The air temp in the cabin does not totally counteract direct radiant gain through the glass when the sun is on the driver. For that, having the extra air blowing directly on you helps.

Edit: This is most noticeable when driving for long periods with the sun coming in from the driver's side.

If you want to test it, just shut that one vent and drive around for a few days.

Using the integrated accelerometer and CAN data (RPM, etc).

Tom,

It appears my DGA gauge is not exactly calibrated for an F80 M3. The torque gauge goes to 450 ftlbs and hp goes to 380.

I downloaded the correct software from Awron's homepage for the F80 and my correct Operating System. I got the drivers installed properly. When I opened the Tool, it doesn't give an update option and the Write Config button stays grayed out. But it recognizes the serial number and everything.

Any ideas?
