No idea. Bimmercode supports OBDLink CX as well (I remember seeing it in the update notes in google play). I think you can use any OBDLink adapter to code all modules. So yes. I'd get the cheapest one and save the rest for something else

PS - If your phone supports wired connections, I'd recommend getting an enet cable and phone adapter for it. Much faster than any wireless connection.
Is it possible one provides more options for coding Or is faster? Like can you still code a sport + without the more expensive OBD?

I believe you can.

The difference between the LX and MX+ was added support for cars from GM and Ford IIRC. It didn't affect our BMWs (both worked via bluetooth and speed is the same). Our cars also support the OBDLink CX. So it shouldn't be an issue. But you can mail Stephan and ask him, to double check.

Edit - Just checked the OBDLink website. The CX is made specifically for Bimmercode and can access all modules. Get that one

just finished coding sport + on my samsung phone using MHD wifi adapter

went smoothly and similar to the other guy you get a parking light malfunction but just turn the car on and off and you're good

throttle is more touchy in sport plus but i dont notice any difference in transmission shift speed

definitely a lot more pops like double the amount of pop length and a bit louder too

costed $150 in total but worth it i guess

Good morning,

I have found this forum to be very informative but I have a question on coding Sport+ with bimmercode. I drive a G20 330i and already have Sport+ as default (Sport -> Sport+ -> Sport Individual).

Is the option that bimmercode offers different from the default settings?

Yesterday I tried to use Bimmercode to change my Instrument Cluster to M performance style. I found HUD content also changed especially when I turn ACC on, I can see a car icon, distance and also the speed limit that I set.
However, I want to change instrument cluster back to normal because I lost a lot of info (such as drive mode) on that.
I love the HUD info it showed in M performance style. Is there any way to enable that HUD info in normal style mode?

Pretty sure this is a default setting not a coding thing. You current HUD shows a map right?
Go to your car setting on idrive -> Displays -> Instrument cluster and you can change from map to that mode.

Just coded sport + with the help of all of you - Thank you!

I mainly feel the trans logic change but don't feel much of anything else. Without a doubt, I did it correctly as I can see the changes on my cluster and center screen + launch control.

Thank you for answering this.
I did found the problem which caused by showing sports mode (Tachometer) on HUD. When I turn it off, the ACC info shows!

However, I'm just curious if any possibility to code it for showing both in the same time.

M135i.
Sport Plus, makes my car more alive and the exhaust on start up is noticeably more rumble and pop.
Have enabled a setting which has sport sound come up in the menu with I think it says balanced and auto or something like that.
The M Menu is nice but nothing can be enabled. Either it only applies to M cars which will have the hardware necessary or have just not enabled the correct codes. It would be extremely time consuming with so many variables let alone having to translate every one to see��
Will send pictures if anyone’s interested

Does the little triangle above the sports plus mean something is not correct?
Thanks

This indicates that there is a Check Control warning message present.

I got that when it said the parking lights in my car were not working. But turning it off and in again got rid of it.
If it persists, check your notifications on the idrive. There will be a check control message there. Or if there isn't any notification, check vehicle status in settings and see if you can find out why that exclamation mark is present.

Naa. It's usually an error thrown up due to coding which goes away when you turn the car off and back on again

Someone on here contributed to the expert mode cheat sheet thread and changed FesSportWorldMode2 to SportExpert in addition to FesSportWorldMode1. He didn't know the difference between the two. Has anyone changed Mode2 in addition to Mode1 too? What does changing that one do?

Does anyone know if activating sport + can void the warranty if the dealer catches it?

Nah, I think you're good there. My car was just in for service with startup mode defaulted to Sport+ and they said nothing. However, they did warn me that a tune was detected (BM3). Forgot to flash to stock. Oh well!

Damn. Did they say that you were flagged?

Nah, I lucked out. The tech is supposed to run a test plan if that message comes up to determine if the car is actually tuned, but he's my boy and he didn't run it.

The message said:
The fault code "S 0777: Suspicion of engine tuning" was detected.

Nice that you're tight with the SA. That's exactly why I asked if you were flagged. Because they have to run some tests to flag your car

I hate that BMW is making it so hard. I moved from Audi for this reason. But looks like
BMW is becoming worse. If so, I guess I'll go back to Audi once this lease is up
