Changing Live cockpit font on G20 330i?

Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to code the 330i cockpit to have the more aggressive font of the M340i cockpit? I searched previous threads but couldn’t find an answer. I previously had the M layout for a while but I would like something closer to the look of an m340i.

I’ve looked through many of these threads and even made some changes such as adding sports plus and the M logo, but none of the threads refer to the font of the text found in the M340i. If you notice, the speedo, drive mode etc... are all in a less aggressive Arial font for the 330i, but not for the M340i. Surely there is a code somewhere to change this.

I think you didn't read my link at all.

Those thread are talking about it. If you dont want to read, I dont mind.

Attached 340i cluster is also coded. Deafult are same as 330i.

340i and 330i has same DKOMBI modules and hardware, it isn't different at all.

or you want M340i LOGO? then LOGO_SCHRIFTZUG => 08

Hi - did anyone ever find the answer on how to change the font?

I’ve checked the 4 links but it’s a bit unclear. Is it just a case of in KOMBI4 unit searching for AG_MPA_MSP_VIEW parameter and changing to "mpa_ansicht_330_skala", or something else?

Some other sites reference a coding change to enable M Performance Instrument Cluster Theme, is that the same thing we’re trying to do?

Those are the correct ones. the msp Skala settings will change to the nicer font. you can choose the regular 260 or 330.

Is your 330 a M Sport?

MY 2020 330i M Sport cockpit looks just like the M340ix when it is in Sport, Sport Plus, or Sport Individual driving modes. It also has the "M" badge where the M340i is at the top of the cluster. Which since the last software update I am not able to code the "M" badge on the cockpit. Just weird. The attached photo is what mine looks like just not in km/h.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Tried the M cluster but didn't like that it didn't show the mode. This is the best of both worlds. Nice work!!
