Top 10 Codings for M4 Coupe or Convertible

What are your top coding changes for your M4 Coupe or Convertible? I couldn't find a list of what's available for tweaking, so i thought i'd see what people are doing the most commonly.

I expect to take delivery of my M4 Convertible next week and want to code it as soon as possible.

Thanks.

Which setting do you have your headlight sensitivity set to? Mine come on way too early but I'm confused which way to go on the adjustment.

When we have "official" Top 10, maybe we can add all the coding for those.

When I do coding these are most popular (kinda in order of popularity)

1. Folding mirrors on lock w/ window rollup also
2. DVD In Motion
3. Legal Disclaimers off
4. Seatbelt chimes off
5. Euro brake lights
6. M boot logo (on non-M cars, but usually MSport cars)
7. Seatbelt chimes off, although I recommend people leave them on, but I shut off the initial 3 warning gongs.

That's what I can think of off the top of my head as far as popular options.

Is it possible to stop the passenger mirror dipping so low when reversing?
I currently dip the thing manually.

Just set the mirror switch in the 'right' position, it will avoid your side mirror from dipping.
Not sure if its possible to change how much the mirror dips

The dip amount can be coded..here is the code... you will have to search the FEMBODY module..i dont remember where its at in there.

Can you expand on #6 from your list? I don't know what exactly the coding does for this.

Also - I know there was some discussion on a BMW software update that impacted the ability to code the cars to have non-US features. Any coders have experience with a car that was updated with a BMW flash? I'm taking delivery stateside sometime in August and my vehicle will likely have any updated software that is being flashed onto customers cars when they are in for service - will I be unable to have features coded? (Such as Euro MDM, anti-dazzle lights, chimes off, windows via CA, and just a few others)

Thanks for the input coders!

Its the start-up video or animation that comes up sometimes when you get in the car.

Its standard on M cars, on non-M it says ConnectedDrive with some flowing line animation.

The boot logo only comes up at times when you unlock and get right into the car, I THINK what happens is as soon as you unlock the car the headunit starts booting in the background, so the sooner you get in after unlocking, the more likely you are to see a boot up screen, where as if you unlock from say your front door walk to your car and then get in it should go right to the main screen. Maybe someone else can confirm but this is my theory.

As for the updated software issue, I had mine updated last week and I have no issues. I don't want to speculate further on this but I think in some cases you can just inject an old CAFD that isn't trimmed.

I knew someone would suggest this and i do know about the switch over.
My point is that when enabled via the mirror switch, E9x dipped just enough. However, for me the new car dips much too far.
But thanks.

Wow that's cool, gonna have to give it a try. . . I liked the dip feature in my 650, but I think it dips slightly too low on the m3.

I just show this to the person who coded my car and he did it, I wouldn't know, send a private message to shawnsheridan he it's the best person to ask. Very helpful
