Is Sport Plus the same as Sport Individual with all the boxes checked?
The manual is of little help here. If I configure Sport Individual and check all the boxes of offering, is this essentially Sport Plus? If not, which is more aggressive?
Thanks. |

Yes, I believe so. Individual allows you to soften some of the settings.
Same with the Intelligent Safety settings. By default they are all turned on. You can go into Individual and turn them down or off.

It is essentially sport plus. I use sport individual with everything on sport plus except the suspension because I am in New York, and it is uncomfortable.

That said, I am not sure I am going to override Comfort as the default. There is not way I want to drive around in Sp+ all the time, so I would be doing the opposite of what I do now which is click Sport+ every now and then. We'll see though. |

Defaulting to Adaptive is a compromise.

The hardware tuning options are a virtual zoo of opinions, so that is a different area to research.

AppleCarplay Full Screen - $50, someone sends you a file to upload via USB or you need to plug a laptop in for newer car software and the same person will write you an executable to run. I did the latter, piece of cake. BimmerCode - does 80-90% of what people want to tweak in Normal Mode. Can do another 5% more in expert mode which is risky. Hiring a Remote Coder - can do everything above to 100%, including the stuff you can't do in expert mode such as anti-dazzle headlights and Variable Light Distribution. I believe most people use BimmerCode and compliment it with a coding session. My session is this Sunday for the main purpose of doing the lights. I have other things that I was going to tweak with BimmerCode but I may as well have him do it. Read up here, that's what I did, it has all been covered. |

I am going to do Dinan S1. I know it's pricey, but it does not impact the warranty. Are you happy with it? I'll PM you so this isn't taken off-line and end up open for debate.

I'm strongly leaning towards this.
