Coded F87CS MDM tonight. I got two (silent) fault codes stored in memory--see photos. Both of them went away after clearing. Scanned again after 15-20 minutes of driving to make sure I did not have any faults return. No load reversal dampening error!
The car feels very very neutral now. It probably was like this after coding F87CS GHAS. But, I noticed that the back end steps out much easier during turns with additional throttle input with F87CS MDM. From what I have read in this thread and others, you may not feel too much of difference though, if you are already using F82GTS MDM. My baseline is stock F87. This was totally worth the money I spent on the laptop/ESYSX. Thanks again, F87source for your help! |

Hit up @kubax86 for his M2 CS transmission, diff and steering flash. It's perfect!

Also note for people with older isteps f87cs eps, transmission, diff, mdm etc will not be available regardless of who you get it from. You will need an istep update, unless something like the thor flasher updates these individual ecus (not sure if it does). But I agree kubax86 is a solid dude, I've spoken to him in the past and will be getting map updates from him. Just not coding because I prefer to do it myself, and like to fiddle alot. But if you don't know how to do it, or don't want to spend money on esys x because you're the set it and forget it type it probably would be cheaper and easier to have kubax do it. But yeah overall I highly recommend him to do any sort of coding you may need.

I scanned the CAFD file using Esys (see screenshot) and would it make sense that "UNK_PARAM_4" would correspond to F87CS coding for MDM? I'd prefer to do this myself but with Tokenmaster MIA and EsysX no longer being provided, seems we are SOL. |

In the meantime, I assume that F82GTS coding would still work? |

Yes, if it shows up properly it'll work.

It cannot, bimmercode cannot access the ghas, eps, or dsc modules. You could always ask them if they'll support it in the future, because if they do it'll obsolete the Thor flasher.

Thanks. A friend of mine with an OG M2 said that there was a huge difference when he coded the M2C MDM. I wonder if the next step to CS us worth the trouble. BM3 stage 1 seems to help with rpm drop between shifts with a 6MT.

That's an istep update. It's not always needed to get f87cs settings though, if your istep is new enough you can get it just with coding.

By requesting a software update from the BMW dealer to prepare the car for M2CS steering settings will that apply modern encryption that will prevent the car from being tuned in the future?

If it's an m2cs then it's already locked, if you have an m2c it depends on if it's new enough and if it is then yes it'll lock the ECU. OG m2's won't be affected so flash a new istep all you want.

The lag between shift issue was a major focus of one of their most recent tunes. As far as I know, BM3 is the only tuning company that bothered to try and fix it.

So I've been told the package to use now is BimmerUtility? Looks like it costs 100 USD. Anyone used it yet? It's there any other way to code these settings?
