Here you go:

*FEM_BODY* *Expert Mode* *3073*

In [COLOR="DarkRed"]C_HBA_GRHB_ENA[/COLOR] I didn't have the make these changes. The default seems to be having the two lines that contain "F020Codierwert" and "F030Codierwert" checked. So if you vehicle matches this, then no changes here are necessary for activation of this specific feature.

In [COLOR="DarkRed"]C_HBA_ENA[/COLOR] Unchecked the line that contain "disable" and checked the the line that contain "F020_enable (0x01)" .

In [COLOR="DarkRed"]C_HBA_ADAPT_SHUT_ENA[/COLOR] Unchecked the two lines containing "disable", and checked the line containing "F030_enable".

Code before leaving Expert Mode. Done. Worked for me on Adaptive Xenon and confirmed from other sources that it also works for LEDs also, specially on the F22/87(C).

As far as self-leveling beams goes, that was a legal requirement in Europe, for any vehicle equipped with Xenons headlights but was just transferred to US-spec vehicles, since there was nothing restricting that specifically and they enhance safety.

BMW knows how to prefect lightening, they were the first automotive company to pioneer Xenons headlights in 1991, on their 7 Series.

However, as I mention, we (North American market) have some obsolete lightening rules here, where when it was written, they never envisioned a world where headlights would be controlled by cameras and sensors. Thus, were never revised to match the modern lighting technology, so they are neutered when they arrived here.

However, specifically on the F22/F87, I can confirm with certainty that the underlining headlight hardware are the same as the ROW, so the advance operation can be coded back in. I can't speak for other BMW models.

Here is a take on why advance lighting is restricted:

That's great to know. I know on my Audi Q7 you cannot code it and get full functionality (only some). Do you get flashed by oncoming drivers at all, or at least any more than normal?

I think I'd get into coding just for this feature alone. I wonder if there are folks who have the hardware and the know how to code features into cars for folks like me. I know it's not hard but I have no patience. LOL.

Thanks.

cleaned and waxed her for the 1st time and man it's a freaking pain to clean the inner barrel of the wheels, there are so many spokes and very difficult to reach inside to clean them well, i use wheel woolies and they were not effective as well , please suggest some ideas here

Nice clean up! Beast looking good.

Regarding wheels, you are not going to like what I have to say, but here it goes. . . do not worry about inner barrel. If you drive the car, you CANNOT keep the wheels clean any longer than it takes to get out of your subdivision.

So, if you want a few moments of pleasure a clean appearance can provide, just focus on what you can easily reach and see (e.g., spokes and outer barrel).

Get used to the matted wheel look provided by rust (rotor) and brake (pad) dust. . . . embrace it because you really have not other choice.

Thanks , i know they will become dirty in mins but normally i clean inner barrel as well and never faced some daunting task cleaning them, the wheels look awesome and aggressive to commensurate the car but what a freaking pain to clean them

P.S why does my pics look awfull in this forum they look great in my phone and computer , are they too high resolution?

I upload pics via computer because they always look like trash via mobile app.

@Poochie this is exactly what I needed! Step by step and holding my hands lol. I should have done it today, but completely forgot. So might as well do it tomorrow.

Thought for sure you were posting to let us know how awesome the Bimmercode changes provided by Poochie worked for you. . . giddy-up brother!!!

When I first read Poochie post, I was like this is way too complicated. But then looking at it just now, I realized he added screenshots and then I reread and it seems pretty simple enough!

It's not that difficult and Bimmercode makes a backup, incase of any issues..

I suggest you skim through this thread for more detail information on the subject.

Hope it works out 👍🏻

Edit: just Ignore all the naysayers, I'm a million times positive that it can be coded. I can't argue with own four eyes..

I have the full version if that matters.

If you scroll further down, Poochie wrote the directions as well as screenshots.

How do I enter expert mode in BimmerCode?

Go to "Front Electronics Module" and "Expert Mode" will be on the bottom left

Thanks bro. I'm going to do this.

I truly hope that it doesn't cause the car to go up in flames or cause me to blind oncoming traffic.

Is it something that cops could ever argue or prove isn't DOT compliant?

I don't know how the cops would determine if you coded something. If you do "blind" oncoming traffic, it will just be like if someone left their high beams on. And let's be honest, that happens all the time...based on Poochie's video links. You can see the difference right away.

Also, as Poochie stated, you're not writing new code. The code is already present and you're simply turning it on/off.

Let us know how it goes, I plan to do mine tomorrow.

I love this car more every day.

You read my mind 🙌

When you see it in action, you'll know it's not really glaring anyone; the camera determines when there is car ahead and move the beam pattern out of the way of an upcoming driver. It's very evident where the beam is pointed.

The reason it's restricted in North America is not because it's ineffective but more so that the government regulatory bodies responsible for automotive lighting (NHTSA) did not compensate for modern headlight operation and is unwilling to spend the resources to revise them; so their motto is if it ain't broken, then why try to fix it.

Kind of like most of the US Constitution and Electoral College but that's a whole other subject.

However, all that is changing now that NHTSA is getting a push from manufactures:

These are magic.

Combine with a double recommended dose of Meguiars NXT Car Wash which puts a coating on the wheels and repels dirt and life becomes easier.

How do you use it for cleaning the inner barrel , this fine for outer barrel and the spokes

My car flipped from "At the port" to "In transit" today. Since the NYK ship (Volans Leader) left 4 days ago and the W&W ship doesn't leave till tomorrow, I'm inclined to believe my car is on the Volans Leader which arrives in SoCal on November 12th.

I was hoping mine was on that ship as it's next port is Brunswick and I am doing PCD...but it didn't flip today, at least not yet. Argh!

I just called BMW and found out my car is indeed on the Volan's Leader. Left on 10/16 with estimated 27 day transit.
