how can you check???
even the big computer can not check it if they wipe the main computer also.
there is 2 kinds of pushing back the counter.
1 is partly push which is you go to the big computer you can see if it has been pushed or not.
the other is full push back which the big computer can not detect the counter not even BMW 1.
I did it in my E46 when I sold it and the guy took it back to BMW abd check and they say it was OK, which it was not.
so you will never know if it is real or not.
after all it is only a software which is easy to hack

you will always have vibration on all rep. wheels not matter how good the hub ring is made.
My 19" ACS type 4 had the hub rings and it vibration at 120km but over 140 it is ok
this is why from now on I will never buy wheels that need hub ring :thumbsdown:.
Get the GTS they dont need hubring and are light too for 18" all round.

chok chok 6 speed steptronics is a common issue, google the steps to reset the gearbox to see if it makes a diff for you but it never worked for me.
ricky san, you asking me?
I did not do it last night because after it was too late last night and I want AK to take rest.
But my gear box draw me more attention because I always feel that the gear 1 to gear 2 is not smooth. Sometimes very "chok" from gear 1 to 2 or 2 to 3 and vice verse; especially in upward slope the gear box should change in 2 -3, 3-2. But the "chok" feeling is not happening in high gear ratio.
I don know u or other buddies have the same problem too
