I also miss the 'theatre' of the front and back LEDs coming on when you unlocked the car whilst the light switch was on auto... |

I am a biog fan of running lights, but get hacked off when people think this means they don't need lights on. Yes you have pretty LEDs at the front. But you have nothing on the back.....

The UK 2012 models do not have DRL at rear enabled.
You can do this via coding by changing the DRL_MODUS Function under FRM 3050 section. I believe the default value is TFL_S_ohne_SL (werte=7) and this needs to be changed to TFL_S (werte=4). The above description is for Xenons only; for the 2012 UK F10 models.

thanks, I'm in the processof asking my local dealer if they can do this as I don't want to invalidate my warranty. Asked for thsi and auto stop start to be set to rember last setting. Waiting for them to get back , showed them vrious threads from here and said it was possible although unoffical. He said whenever a car is hooked up to their systems it downloads all of the settings up to BMW so they are aware of any 'differences'
is suspect that their software masks out various settings and only shows what BMW want people / dealers to be able to change. Why did BMW change this out of curiosity - any ideas? |

I doubt your dealer will do this. Here is a written response my dealer got from BMW UK (in relation to the Auto Stop feature).
Quote:
I can confirm that the DRL rear lights modification works, I have just done it to a car (30 minutes back & tested). Regarding dealer knowing about modifications; they only know about it if you generate any error codes. So far, FRM module programming does not generate any error codes - so should not be an issue. Reprogramming the "Kombi" module (for HUD mods) does generate an error code; and there is a possibility that the dealer may notice this - although unlikely. There is no known method of erasing these error codes (for now); hence I have put off making any modifications that require Kombi module - the rest I'm quite happy to play around... However, the DRL change is fairly safe.

thanks well have to pop in to my dealer on tuesday to get my tracking sorted (its tracks to the left) so no harm in asking. Sure they could do the DRL if not the auto stop start.

Digressing a little.... I would also be interested in how the dealer solves your 'track to left' problem - please write back whether they did a software fix or did they fix it via wheel alignment/ tracking. The forums are full of track left issues and the answer seems to a service update that fixes the electric steering. I think mine too has a track to left issue, but am not too sure - have only driven 150 miles, mainly on slow roads; so am not too sure whether it's a steering issue, wheel alignment or simply a tyre pressure issue.

will do , I've checked the pressures (first thing I did) .
if you take your hands off the wheel , it always veers off to the left, not dangerously, but a nuisance and surely causing tyre wear. Expect camber to have that effect but its more noticeable on motorways. My E39 never did this so I don't expect my F10 to do that either. It only 3weeks old now so I'd liek to think it has the latest software so my guess is that the tracking is out a bit. Assumed this would be checked during the PDI, guess not. |

However, the car's firmware should be latest (as it is a different thing from the SatNav unit). Regarding checking tracking/ alignment during PDI - I do not think the dealers do any check for this… do post in your results.

F10 models of 2010 and 2011 had rear lights enabled with DRL.
F10 models of 2012 have rear lights disabled with DRL. The parameter to change is in the Function DRL_MODUS via coding.
