Coding awesome features for the BMW G87 M2 using Bimmercode!

Hey everyone, welcome back to another video on the G87 M2! Today we're doing some basic coding to the BMW M2 using the Bimmercode app. This app is very easy to use and I was impressed with the amount of options that can be changed on this new platform (G8X). We made a host of changes to our car, none of which void the warranty as these are all options built into the car's computer. The whole process took a total of 15 minutes and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to customize their car's features and settings. A big selling point for me was the simple fact that the app allows me to turn off the very annoying active sound design (fake exhaust sounds through speaker system). Enjoy the video!
Check out Bimmercode! - bimmercode.app/
These are the cables I used to connect bimmercode to my M2:
OBD to Enet cable (yellow colored cable you see on amazon)
Enet to USB-C (For those with USB-C on their phones):
www.amazon.ca/dp/B077KXY71Q?p...
Bimmercode recommends using the OBDLink CX
THINGS I CHANGED IN THIS VIDEO USING BIMMERCODE:
Time until automatic lock: Changed from 2 minutes to 30 seconds
Default Driving Mode: Sport
Exterior lighting switch-off allowed: Active
Automatic mirror tilt value: Changed from 90% to 70%
One-touch turn signal 5 times: Active
Video via USB: Active
Warning at start-up: Not Active
Camera warning: Not Active
Signal Tones: Rolls-Royce (HIGHLY RECOMMEND, SO COOL)
Active Sound Design: Not Active
01B4 - Active Sound Design: Deactivate
Ambient lighting color contour: Red
Ambient lighting color: Red
Ambient lighting color: Changed from Ivory to Red
Ambient lighting color bottom: Changed from Ivory to Red

G80 M3 here. I've never been able to get default driving mode to change to something other than the base comfort mode. Yet I've done exactly what you did many times over the last 2 years. Did your coding hold and thus you start up in something other than the base comfort/eco mode?

@@F1SimStreams Nope, unfortunately that was one of the coding options that didn't change anything at all. Bummer because it would have been very nice..

@@DailyDownshift I've re-reseached this most of today and just got back from re-trying. Didn't work. But I'll say this, on cold startup, the engine doesn't seem to love anything more than "comfort". I think the car prefers the closed valve back pressure. Finally, I'm certain it's possible via expert mode, but 1) scary and 2) with all I've read and personally observed, I think oem default mode is best for the car.

I have a Z4 M40i in the uk 🇬🇧. After fitting a dsp/amp the asd was deafening but also the indicators. Turning off the asd left the car totally silent. The euro cars have an OPF filter will killed everything. The OPF was bypassed to left the car too loud when combined with a sports cat 200 cell downpipe. A straight through resonator in place of the OPF bypass bought me perfection. The loud indicators were solved when the Rolls Royce sounds. The reduction was about 17decibels

I assume the exhaust video is getting ready to drop soon!? I'm just living vicariously through you while I keep dreaming and watching all the videos of the new M2 lol. I built one online in the new frozen portimao blue with black rims. The look has definitely grown on me from when it was first revealed.

Yessir! Expect the exhaust video to drop in 2-3 days. Tomorrow the exhaust and 2 others mods are being installed :)

No regrets but I think if you're building a track car, auto is probably the way to go. Manual works just fine on track though!

So I tried to code in exactly same way to turn off the auto start/stop on my 2023 BMW M340i, the app was giving me message that it was successfuly coded but when I disconnected the Bimmercode, it didn't change anything and the auto start/stop was still active. Any tips how to solve this?

Do you need to turn the car off completely after coding or just start it ?

Would probably be smart to do that so the car has a chance to clear any codes. I started mine right after coding and had a headlight error. Went away as soon as I turned the car off completely and started it again.

Good morning 😊 Are you sure this kinda modification isn’t going against warranty or maintenance package like the 4years/100k miles ? Bmw in Europe is damn severe with not authorised people that “touch” ECUs P.s. love you videos 👌🏻🔝

@DailyDownshift 3 ай бұрын

I don't see why it would mess with warranty or maintenance. This isn't custom coding the ECU, just making changes that are already build into the iDrive. Basically just turning stuff on and off.
