I haven't experienced the issue you are referring to (constantly getting into ABS too early) but I have experienced inconsistent brake pedal pressure feel due to intervention of BMW safety systems when the throttle to brake transition is either too fast or too hard/abrupt. I have noticed this in virtually every M car I have driven on track. (F87,F87C,F87CS, F80/2C, M8 Comp) and have learned that these cars like a slightly slower throttle to brake transition. Its possible that this same scenario could be leading you into ABS.

When talking to BMW instructors, I learned that when the car thinks you are in a panic braking situation it rapidly boosts the brake pressure. They agreed it can be annoying, but suggested this is a street car first and the safety systems are necessary. With a slightly more gradual ramp up in brake pedal pressure this scenario is avoided. It also allows little more time for weight to transfer to the front wheels for braking which could help if there is an ongoing issue with loss of front wheel grip in braking and ABS intervention.

Thank you for the link. It does sound like there is some coding options... I'm comfortable learning to do my own coding. Do you guys have recommendations for a site / forum specifically for coding? Or recommended software to use with maximum (deep levels) of access / customization capable?
