Retrofit drivelogic button?

Hi Guys!

I have buy the Car recently and comparing to M4 the speed of the dkg is slow. Anyone have never try to retrofit the drivelogic button?

The programming on the I-drive is not a problem...coding should be not so difficult if we have the cafd file of an m3/m4.

Thanks for the help that anyone will provide!

If I understand for example with dsc off the transmission speed is not the fastest

2016 BMW 330e  [0.00]
2012 BMW 1M coupe  [10.00]
2017 BMW M2  [0.00]
I've done that on my 2017 M2 and the speedometer shows "C1 - C2 - C3 - C4,..." instead of "D1 - D2 when the gearbox is in automatic mode.

And the gearbox seems constantly in" Comfort" mode. The downshifts in Sport mode seem slower than before.

I might go back to the original soft...

Guys to make everything working I try to make a brain storming list...I think we need to
- wait m2 software release for kombi
This is the topic mandatory to make a sensed upgrade/ retrofit

- retrofit m buttons in the steering
- retrofit m buttons in central console
These two are obviously

- check wiring for m buttons in central console ( if is the same or not )

- flash dct, icm, m diff, kombi( when m2 released )

- on pre lci replace kombi module with new one (looking at spy picture is possible that also lci have to replace kombi with cs kombi )

- Code fdl or vo the hu nbt evo ( not necessary flash also this )

- Others?

Then the retrofit in my opinion is completed...

Should be same speed as m4, maybe there is something wrong with your car.

The DCT in the m2 relative to the m4 is not a common complaint or even comparison point.

AS mentioned many times. The GTS flash does not work for the M2.

Drive logic button is retrofittable. But the wiring job is a bit cumbersome to do. May need the LCI cluster to get it to display also

I agree with you about m2 comp cluster but wiring is only for drivelogic button, 3 wire, not so hard.
