    Good video Sal! Do you know exactly how to determine what the AH of the battery is when coding? I keep seeing conflicting info online. I'm like 95% sure my new one is 90AH but want to make sure 👍 😅

    You hit the nail on the head bro. I can’t believe you still have more under your sleeve. I gotta say this one has gotta be one of my favs from all of your videos. Weight savings for the low, can’t beat that. When the time comes for my batt swap, I’m defo doing this too.

    Thanks! Every bit of weight savings helps with how heavy the vert is. So far I have lighter wheels, exhaust, battery, etc. would love to do lighter seats, but very difficult with how the E93 seatbelts are.

    Sal what’s up how u ? I figure you are somebody I can ask who will have an answer .. I have just installed a 94ah battery in my m3 … previous battery was a 92ah .. the device I have only registers and doesn’t code … do you feel I should pay a shop to change my ah to the new 94ah since I’m going to a shop tomorrow ? Or is it fine if I leave it ? I’ve been doing some reading and they are saying if it’s that close it can just be left .. but I rather play it safe than sorry what do you say my guy ? Also upon watching your video and from what else I’ve seen .. there isn’t too much options to place certain numbers 92 94 .. and to keep it as close to the 90 or whatever it may be .. I see I may not even have to change it . But I’ll still appreciate your input
