Convert BMW MPower files from BMW M Laptimer to CSV's in Harry's Laptimer format, compatiable with Race Render 3 and Telemetry Overlay.
Location and heading data seem to be updated at 1hz. Unclear if this come from phone GPS or car GPS. Connecting a 10hz XGPS160 external GPS did not change the GPS update rate.
Car data seems to be updated at 10hz: AccelerationLateral, AccelerationLongitudinal, AcceleratorPedal, BrakeContact, Distance, RPM, Speed, Steering.
The exported mpower files are in fact zip archives. Each archive consists of many .far files, some .json files, and a PNG file. What data is in each .far file seems to vary from vehicle model to vehicle model.
