I coded sport+ and I don't see any difference. I was surprised that it didn't even turn off traction control and ESP. Is it normal? It was like that in the F30... I have a 2019 G20 320d xDrive.

Sports plus is standard in my m340i. What you would notice is that the car holds revs MUCH higher. And it downshifts really early as you brake or slow down. It really is a beast mode of sorts.

probably because you have a 320d lol

On a 330 it's a big difference

Do you have to have your ecu unlocked to code sport plus? My car is under warranty so I’m not trying to void my warranty.

Depends on iDrive software, newer it is the more likely it is for ECU to be locked

You do not need to have it unlocked to code this in.

I have a G20 320e, the car had an update this month, and now lost sportplus and I can't activate it using bimmercode app and obdlink CX.

Is there anything I can do?

Can Sport+ suspension be coded in Sport Individual?

I have an M340i so always had Sport+.

My question- in Sport Individual for Dampener there is only SPORT and COMFORT, is there a Sport+ suspension setting (so is the suspension stiffer in Sport+, compared to Sport) and can that be coded so you can select it in Sport Individual?

I have tried a bunch of expert coding but none added Sport + in the dampener for Sport Individual

Im about to do this aswell based on a few threads recently. I thought the comfort+ and sport+ dampers were reserved for alpina models(same damper hardware as m340) and coding unlocks it for the m340.

Or else why would they not include sport+ damping it in sport individual mode if its already activated. Im not entirely sure though.

You will find this option in Headunit expert settings. Sport+ is a 2 step setting, one in BDC (that you did) and second for idrive through Head unit control expert mode.

Omg ! Thank you so much. Sport+
Is sick! Just tested it out. Way louder. Just whipped it end of street in back but seems different than normal sport for sure.
So far so good.
Pretty new to all this. What happens if i break something all this coding can be erased right?
A little worried bout warranty

All you have to do to enable Sport+ on your G20 is to follow the steps below:

Necessary Tools:
- Bimmercode App (Full Version for 26.99)
- OBDLink MX+

*It is possible that these instructions may not be available to code on the public version of Bimmercode, so you may have to request the TestFlight beta version for this to be available to code.

1. Connect to the vehicle. Make sure your vehicle is in diagnostic mode by pressing start engine stop button 3 times in rapid succession.

2. Go into Body Domain Controller, the loading time is about 5 minutes or so, it takes awhile.

3. Go into Expert Mode (Button on the bottom left).

4. Search for “Sport”. Look for 3221 PfFesMaster.

5. Change FesSportWorldMode1 to SportExpert (Default should be SportDynamic).

6. Press code, after it finishes, you can cycle through with Sport button and get Sport Plus!

Also, if you look into “3221PfFesMaster” you can also get Comfort Plus!

Below is a video of the result of the coding as well as BM3 Stage 1 & Muffler Delete:

I have a 2022 G05 X5 xD4ive40i, bimmercode and an OBD link MX+. I have all the advanced options, chose SportExpert_Motorstart, as this is supposed to make it start in Sport+. No luck, it still starts in Sport like is set in standard options.

So for all the 330e owners out there struggling with stop-start, coding SPORT+ only in HU_MGU enables setting the engine to SPORT+ in sport individual. Soo finally suspension, geabox in comfort and the engine in sport+. Here is the only line for quick reference:
in HU_MGU set FES_SPORT_EXPERT: 1
