Surprised none of the modes show that on the standard dashboard.
This is from an M8. I wonder if that’s hidden in the coding somewhere?!

M3 definitely has this too (see the dash view in the corner) of the attached image.

I have the m track module and coded to show the m track display - but it doesn’t have this and spent an hour looking today and couldn’t see anything obvious to enable it either.

I wonder if we’d need someone with an actual M3 to share their coding in DKOMBI? Surely if the M3 has it we should be able to code it.

As an aside, I’ve also temporarily uninstalled the track module. I keep having battery issues, I think maybe the module is failing to shut down properly and still drawing perhaps. So I’ve removed and going to see if the issue persists even with it removed.

You can´t code that because this information comes from the transmission.
You can get xHP and have the gears displayed in D.

I’m going to have to research xHP now. Thank you.

I’ve had a transmission remap and an engine remap applied already, but custom one by a third party.

I’m considering buying something that will let me tweak the remap myself, and will consider this for the transmission

Edit: couldn’t find out how before and now I see it.

If I get xHP for the transmission, any recommendations for the engine and exhaust remapping?

MHD, MG Flasher or bm3 are the way to go.
You can use OTS (Of the shelf) maps or get a custom map for your car.
The custom map will be developed with you, either on the street or on a dyno.
There should be some options in the UK that use on of these three Apps.

Hi everyone

I've installed m-track module, everything works fine expect that I don't see gears info when gearbox is in sport mode. I assume that it's because M cards don't have sport mode so nor car nor the module don't know what to show there.

I wonder if anyone tackled this issue with some coding?

It's annoying to look at but sport setting is fun, especially with xHP.

Just watch out for battery issues. I had to remove my module as I think it was drawing power when it shouldn’t and I kept getting the battery warning.

Also, you are correct with your assumption about sport mode. I never could get it to show on the track layout or the normal one.

I know this is how the display works in the M cars but it did not work for me in this car to give me the functionality I wanted.

You can tell you are in Sport+ when the RPMs shoot up on cruising as you toggle the button... it's a pain but the shift lights are worth it for me

Mode thing isn't really a deal breaker to me since it shows what you switch to on central screen, it switches instantly so THIS isn't a problem at all for me.

And tbf my issue is probably the biggest one since xHP tune in gearbox sport mode is the most aggressive setting so you would use it a lot and the empty space is just annoying to look at

But hey, focus on the road hahaha

Hi guys
I bought the m track of AliExpress for a bargain (79$ incl. shipping).
It came with installation and coding instructions.

The installation was very easy but I struggle with the coding as the instructions is not very clear.

I uploaded the instructions under this link:

https://pdfhost.io/v/BkhDGI1Id_M_Track_compressed

Can anyone explain me the steps after the calculation step?

Hey Mate
I bought the same M track module and could not understand the coding instructions. So i asked them to code it remotely and they did. It was just easier than trying to decipher those instructions.

M track display - Cruise control lights on/off coding

hey guys,
I just installed the M track module and have it working on sport mode, but the instrument cluster doesn't show any indication (like the green light) when cruise is turned on and set.

Does anyone know if this can be coded on Esys ? I'm sure it'll be just enabling the cruise control lights to come on in M track mode in Dkombi or headunit. Any help is appreciated.

I have bimmercode so i'm gna try and dig around a bit to see if I can find anything but if i can't, would love to have some help figuring it out. Thanks

Is this the same module you purchased?

M Track Module

Also, what happens if you install the module and don't code it in? Is anything precoded on it? How much of it can be coded with bimmercode? I already have the 200 mph m cluster with shiftlights but I don't have the special M sport view with the cockpit like revlimiter. Also, can it be coded via bimmercode? If so, could anyone provide instructions on bimmercode?


Side Note
Are these instructions applicable to a G20 as well?

Originally I bought mine through the following Vendor who supplied software links (Base Esys install etc) and did a remote session to code in the module.
This is not a Bimmercode mod
I've previously drawn up a schematic and posted earlier in this thread for those who preferred a schematic over a video
The Ali Express module looks the same but unless you are used to using Esys and have the code the remote coding is a better option

I got the same one:
https://www.yaodechain.com/product-p...rument-cluster

Worked out great. Coding took 30-45 minutes to get everything setup. He remoted into my computer and knocked it out.

So I bought the M track module and had the same guy as linked in the first post code it. Mine however does not have the yellow to red limiter on the dial. I contacted the programmer and he said that's not possible but he also said that about changing the M3 logo to an M logo. I was able to change the logo with Bimmercode but not the rev limiter. I previously had it coded with the 200mph and the yellow and red limiter but after he coded it, it disappeared. I tried the DZM_variante and tried all the options but none worked. Anyone have any recommendations?

Yaode? He coded mine. I can’t remember if he put the red and yellow on the rev limiter or I coded it with bimmercode but it was definitely possible. It wasn’t quite the correct RPM, but looked close enough.

I can’t remember the code I would have used, but it’ll be on the bimmercode thread I’m sure.
