Coding for mpe

I am finding a way to code the mpe into track mode as default and only by manual changing it will switch to sport mode. Anyone know is this possible?

I don't believe it is possible because the car itself doesn't control the MPE going into Track mode... only the included FOB button can do that.

As 'Track Mode' is not allowed on public roads, BMW would never provide a code anyway, even if the MPE would be offered as a stock item.

Here's how you code it per drive: start engine + double-click the button on the MPE remote. That's all. Easy-peasy.

Is track mode really that loud? Online it doesn't sound obnoxiously loud.

Also for the people that want track mode on all the time. Can't someone just unplug the butterfly valve while the exhaust is in track mode? Seems very simple.
