I have the m2 cs eps (steering) and it's amazing, alot lighter than stock (stock imo is way too heavy you end up fighting the wheel and loosing precision) but so much better feel.

I don’t think anyone has confirmed that the coding is different bn the M2C and M2CS.
The “M2CS” coding has been available for years bc that’s what BMW labels the coding for the M2C. That’s what I run on my OG M2. I don’t think anyone has seen M2CS specific coding available, which would be called “M2GTS” or something similar. Can anyone confirm that there actually are three different coding packages available for the M2, M2C, and M2CS, and how exactly that coding is labeled by BMW? kubax86 Do you have detailed info on this since BMW code labeling is confusing?

So these are the options: 1) F087 = normal OG m2 2) F087CP = m2 competition 3) F087CS = m2CS Here is an image of the screen shots: 1) This is the GHAS note the module dss IPM (ignore the search box): https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...&postcount=135 2) This is MDM coding: https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...&postcount=152 So yeah there is indeed specific m2 cs mapping, it has been out for awhile now in the ISTEP because bmw was preparing for the cs model for a long time. Personally my esys launcher is too old to code these cs features for the mdm and ghas so I am on f082gts coding for now.

But, I haven’t stayed on top of this stuff since I was playing with MDM coding back in 2018, so maybe things have changed! |

Really we got screwed by the DCT if you think about it. BMW's refusal to mate DCT with B58 is probably why the B58 didn't get used. Obviously, it would have been really easy since M240i already used B58. A B58 with the Z4 M40i state of tune would have been great. I love the S55, but I think B58 is a little better for most people.

Also used Kobax for all three updates and can confirm they represent a significant upgrade all around.
Pair that with fullscreen CarPlay and this becomes a very worth while exercise. MDM is far less intrusive and Sport+ steering isn’t as heavy. Feedback feels improved but could be placebo. If I were to start the ownership experience over again this would be done on day 2. |

Do you have to change back to stock when you bring the car in for service?
I have something similar but I have to remove the install before I take my car in for service. Plus there are some features I can't access to code. At least using BimmerCode.

I used him for carplay on both my cars, which was a significant endeavor because my telematics aren't enabled (us spec, located overseas)
he's great!
