Pre-LCI M2 Annoying PDC (Parking Distance Control) Alarm
Pre-LCI F87 DCT (yes..., I wasn't lucky enough to find a non-pure MT), Build date Oct 2016, Australian version RHD.
It's an annoying issue that is well known. Basically, the symptom is that once you put the car in reverse and get close to obstacles, the PDC alarm keeping beeping, it won't stop until 1. put in N and stop the engine, power off 2. move forward to get out of it. Recently 1 of my friend got a LCI F87 M2 Pure (manual, but with sunroof, how weird...). Anyway, he does not have the problem, once put in N, the PDC alarm stops. I am wondering if there is a software update to the car (not sure if this is tranmission / drivetrain or infotainment system). Also, another question is that has there ever been any ECU or DCT transmission program update since 2017? I have never brought the car back to dealer for service (use my trusted mechanic - do it together with him ;-). How to check? Thanks. I am getting an OBD to WiFi adapter and BimmerCode, hopefully this can read the data out. Thanks in advance.

This has been well discussed and resolved by swapping the parking switch / driving mode rocker from a standard two series. Look in the “navigation/ electronics” sub forum next time

It will erase all the custom codings you have, but you can just recode them with bimmercode when you're done. If the iStep version is very new bimmercode might need an update first before you can recode, but the app is updated regularly.

Hi SeanWRT,
My experience was that it doesn't. Some settings survived the ISTEP update. That said, I'm in Australia, so maybe there are differences in the regions..? Hi akkando, Quote:
