You do have engine sound under sport individual, all M135i F40's have it
Press sport button, on the screen it should show SPORT, SPORT INDIVIDUAL. There should also be a PLUS option on your coded car. Press sport individual - there are 3 sub headings - Steering, Engine, Transmission.
Steering:
Sport
Comfort
Engine:
Sport
Comfort
Transmission:
Sport
Comfort

There is as you mentioned another setting for engine sound under the main car settings which has 3 options:
Depending on driving mode
Balanced
Reduced

When I coded mine with sport plus, I had additional plus options under engine & transmission but sadly both did nothing. Oh well, I coded it back to normal now. At least I got rid of that awful fake interior sound now!

Sorry mate think I've got the wrong end of the stick 😂 I thought you were on about the fake sound in individual. You sure the engine setting is for sound

Out of curiosity how did you code in sports plus?

I couldn't find it in the option list when I searched for it using bimmercode. I am using the uniscan obd.

Also, i got rid if ASD.. the exhaust sounds much better now.

Yes mate, I'm sure engine is for sound because transmission is the only setting that changes the way the car drives, gearbox either in sport or sport comfort (which is better than just comfort, the button comfort which gives a bit of a laid back gear change and also throttle response.

Expert mode, it's not as scary as it sounds. I am interested to see if you can actually code it to work with your unicarscan, because I was about to buy one. I used a Vgate icar pro to do all the coding on my car.

You need to go to, on Bimmercode, MGU-headunit under expert mode, then scroll down to FES. You want FES_SPORT_EXPERT which will be ticked nicht activ, not active. Tick activ then click CODE and wait for it to reset. Once reset, you should see PLUS as an additional setting to SPORT & SPORT INDIVIDUAL on the idrive display. It also shows PLUS as an additional option under SPORT INDIVIDUAL menu for ENGINE and TRANSMISSION. But neither worked on my car. Also, I noticed that highlighting the word PLUS on the screen then pressing enter also did nothing! So I thought maybe I need a more extensive adapter, like unicarscsn or Obdlink LX or MX.
To add to this, there's also a setting for XTRA BOOST, which I coded and this wording showed up on the idrive screen but was unable to highlight, like you can highlight the words SPORT and SPORT INDIVIDUAL. All coded back to standard now until someone can explain why I can't code sport plus.

This sounds exciting.. I will give it a go and let you know.. the only thing I can think of is that there may be extra coding required for the sport plus to work..

So.. I was able to code in sports plus like you mentioned Gregus330i.. its very simple to do. I tested the sport plus option and it doesn't seem to do anything more than what the sport option does. I have a feeling that there is something else we need code in so that it fully works.

I played around with the M display settings while I was there and I managed to code in the M setting, however that doesn't do anything either. As in you can get into the menu option and view the exhaust flap settings, dsc mdm, but when you click to change the function nothing happens.. so I coded it back to normal.

I had to do an additional step under Body Domain Controller and changed that to sport expert. I also noticed the xtra boost function but I didn't code it in.. for now.
ATTACH]2369100[/ATTACH]

The drive:
Almost immediately I noticed that the downshift gearing is much faster (sport engine and transmission) I think the up shift is faster too.. what happens in sport plus is that it doesn't hold the gears for long like in normal sport mode (sport engine and transmission) also something else that I found a bit disappointing is that the bubbles are no longer there in sport Plus under deceleration..not sure why this is the case because the gear changes are lightning-fast maybe some other coding is required

Excellent! Thanks for this, you have answered my question and it is as I thought, I need a better OBD adaptor because Vgate icar pro can't access Body Domain Controller. I'm ordering the uniscan today from Germany. 49 Euros plus postage, total 63 Euros.

Cool.. I had the vgate as well and it worked fine for my f30 but bimmercode stopped supporting the vgate adapter that I had.

Uniscan is pretty good. Bimmercode recommends these ones for the f40
“UniCarScan“, “OBDLink” or ENET adapter

Also, sports plus has prominent rev matching on dowshifts. I reckon launch control will be faster.

Do you get the M sports display when you are in sport mode?

Also, when I did an update about two months ago through the idrive system I lost all my settings and had to code them back in again

I tried the M dash but unfortunately the speedo numbers were too small for me without reading glasses. When my Uniscan arrives I'll also code in Comfort Plus, a few G20 owners have done this and are happy with it. Need to know what that Xtra Boost setting is also

I find Sport+ better than sport mate, I don't exactly know the entire change but the car feels different...sharper/gear changes when you're wringing it's neck are way better.

I did code in comfort plus today but haven't had a chance to use it. I also coded in comfort plus steering for eco pro. I was tempted to code in xtra boost but I held back. Not sure how it will work with the racechip. Also It looks you might have to choose between xtra boost or sportexpert

My new unicarscan scanner arrived so I've coded Sport Plus and Comfort Plus. There a coding which gives you a graphic equaliser and various sound settings but these don't seem to work with the standard sound system, unless I need to code something additional.
I'll do some more research in expert mode when I'm off work and see what other interesting goodies I can find.
