Carbahn Tune and Recall

I just picked up my M8 after getting the tune reflashed. I installed the July software update from BNW and bye bye tune. Anyways my dealer has the tool to do the work. Apparently this is an update to the prior tune which was for the M5 and M8 both. This is a stand alone flash for the M8 only. Will update after it gets warm enough to safely drive her. Also there is a new recall they took care of. Apparently with the fuel system vent system.

Yep. I've been trying to get that tune but it can only be done in California.

Do you have the work order for the recall repair? Like to see what components are affected. Nothing on nhtsa for m850 or m8.

The detail is in this thread... https://f92.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1774034. The M850i is not included but rather specific build dates for the M5, M8, and XMs.
