track outings our BMW M3 tune software will be able to accommodate your needs.

Through careful, detailed remapping to the entire DME we have been able to increase your S54's output by 14 HP and 11 ft lbs of torque on a stock BMW E46 M3 with factory settings for a normal street car. We also have different upgrades available for off-road use like sport button modification, SMG shift light feature to your 6 speed model, 02 Simulation, etc. The software is designed to operate with gasoline that has an average octane rating with full emissions to create a clean burning combustion with good AFR’s all within factory specifications. Paired with our BMW M3 Sport Header the gains are even more dramatic!


Key Features:

-Part Throttle Remapping
-Specific Software Available for CAIS
-Increase in Torque and Horsepower
-Sport Button Remains ON When Car is Turned Off

Software Installation Options:
1) You can install / upload the software performance tune yourself with the aid of a laptop (you provide) and the SIMON 2. The SIMON 2 comes included at no extra charge when you purchase the Active Autowerke E46 M3 performance software. (Exception is the Z4M with the S54 motor).
2) Not comfortable about performing this task yourself as a DIY project. Let one of the Active Autowerke Dealers in your state perform this task for you. Recognized Dealer PAGE Look for Dealers highlighted in RED.
3) If you remove the DME from the E-BOX within the engine bay of your M3, then just pack it securely, insure the content for $1,000 replacement value, then ship either via FedEx or UPS to Active Autowerke. We will massage the tune, then turn around the package usually the same day via FedEx 2nd Day Air back to you (we pay the freight back to you) at a insured value of $1,000.00. Remember to add the ECU FORM with the the DME. (This shows who is sending the DME, your contact information and current mods on your M3)

TUNING FOR YOUR AIR INTAKE OPTIONS:

1. If you own a K&N drop-in performance air filter. The CFM flow rate is much greater than the factory paper element. We have seen such improvements while running a factory/stock E46 M3 on our in house dyno. As such, we strongly believe that the performance tune should take into account the style of air intake installed on each specific M3. You will receive a specific tune to accommodate your specific air intake at no additional charge to you. Just look to add your style of intake in the shopping cart CHECKOUT.

2. Same thing applied if you own a K&N #63 Air Intake System or AFE Intake System. These systems require that the factory mesh baffle within the factory air box be removed. As such, the air turbulence created is much different and can influence the CFM flow rate as well. We strongly believe that the performance tune should take into account the style of air intake installed on that specific M3. You will receive a specific tune at no additional charge to you. Just look to add your style of intake in the shopping cart CHECKOUT.

3. Having installed a CSL style intake system dramatically changes the air intake charge set-up. Not only is this radically different, but the software to operate with the CSL style is also different. You will need to run a Alpha N tune configuration.
There are also different configurations of CSL airboxes, from the genuine to aftermarket replicas.
Please call an Active Autowerke Sale Associate about CSL and Alpha N configurations. There is an additional cost to run this set-up.

TUNING FOR YOUR HEADER OPTIONS:

1. Have BMW factory headers with BMW factory catalysts installed. Our tune was made primarily for this set-up. You will receive a specific tune to accommodate your header configuration at no additional charge to you. Just look to add your style of headers in the shopping cart CHECKOUT.

2. Have BMW factory headers installed on your M3, but configured by you to run without the catalysts for gains of additional horsepower. However, a 02 SENSOR FAULT CODE will be evident. We can satisfy this fault code through the software configuration.
NOTE: The vehicle can only be operated for OFF ROAD and /or RACING purposes ONLY and not be operated on highways and public roads that requires all necessary emission compliance to be intact.
You will receive a specific tune to accommodate your header configuration as well as satisfy the fault code. Normal cost is $200.00 for this O2 BYPASS feature, but if bundled with the Active Autowerke performance software, the cost is only $100.00 as an additional cost to you. Just make the selection to reflect your header with the number of 02 sensor holes. Example, the factory header has four 02 sensor holes. Just look to add your style of headers in the shopping cart CHECKOUT.
3. Have BMW aftermarket headers installed on your M3, but configured by you to run without the catalysts for gains of additional horsepower. However, a 02 SENSOR FAULT CODE will be evident. We can satisfy this fault code through the software configuration.
NOTE: The vehicle can only be operated for OFF ROAD and /or RACING purposes ONLY and not be operated on highways and public roads that requires all necessary emission compliance to be intact.

Just look to add your style of headers in the shopping cart CHECKOUT.

6 SPEED SHIFT LIGHT OPTIONS:

Just like the E46 M3 with SMG gearing, your BMW E46 M3 with 6 speed can now enjoy a Shift Light feature. Preview the video showing how a 6 speed now has a shift light feature. We perform this upgrade through the software at no additional cost to you. Just look to add your 6 Speed Shift Lights in the drop down on this page.

SMG CSL GEARBOX FLASH OPTIONS:

Just like the European version BMW E46 M3 CSL that has a crisper, more precise shifting on the SMG, so too can you enjoy a similar shifting experience and achieve even better gear changing times. We perform this upgrade through the software at no additional cost to you. Just look to add your SMG CSL Gearbox Flash in the drop down on this page.

SOFTWARE DATA LOGGING OPTIONS:

Our Data Logger gives you the capability to log data from your vehicle in real-time. It is simple to use and will allow for a more accurate and personalized remote tune. Data logger works with the SIMON 2 as a ADD-ON for only an additional cost of $59.00 to you, delivered to you electronically via e-mail.

AIR PUMP BY PASS OPTIONS:

If you have a defective air pump, you may notice a check engine light on your dashboard, or may also notice the pump is consistently noisy for 30 seconds to 2 minutes after startup. Replacing this pump often quiets noisy startups, turns off check engine lights caused by certain codes, and keeps your vehicle running perfectly. One can expect a normal replacement cost to be in the $500.00 range.
Most racers prefer to eliminate this part for weight savings and create a cleaner engine bay layout. However, a 02 SENSOR FAULT CODE will be evident. We can satisfy this fault code through the software configuration.
NOTE: If this part is eliminated, the vehicle can only be operated for OFF ROAD and /or RACING purposes ONLY and not be operated on highways and public roads that requires all necessary emission compliance to be intact. Normal cost is $200.00 for this Air Pump BYPASS feature, but if bundled with the Active Autowerke performance software, the cost is only $100.00 as an additional cost to you. Just look to add Air Pump BYPASS in the drop down on this page.

Great for chewing but very sharp and mangled in a few days
Color: Blue Gator, Size: 1 Count, Color: Blue Gator, Size: 1 Count
I thought this was a fantastic idea having baking soda added for fresh clean teeth while enjoying a new toy. I wanted to review 2 main things about this. First, if my dog enjoyed this toy. That answer would be yes absolutely! She is chewing it as I’m writing this right now. She can spend a good amount of time chewing away on this and it keeps her busy without having to use a rawhide treat which we only try to use if we re going to be gone for longer then 4 hours. The kids love playing fetch with her and she stays engaged the whole time. It is very heavy and when being thrown can become a weapon so I always supervise! Last, the durability of the toy. So it is durable but not completely. As you can see the toy got very sharp where she has been chewing it and I’ve even noticed a little blood on it which means it’s cutting her gums. It wasn’t a large enough amount for me to take it away. It is still almost the exact same size but maybe after a month I will re edit this for more accurate on durability since it’s only been about a week that she has gotten it. Overall, I would recommend this toy it’s a great price and keeps her attention a lot more then other toys I spent twice the amount of money on!

Too Hard
Color: Blue T-Bone, Size: 1 Count
I have a pit puppy, 20 lbs, who loves to chew. She's huge for her age, and I wanted to get her a new toy. I bought two different toys, hoping she would like one. The other toy was a hit, they both jumped at it and were excited about it, probably because it had rawhide rings that went with it. This one was immediately thrown to the side, even though my pit loves to chew on non edible toys. I think this one was just too hard, because both her, and my Chihuahua-Jack Russell, weren't interested. It didn't have any smell to attract them, which is why I bought it, because they love peanut butter stuff. I'm not going to go as far as to lick it and taste it... I'm pretty sure it won't taste like peanut butter, either. I feel so bad for my little pittie, she's just sitting here with a sad look on her face because my other dog stole the fun chew toy. I've immediately ordered another of one of those so they both have one, but I've just money wasted on this one. It's probably better they don't like it, I'd be worried about them breaking their teeth. I know it's supposed to be for power chewers, but it has no give whatsoever, just extremely hard, shiny plastic. It's useless, unless you're planning on filing it into a point and making a prison shank. Maybe you can leave it in front of the fridge for your SO to step on in the middle of the night when he goes to steal your almond milk. I'll figure out some way to use it. I did dip it into my boyfriend's peanut butter jar to let my puppy lick it, but I can do that with a spoon. I wanted her to feel like she got something, maybe my other dog will let her have a turn with the fun toy after awhile. That's the only reason I gave it 3 stars. You can dip it in peanut butter and I was being generous.

Can become brittle with sharp edges with use.
Color: Blue T-Bone, Size: 1 Count
Our little dog loved chewing this, however after chewing the toy became jagged and brittle with sharp edges that cut into her upper lip which took about 2 weeks to heal. Unfortunately the return window had closed.

Busy bone

My dog loves these!! Great busy bone! And they can hold it with her paws really well. It does kill your foot if you step on it barefoot in the middle of the night. This is a picture of the bone after 7months.
