They are just fans, but they have 3 speeds. Read a thread on another forum where they coded the temps for the fans and it improved performance.

What car is that? G01? I don't think that my 2019 X3 M40i has those little yellow lights. I'll have to look tomorrow. I never noticed them. I presume that they would be illuminated when the car is still (i.e., when I am checking) as well as when the car is in motion.

I coded my door mirror to only dip 70% when reversing but it still dips 100% occasionally. When it does this, if I take it out of reverse and put it back in again, it dips to 70%!

Sorry, missed this earlier...

I'd say the driving experience is 'more appropriate' and more generally much better... Putting the fuse back in temporarily re-enabled ASD before I coded it which was a nice opportunity just to be sure and yea, imo, no question. There's still enough pleasant mechanical noise and exhaust note without ASD.

While the accentuation of exhaust chatter is a bit of fun in Sport mode, the constant groaning and moaning and droning the rest of the time is just stressful and irrelevant noise. Yes, the exhaust note is more subtle always (the X3 seems to be a well-insulated car) but it's definitely still there popping and snorting when you're leaning into Sport mode or firing off manual shifts. It's still a riot (and gets a hoot from my daughters). The biggest difference is how near-dead-quiet the X3 is in those very non-sporty occasions, when just mushing along on a freeway journey or idling around in traffic doing errands.

As Gugin observed, audio is subjectively clearer as well... Surely has to do with the speakers being fully dedicated to producing music rather than also pretending to be an engine.

Thank you very much for that detailed explaination...it was really kind of you.

I think I will give it a go with coding using Bimmercode...feel more comfortable doing that than pulling fuses.

Thanks again much appreciated

Guys just trying my luck, maybe someone found out anything about this option in our x3.
is not there anymore, hate that welcome start up animation with base model pulling in

GoodGuyAvi · 08-21-2019, 06:11 PM

So guys im good with the russian language. I found in russian web how to change grey colors in sport\sport plus mode to red.

MPA_MSP_VIEW_ENABLE — orange
MPA_MSP_VIEW_ENABLE — grau_weiss (grey)

Also there is so many crazy coding in that website, ill post more stuff later.

GoodGuyAvi · 08-21-2019, 08:03 PM

Ok guys is working !!! Hahaha now every one can change that !!
(Also added red ambient light)

What are the best coding options to stop the book/trunk opening when the key is accidentally pressed?

I have an ENET cable and ethernet to lightning adapter so I have none of the limitations that are present with the older WiFi adapters.

Depends on what circumstances is the boot opening. If by pressing the button, that could be coded. Either by dealer, if he's willing to (to code boot open only when doors are unlocked), or by adjusting the time when pushing the button on the keyfob (try to search for solution, it's here somewhere). If other reason, than you might have a faulty sensor or something else.

After watching my trunk open while sitting having dinner I went and coded some settings. Haven't had any accidental openings since so one or some of these might be enough:

A) Increase the long-press delay time on the fob (from lo_cheng's post some number of pages back in this thread).

Tailgate open delay using remote control:
1) Goto BDC (Body Domain Control), then go into Expert mode.
2) Goto "30D0 RemoteControlMaster"
3) Goto "RCM_Time_Delay_Bootlid"
4) Change the Wert_01 value from 05 (Default) to 20 (will be about 4 seconds) - try larger/longer values if you really want to be sure your pocket doesn't open the trunk. lo_cheng used 30 (~5s)...

Tweak a few more settings in the Tailgate computer to make it easier to close an open tailgate:
B) Tailgate close with press on fob - to close the tailgate from the fob if it does open accidentally.
C) Tailgate close via door button without hold - accidentally opened the trunk thinking I had a window button... panicked because I apparently couldn't close it again from the door switch.

D) If all that doesn't solve the issue, then the dealer can recode the Fob itself to only allow opening the boot when the doors are unlocked... It's like two-factor authentication for your trunk

HTH.

An excellent car made more perfect through coding. All the little annoyances and odd defaults accounted for, thank you Bimmercode. Full round up now:

Active Sound Design off
Seatbelt warning off > advanced crash

BDC
Driving mode default Adaptive > bdc
Brake force display more sensitive/lower force (nope, was .5 already) > bdc
Mirror automatic tilt now 60%, was 100% > bdc
Convenient closing from fob on > bdc
Window lift not interrupted > bdc
Tailgate open on fob longer long press > bdc > *expert*

ECU
ASS last set memory > ecu

HEADUNIT
Display start animation (M? nah...) > headunit
Volume popup off > headunit
Warnings disabled

> headunit

ROOF
Acoustic lock tone and volume low, short > roof

TAILGATE
Tailgate close on fob > tailgate
Tailgate close door button without hold > tailgate

Super curious if there's code buried somewhere that defines the ranges of damping the Adaptive Suspension uses for each Drive mode...

That's awesome man!!! Can you share how?

You need to make comfort dials white now.. so it's not the same as Sport.

How did you get that screen "Show Drivers Profiles at Start-up"? Did you recode something? Thanks.

Jets · 08-22-2019, 07:54 PM

I have been reading the tips in this thread. It was recommended to export the driver profiles before coding because they are sometimes erased after coding.
I saw someone say that they export "online" rather than USB. I only have USB as an option is this something I can do via the app or is it not available on USA models?
Thanks for any tips...

So you didnt' code the red dials on the X3? If you did, what did you change exactly?

See his post. He did. I did too. It looks much better, than grey.
