BimmerCode and Sport+
Hi folks,
I have a 2015 535i xDrive w/Luxury Package. I'm trying to enable the Sport+ features using Bimmercode. I can enable Sport Automatic in the Transmission Control Module and the Sport+ option in the Instrument Cluster Module without any error. When I try to enable the Sport+ Mode in the Integrated Chassis Module the car throws many errors that I cannot clear with BimmerCode or BimmerLink. Does this mean my car isn't compatible? I wouldn't expect to see it in the options in BimmerCode (I'm not using Expert Mode) if my car was compatible. Thanks for the help. I've asked the BimmerCode App folks as well. Waiting to hear but thought someone here might know already. Luke |

I can't answer about coding it, but you can have a close functional equivalent of Sport+ by turning on DTC (press the DSC button once to turn on Traction Control), and putting the shift lever to the left into M/S mode.
Sport+ gives higher shift points (like M/S mode), Traction Control instead of DSC (the DSC button), the only thing the above doesn't give you is the quicker throttle response of Sport/Sport+ mode.

The BimmerCode folks have told me to hold off as this is happening to some vehicles and they are working on figuring out why.

I recently coded 2015 530d with bimmercode and activated sport automatic in TCM. This enabled sport+ which it can be chosen from the button near the shifter and is seen on the instrument cluster. No other codings were needed.

I recently got Bimmer code and using the non-expert mode I enabled SAT on my 2015 luxury line 535iX. When i change the gear shift to sports, I dont see much difference in driving than what I already had with sports. Additionally there is no Sports+ option - only Eco Pro, Comfort and Sports from the rocker switch. No errors though. Should I see Sports+ ?
I don't usually drive in sports so its no biggie but curious if coding Sports Automatic Transmission even did anything to the car.... |

While coding with the simple interface there was no option for 215 or 2TB. Edit: I forgot to add, when I change the shifter to Sports, I do see S1, S2 etc in the dash, just no Sports+ via the rocker switch. Since I don't drive much in sports mode anyway, I don't remember if S1, S2 etc was displayed before coding or not. Last edited by starlights; 12-19-2018 at 10:12 PM.. |

Did you have to use the expert mode of Bimmercode or this was done via the simple mode?

My 2013 535i M-Sport originally came with:
-SPORT -COMFORT -ECO PRO I had someone code it for SPORT+ and now I see: -SPORT+ -SPORT -COMFORT -ECO PRO Later on I discovered the BIMMERCODE app and used to aktiv(ate) SPORT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (SAT). Before coding SAT, my cluster would show DS when the car was in either SPORT or SPORT+ mode. After coding SAT, my cluster shows S1, S2, all the way up to S7. It never shows S8 even though I have ZF 8-speed transmission. Now I wonder if I had discovered BIMMERCODE earlier and used it to enable SAT, then would that have caused SPORT+ mode to also appear without having to do any separate coding. Funny thing is that I don't even use SPORT+ anymore because I can't tell the difference between that and the regular SPORT mode. |

Not excited about CARLY going to a yearly fee....
I am about to attempt to add the Sport+ options (1 & 2) and the SAT. Is anyone having issues to a 2013 F10 (build date 7/'12)....Or heck, anyone with positive comments?
