MESH

Your car as cultural heritage, for good.

We keep combustion cars running, with technology that harmonises people, AI and biofuel.

Enthusiasts' sponsorship brings the dream closer, sooner.

The technology refined on the E46 M3 makes your car sustainable too.

I keep refining diagnostic, repair and tuning tools for my own car, a BMW E46 M3. The tools, their code, the development documents and the Skills are all published. If your agent finds them, it can read them, learn from them, and help keep your car going. And your agent will run the tools as well, taking on what troubles you and your car. I build the unseen mechanism that makes this possible, and publish it. Your support brings closer what you and I both dream of: a car that behaves like a partner. The MILEAGE navigates the way there, and your support reroutes it the way you want.

15/15 MILE

An E46 launcher for the EONON Android head unit (GA9450). Its buttons follow the design of the E46’s centre console; connect a K+DCAN cable and it shows coolant, oil, outside and intake temperatures and engine speed. CSL CONVERT TUNER comes packaged with it. It installs from the public GitHub repository.

80 MILEKF_RF_KORR_DRREL table tuning

20/30 MILE

Makes the fuel-injection correction map keyed on the exhaust-temperature delta tunable from drive logs. It also fixes the current VE tuning adding too much fuel at RO 7.5–10% and 2,200–2,700 rpm.

Iteration

90 MILEReal-time agent connector released

8/10 MILE

Adds support for Matrix, the connector between TUNER and AI agents such as Claude and ChatGPT. Log analysis and operating the app's screens can be done by conversation while driving. Suggested drives for the VE map correction, finding the cause when torque drops out or the idle hunts, proposed parameter changes: all of it can be worked through in conversation with the agent.

Iteration

100 MILEIdle valve tuning released

6/10 MILE

Releases automatic tuning of the KF_LLS_TV table from logs at idle and at RO (relative opening area) of 1% or less, ending hunting at idle and at very light load.

Testing

130 MILEInertia tuning released

6/10 MILE

After fitting a lighter flywheel or re-balancing the engine's rotating mass, measures the engine's inertia and tunes the parameters it affects automatically, sharpening throttle response. It matters most for how the SMGⅡ behaves.

400 MILETool released

270/400 MILE

Predicts, from the fluid dynamics of intake and exhaust, the VANOS angles that give the E46M3 CSL’s VE map (480 points) its highest values and those that make its VE curve smooth. It can also tune for a changed intake system, silencer or front pipe, and, given the specification of a system you want to design, gives a guide to how it would perform.

MIXTURE

The devices that turn food waste into biofuel

E46M3 /// MIXTURE
100/130 MILE

Bioethanol made from food waste such as rice bran, run in the E46M3’s S54. It is made under licence.

100 MILE95% bioethanol from rice bran

100/100 MILE

Brewed into a moromi of around 35% by parallel multiple fermentation, the way sake is made, pressed through gauze, then concentrated in a still to 95%, the physical limit.

105 MILE99% bioethanol with a 3A molecular sieve

0/5 MILE

The concentrated spirit is soaked in a bath of 3A sieve and comes out at 99%. The 3A, once it has taken up water, is dried in a solar oven or the like and used again.

110 MILEBlended with petrol, it fires the S54; the APE X85 confirms the ethanol ratio and how it runs

0/5 MILE

The APE X85 is a flex-fuel kit with an ethanol-content sensor in the fuel line, adjusting the fuel injected to the blend. The S54 is fired up on the APE E85 and the home-made fuel.

120 MILE20 litres of bioethanol, made under licence

0/10 MILE

The American community holds that around E35 gives the most power, and for the E46M3’s 65 L tank that is 20 L. This measures how much feedstock and time making 20 L actually takes.

Not started

125 MILE45 L of petrol and 20 L of bioethanol, driven until the fuel light comes on

0/5 MILE

Make E35 and drive the E46M3 on it, logging data to see how the ignition timing changes. Bioethanol is generally said to cut knock and so the retard; this checks that. Fuel consumption is measured too.

The functions of APE’s own app come into TUNER, so everything is controlled from TUNER — which means the car’s performance can be adjusted while talking with an AI agent.

Matters

Frequently asked questions.

What is a MILE?

The unit for supporting development on MESH. You place it one MILE at a time on the MILESTONEs (features and tools) you want funded. It is a one-time payment: no annual fee, no automatic renewal.

What do I get with MILE?

The page for buyers, Master, and the WORKS build of each tool (WORKS APPS in the M menu), with no time limit. Your name can go on MESH and in the credits of the apps you back, or on neither.

How much does it cost?

The amount is shown on the order screen and the payment screen. Minds starts at one MILE, Masters comes in tens, and the amount is in proportion to the number of MILE.

How can I pay?

Card, Apple Pay and Google Pay (and PayPay for Minds). Payment is handled by Stripe; card numbers are not stored on this site.

Will the MILESTONE I put MILE on definitely be built?

It is not a promise. Placing MILE says where you would like it used; whether, when and how the work is done is decided as development goes. Progress is always shown in the MILEAGE.

What is “Left to the M”?

Placing MILE without choosing a MILESTONE. Where it goes is left to the M: it counts toward the MILEAGE total and goes where it is needed.

Can I get a refund?

No. MILE is voluntary support, and there is no refund when a MILESTONE changes or is dropped, or when a listing is withdrawn.

Can I use it on another device?

Yes. The recovery code on the purchase receipt shown after payment opens Master and the WORKS builds on another device. A link sent from a device you already use works too. Do not show the recovery code to anyone.

Does it work on an iPhone?

Connecting to the car works in browsers on a PC (Chrome, Edge) and on Android. The iPhone’s browsers cannot connect to devices, so they cannot reach the car. Each tile in the M menu shows the devices that tool supports.

Can the tools damage my car?

Reading and writing an ECU carries a risk of faults or a car that will not start. The tools give you material to decide with; they do not guarantee a result. Always take a backup before writing, and do the work at your own risk.

Can a shop, or a business that runs a plant, take part?

A business that wants to build and run the same system as Matrix, for cars or for plants (an operator), joins as Mainstay, by agreement. For cars, that means tools for other models, or a shop’s own tools. For plants, it means running on your own site the system M built by treating the E46 M3 as a small plant. Either way, M hands over the same things: the Skills that let an AI do what M has done, and advice until you and your AI can run it on your own site. M does not do the work; it is set up to run without M. Masters (from 10 MILE) is for deep enthusiasts.

What if I do not want my name shown, or want it removed later?

Untick “List me on MESH” when you order and it is not shown; leave the handle blank and you are listed as Anonymous. To withdraw a listing later, tell us through the enquiry form (there is no refund).

Will the tools be extended to my car, or my customers’ cars?

MILE builds tools for the BMW E46 M3. Other models (the E9x M3, the E6x M5/M6, older Alfa Romeos and so on) are the domain of Mainstay, the operators. To build and run tools for your own or your customers’ models, talk to us about Mainstay.

Can you support my tuning or troubleshooting?

Support is not offered. The approach to tuning and troubleshooting is packaged into the tools as Skills that an agent can use. Talk over what troubles you with your own agent: it learns how to use these tools and works through the problem with you. Only the BMW E46 M3 is covered. Other models are the domain of Mainstay, the operators.

Can tools be built for other makes, such as Audi, Porsche, Alfa Romeo or Ferrari?

Yes. How much the first stage can do depends on the car’s security design, the documentation that is public and how far existing tools go. The development is done by the owner or the business, as Mainstay, and the M gives advice on it and the Skills to do it.
