Lets see if we can get my $1800 2010 335i Flashed for the low-low price of FREE!

Hey guys, just picked up a 2010 335i Auto w/ 140k miles. The car is definitely a project, but I had it running and driving the day after buying it before lunch time.. now today I've been driving the car around, it feels great other than having a light on for ABS. AC is now ice cold thanks to some walmart freon and a little electrical fix. Other than being ugly, the car is for some daily driving.

Now heres where I'm at with the car. I believe it already has a tune, and heres why:
- It feels slightly quicker than a normal stock N54 (I've already owned two, and worked on/driven 2 within the last two weeks).

-It has catless DPs with no DP fix or CEL.

That being said, obviously I don't want to run a mystery tune on the car, and I do plan to turn it up in the future anyhow.


Now here is where I have some questions.

1. I had an 07, K-line car. The file failed to write with the BB app and with the help of Trevor we ended up having to nuke a stock flash back onto it with WinKFP (This was after attempting with 3 computers, and 2 cables (one of which being the BG cable I have now). That being said, he always mentioned the Dcan cars were much easier to work with and didn't give as much trouble.. should I anticipate any issues with this car?

2. Speaking of Dcan, the BB app is showing that my car is using Kline protocol (No matter what position the BG switch is in). The car is a 2010, IJE0S 335i. It should be Dcan correct?

3. How long should it take to copy the "factory" file off of the car? Trevor asked last time and I responded with an hour- he said that was much too long.

Thanks guys!
