CS Diff/Steering/DSC Software for OGM2
Hi, wanted to know if anyone has experience with the CS diff, steering, and DSC software on their OGM2.
Is the difference in driving feel significant & is it worth it? https://bimmer-remote.com/products/c...ing-dsc-for-m2 ^this is the product I found, if anyone has used this specific one. Thanks |

Yes, absolutely. The OG M2 is extremely restrictive even in sport+ mode and the CS software lets you get a little more wild with it before intervention. Well worth the money.
I didn't notice a huge difference with the steering.

Noticed a real difference in CS steering parameter, DSC parameter, but didn’t immediately notice the diff parameter in street driving. If you were tracking regularly the before and after diff coding would likely be noticeable as well.
I consider these three updates as musts for any OG F87. I would add full-screen CarPlay, and coding on rear DRL to be on at all times to that same list. |

Thanks for the input! I'll get this installed soon, and I think it'll make a difference for track days especially.
I've done the CarPlay & DRL coding already as well. |

Get a Veapeak BLE+ OBD adapter for $20. Buy the app. And you’re off. You can code in other preferences like folding mirrors and iDrive off with door open. The same adapter with the OnTrack OBD app delivers coolant/oil/iat temps via the CarPlay so it’s a double win. |

I paid dealer $350 (with CCA discount) to do a full I step coding on my OG. I presume it has the latest CS steering feel because how it feels now was not how I picked it up at 11k miles.

Here's my review for protool: https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=2003707 I also have linked guides on how to code eps, dsc, and ghas. So imo if you were to buy a coding app don't waste your money on anything else, get protool. For the obd2 adapter don't waste your money on the cheap elm257 trash, and imo veepeak isn't much better. Get yourself a proper enet wifi adapter made specifically to interface with the bmw flex ray system. This gives you significantly faster connectivity (faster coding, faster flashing, faster ECU data reading) and the capability to access every single ECU on board. This opens the door to tuning possibility in the future as well as as the ability to connect to the car with bmw factory apps like ISTA. If you buy a quality adapter like the bm3 adapter, you get password encryption and sleep mode so you can leave it plugged in without battery drain issues. Here's my review on that: https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=2025504

Faster transfer rates sound great on paper but it’s not like the Veapeak is slow enough to even think about. With DaaP and Bimmer-Remote available I’m happy to leave ProTools alone and let them handle it what I would use ProTools for. I’m normally team overkill but this is one of those things where it doesn’t make a meaningful difference to me. Glad to have it as an option I guess. |

In terms of speed you absolutely notice it when loading really large modules, with a cheap obd2 adapter I used to wait upwards of 10-15 seconds, with the bm3 adapter it's essentially instant. Every bit matters when you're on battery power, as you don't want the car to drop low enough in voltage to make the coding process fail - which can brick things.

Imo it's better to buy a quality albeit expensive part once, and never have to waste money doing it again.

I bought the BM3 wifi adapter and think it's a waste. I use Android and it's much easier to get the USB Ethernet ENET cable going.
I thought the BM3 adapter would be great for everything except you can't access the internet whilst connected to the adapter. So for things like logging whilst you're out driving it's very annoying. |

For me I just have a dedicated in car tablet that just lives in my m2 for logging, coding and flashing. My phone doesn't do that job, and thereby doesn't experience the constant screen on at near max brightness and battery drain every single time in the car. So it saves wear and tear on my phone and puts it on my cheapo tablet. Plus it's easier to read a tablet vs. a phone.

I pretty much just use my m2 as a track car these days. I’ve got about 30 track days in the past 3 years, so I’m still an intermediate driver. I updated the steering and diff profiles to m2cs and removed the brake boost. The brake boost removal definitely improves brake feel and stability. The diff I can’t tell a difference while running in Sport+ on the track. The steering feel in Sport and Sport+ didn’t noticeably improve. However, the steering feel in Comfort is NOTICEABLY WORSE. It’s spooky and requires a lot of attention. I used to like Comfort if I was casually driving on the street, but now I avoid it because it’s exhausting. I may go back to default steering settings.

I coded the CS steering tonight. It kind of surprised me how much lighter it was in sport.
It seems more precise, but I think I prefer the default steering. Gonna give it some more time before I switch back. |

I bought a OnePlus Nord N200 5G for 50 bucks from walmart lol - cheap asf and I have another backup phone now if I ever need it. Works great with ProTool and the BM3 wifi adapter.
