If it's possible with someone having personal experience with all 3 OEM, M2 CS, M4 GTS Steering Coding, in some what basic layman's terms give their experience on them. I'm not a complete Muppet just trying to figure out which maybe the better choices for me.
My M2 is my DD with the odd track day thrown in. Tracks I've been on here in the USA are VIR and COTA Thank you in advance for any input/information |

In F87 DSC (CAFD_000019CC): C_Variante_Fahrzeug_e, I only see F2x/F3x options with 06 being F31. Did you also try swapping C_Laenderkennung for US to ECE? |

Yes I did the euro MDM before anything else. Didn't notice that much of a difference tbh. The GTS setting on the other hand was night and day. |

Not sure, my token expired and I haven't been able to reactivate yet so I can't check.

(My friend told me he'd make me another VM with a working copy of ESYS so I saw no reason to keep the old one)

I just coded the GTS MDM on my M2. I previously flashed BM3 stage 1 and coded custom burble. Now in MDM mode, the burble looks like it has reverted to stock values, whereas Sport and Sport+ seem unaffected. Has anyone else experienced this? I wonder if I need to reflash BM3?

If it helps, my F87 has these codes. I have a 17 with a July 16 build. I did have the software updated recently. Don't know if that makes a difference.

If you don't want to use ESYS then there is this phone app that can also do it:
https://www.thorflasher.com/ You would need to have access to the Dynamic package as a minimum to do that changes - getting a version of ESYS going would be alot cheaper, but more involved. |

Problem??
I've sent a couple of messages out, but I thought I would ask anyone with this.
I was coding my DSC module on my M2. After I changed US to ECE and F87 to F82GTS I did the Code FDL function. I then received the following warnings. Chassis Stabilization, Brake System, and Rear Differential. Is this par for the course when doing this. Thanks to all!!

I'll have to wait until Monday to code everything back to ECE and GTS. The wife has my weekend planned for me!! When I check "Controls" under my vehicle status in idrive it says all systems okay. Also, I have ISTA+. Can I use it to clear the messages if need be?

Yes, you can scan with ISTA, Tool32, or E-sys. If you VO code DSC, ICM or ACSM with factory FA, you will get errors. So, not necessarily invalid coding. Though, can be. If errors went away on their own, may not need to clear. |

I will try again tomorrow and hope all goes well. I'll remember not to lose my mind when the warnings come up. I did not get any errors on ESys, just the warnings from the car showed up on my Idrive screen. I also don't have any warning lights on my instrument panel so far. I don't know if that's because I changed everything back though. I also checked the control section under vehicle status on my Idrive and it says controls ok.

Awesome Dudes!!
I got the courage up to make the Euro MDM and F82GTS changes today.
Now that's how a car should be!! I did press the accelerator in a mildly aggressive manner. I felt like I was 18 and driving my 67 Pontiac Firebird again. It had a 326 with a 4 speed and positraction. Now maybe a Dinan tune and the BMW DTM wing. Can't decide if I want to go with an AC Schnitzer race exhaust or something else. Definitely something with no valves. Thanks to Almaretto, Shawnsheridan,and all of you who helped me through this with your kindness and support.

Hey guys, two quick questions.
1) I coded euro MDM years when I first bought the car. When I add the GTS coding, do i keep the euro change or set that back to US? As in should both parameters be changed at the sane time or just the GTS setting? 2) Has anyone tried Thor? And if so are there any issues? And should we code everything back to default before we use it? I wouldn't mind spending a little money to make life easier. Thanks in advance. |
