I checked the internet archive and totally forgot this. Thank you thank you a million times over.

Also tiny bit of good news for anyone else looking. It appears their old email support@motorolanetwork.com is dead along with the whole domain name (and the one where the support docs were hosted. But they seem to have migrated to a different email and different domain (forgetting the content). You can email motorola-network@custhelp.com instead for support.

Hopefully I can get some more stuff from them and post it here.

93 with a tune though. Otherwise 89 or above is fine.

Not a full M is just not an M.

It’s M-sport which is just a fancy looks package BMW uses to make the car appear more premium.

The distinction for say the M340 is they have this package by default and so call them all M340 and so on, but effectively they are just slightly upbadged regular BMWs with a bigger engine so BMW can charge you more.

It’s not poor engineering. Basically any luxury car ends up being unreliable in order to be a luxury car.

You want better suspension on a heavy car? You need air suspension that can leak.

Want active anti roll? You need actuators that can break.

You want road isolation? Fluid filled bushings that can leak.

Something for something. Most luxury car owners lease and move on so these solutions are perfect for them. They’re a trade off for those of us who keep these cars though.

But if you do the work yourself it’s honestly not that expensive and it’s not like regular cars don’t have similar parts wear out.

It’s just the consequences on regular cars are ‘more nvh’ which is less noticeable in a car that was never really refined to begin with.
