What is Comfort Plus? It's my understanding that Comport employs all of the most comfortable settings. Never heard of comfort plus, but what is it supposed to do?

The suspension on the Alpina should be completely different. Comfort plus is not a tweaking of factory settings on the G30 as far as I know. I think this is one of the main points of the Alpina, no?

Was trying to get more information from this member at this thread
https://g30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1819476

Looks like it will alter braking and shifting but never replied back in regards to what it does with cars with DHP w/ EDC. If this makes the car cloud like over bumps and eliminates the last downshift as you come to a complete stop- it may be the ultimate comfort setting. I just went to make sure it doesn't cause my EDC to shit itself.

I not sure if it alters braking on the g30 platform model...but my f06 (650ix GC) has COMFORT+ mode...which was one of the selections on the driving experience switch if the car was optioned with DDC/EDC (dynamic driving control/electronic damping control):
The following systems are influenced by Dynamic Driving Control:
  • Accelerator pedal module
  • Automatic transmission
  • Steering
  • Vertical dynamics management (VDM) via shock absorbers as well as active roll stabilisation
  • Dynamic Stability Control

Comfort+ falls between ECO-Pro and Comfort mode... so basically similar to Sport & Sport+ on the other end of the switch...just an enhancement of the mode without the "+". Since the dampers on the cars that have Comfort+ are adaptive...its just a softer damping setting.

If your BMW doesn't have an adaptive suspension...I'm not sure what you really get from coding this setting to appear.

So, too summarize: The G30 does not have a Comfort Plus mode, so cannot be programmed to turn one on. Other models and makes might, but not the G30.

You must have missed it. Comfort+ coded on a G30.

I am not so sure anymore this is correct, if Q is right, cars with Adaptive suspension can run C+. Pretty sure all M550's have adaptive suspension.

Yes, the ride is softer on bad roads. The body roll is noticably bigger when turning. Otherwise no noticable difference. I am running on 19" run flats.

I'm assuming as per the video for the 7 series above that on the G30 the comfort plus would be accessed by a double push of the comfort button.

Going to try code this as I have VDC and will report back.

Anyone know do I really need a battery charger connected for this type of coding or am I taking a risk not having one attached?

I've never bothered with a battery charger. But I do put the car on a battery tender if I haven't driven it in more than 5 days. So I am confident my battery is always topped up

I'm driving every day so I guess a 30 min drive just before coding should be ok.
