For all the obd adapters listed in bimmercode's website, is there any difference for each of them? Like for F series there's four Bluetooth obd adapters, how to choose?

“UniCarScan“, “OBDLink” or ENET adapter Bimmercode support is also very good and quick to respond. |

Keen to get started tinkering with my new 2020 one series what OBD can i use with the bimmercode app?
I have a cable for my 2015 3 series... could i connect that to my macbook then join the phone as a hotspot? Would it connect to the app that way or should i just buy a dongle |

The pops and crackles can only be brought back by flashing the map on the ecu and not accessible via the normal coding. Does the 2020 build have the pops and crackle removed?

Just had some coding done on the car!
Video in motion Video via USB Change idrive Startup Emblem to BMW M Enable Colder Air Conditioning enable one touch front window close when when door opened Emergency Brake Force Display - Flashing Change startup mode to Enable Comfort Plus Mode Enable sports plus mode Enable Comfort Plus Mode options in Eco Pro Individual Change Dash Layout and Logo to BMW M Enable tire temperature and pressure display Enable one click 5 indicator blink option in Exterior Lighting setting Bower & Wilkins settings. These are not all settings, only the ones I picked. Got to admit I was well impressed to say the least! Sport+ mode is noticeably better than sport! Just had a thrash heading into work and totally loving it! |

You chose some great settings, I want the M logo on my idrive and dash also. Enabling sport plus sounds good! Plus I want to switch off active sound design so I can hear my actual exhaust when the valve is open, sport setting, which also gives that horrible fake sound

That's the problem. I want to have no fake sound with exhaust valve open, which needs to be coded. The settings under Engine sound are:
1. Depending on driving mode (in Sport, exhaust valve is open in this setting but there's loud fake engine sound, so I can't hear the exhaust!) 2. Balanced mode (not used this) 3. Reduced mode (in Sport setting, exhaust valve is closed and there's no fake engine sound) I want exhaust valve open AND no fake engine sound, which can only be coded. I've ordered a Vgate 2 dongle and will use that to change a few things on the car |

Valves are always open no matter the setting and sounds 10 times better. Keep us posted if you can code the valves open mate. |

The Vgate icar pro dongle arrived today so I've disabled active sound (fake interior sound), changed idrive start display to M and a couple of other things. But I can't find sport plus - Is that under expert mode and is there any way to see all those options in English, as they're all in German

I've done it, now got Sport Plus. There's also a Comfort Plus but this doesn't work because there's no Comfort Individual menu, to customise. Sport Plus is on my iDrive now, so I have engine sport plus and transmission sport plus options.
When I try them tomorrow I'll post what each setting is like and what they're both like when set to sport plus. The engine sport plus is interesting, I wonder if it will change the exhaust sound........... Tomorrow Last edited by Gregus330i; 07-18-2020 at 02:46 PM.. |

Well, I coded Sport Plus and the results were nil. I'll explain.
Once coded, Sport Plus appears on the iDrive under Sport Individual settings. 2 items can be Sport plus - ENGINE sound and TRANSMISSION. I tried engine sound Sport Plus first, thinking what could this possibly do to enhance the engine sound? When Sport is selected, together with 'depending on driving mode' setting another another menu of engine sound, the exhaust valve is open - You cannot enhance the engine sound more than this! As I thought, this Sport Plus setting in engine sound did absolutely nothing. I selected Sport under engine sound so I could see if Sport plus improved anything under the transmission setting, then after this experiment I would then select sport plus for both engine sound and transmission. Also experiment with keep car in D then manual paddle shifts (M1, etc) then sport shifts (S1, etc) With transmission in sport plus, there was absolutely no difference at all! Even with sport plus selected also for engine sound as well as transmission there was no change at all, neither was there any change whether driving in D, manual or sport manual. Unless I missed something? (which I don't think I did) I'm open to be corrected/helped! |

My car 100% feels different in Sport+ and the exterior sound pulling away hard is night and day, no idea if my valves being deleted from 200 miles on the clock has something to do with it 🤷🏼*♂️ (3500 odd) on it now. |
