I'd like to hear any updates on this.
For reasons that are hard to believe and in any case now uninteresting, only now I have in Portugal the full set of parts needed to replace the exhausts that were broken in the 2016 Motorfestival, and to install the new ones, with the extra bracket.
The interesting part in all this is that I have been using the M3W with my reconstructed exhausts featuring an extra flexy joint just in front of the silencer and they are, by far, the ones that have lasted longer without cracks.
Now, today I was called by the workshop with the news that everything is ready for the exhausts swap. But, when I asked about the "ECU Flash", and what was it about, the workshop owner said that he had asked the factory about it and the ECU would have to be sent to Malvern. And that he didn't know, and nobody was able to tell him, what the "flash" was meant to do or what indeed was changed and for what purpose.
This is where I start to fear for my M3W. I don't like to be kept in the dark on what is going to be changed to the car. And my level of trust on whatever is done at Malvern has been put to the test so much I don't really know if I should take the "brain" out of my car and send it there to be meddled with. Maybe I should just order a new one with the new mapping, have it installed here and compare?
