Anyone knows if it is possible to code it on a 520i?

I’ve searched everywhere but there’s no concrete method like the G20 Coding

tried emailing bimmercode? I have a 2021 530i and I think you can code the different modes on startup. not sure if thats what you want or you want to activate the sports plus.

Might be somplyfying things but I thought sport plus was just the sport mode ( everything set to sport) plus the dsc mode set to DTC?

Sport+ mode adds:
Engine: Sport+
Transmission: Sport+

It has nothing to do on DSC/DTC/Tracking etc. etc.

Selecting Sport Plus leaves all your traction control settings same on G30

I really don't understand why everyone is commenting on DTC but that's absolutely not the case on G30

What happens when you switch from comfort to Sport happens again when you switch from Sport to Sport+ (only steering wheel hardness not affected). More responsive engine and much fast/rough gear changes basically. Additionally car doesn't change gears when redlined on manual mode.

Is it safe to say we cannot code Sport Plus on G30s? I have a 19 530ix M sport and use bimmercode for all coding. Everything works but Sports Plus is not an option unless its in expert mode. I only have Sport mode which shows as S and changes gears on its own. I can switch it to M mode which I have to manually update the gears using the paddles on the steering wheel.

As I said before it is possible with Expert mode on bimmercode

You have to code related parameters on BDC, HU_NBT/MGU, and DKOMBI (this last one I'm not 100% sure). Begin with BDC and HU and if you can not see the SportPlus writing on cluster check DKOMBI for additional parameters

Great news I was able to code sport plus in expert mode. I couldn’t locate the modules given above in BDC. However I followed this link and works perfectly.


Thanks guys for the reassurance!

They are not modules under BDC. They are seperate ECUs like BDC. Since the guy in the video coded only BDC, SportPlus doesn't show up on the iDrive screen. That's why you also have to code the Head Unit (iDrive ECU) for that

Thanks bro! Mines doesn’t show up on I drive either but it does on the dash. I will try to locate those in head unit export mode as well so it appear in iDrive. e

It worked!! I just had to update FESPORT ito aktiv in expert mode of HU.
Now if I can get BimmerCode to recognize that I have plus so I can set it to default to that mode on startup I would be golden!

BimmerCode doesn't recognize it. So SportPlus won't be on the list of default startup mode. Again you can code it in expert mode (in BDC) manually (under FES Default something parameter you have to code werte value manually, this time there won't be a SportExpert label on it and I don't remember right now which value was that). I've coded ComfortPlus mode as the default startup mode with the same fashion

I was able to program it on my 530e.
It shows up in the dash and on the iDrive system.

However after a week of testing I don’t notice any difference between the option sport or sport +. So I removed it again.

Maybe there is on a normal 530.

Sport plus I think resists going into 8th gear which might be an easy way to spot if it really is doing what sport plus stands for
Ie if you put car in 8th gear it will change down to 7 ie on a motorway

Tested is thoroughly and no difference in any way on the 530e. Could be due to the hybrid technology.
