Has anyone managed to turn off/code out the damn "Auto Start/Stop" feature that has no place on a performance car to begin with??

[JustinHEMI]

It can be permanently disabled in your settings. Why code it out?

Thanks gents! I only picked up the car last night so I haven't been right into the details of the settings yet - you had to code it out on my ID7 G42 so assumed ID8 in the G87 was the same. But this even better! Great stuff.

Just go to setup (button on console) and scroll down to ASS and turn it off.

Coding not needed

ASS is an appropriate abbreviation for this feature.. thanks mate!

Just remember that the ASS LED on the button has to be on for ASS to be off!

Can ASS be linked to the M buttons?

Same here. I wouldn’t even know the car had it. Hasn’t once activated. Whenever I notice the button it’s always illuminated, meaning it’s deactivated.

Bimmercode has come in very handy with my dog and the deactivated seatbelt chime.

So far also done via G20/G80 profile:

Ambient lighting to Blue
Decreased Mirror dip to 60%
iDrive 8 start-up warning deactivated
Seatbelt warnings turned off
Bower & Wilkins sound profile
Video enabled
Turn Signal to 5.

Does anyone know if you change the Drive Mode on start up to Sport will it change ours to start in Sport instead of Road?

Bummer, thanks. Not a big deal the press of a button but I have found no use for the Road mode. I prefer the Tach on the HUD and auto deactivation of the Lane Assist.

I haven’t figured out how to turn it off in my profile like in the i4.

Happy Canada Day btw!

Thanks, hope you’re gearing up for the 4th!

Just pulled into Cape Cod.

The M2 sure makes the old E46 feel downright geriatric. Not in a bad way but they don’t even feel related. Still love the Hydraulic steering on it though.

I did just see my first M240 in the flesh, pulled in right next to me. I didn’t have the heart to tell him what I just got.

Do both wheel options normally show up as bi-color? I have black but they display as bi.

Is there a way to change it to black? Not a big deal just curious as they went so far with certain details but skipped out on the wheels?

I went that route with my wife, it’s worked out well for all of us.

any updates on idrive 8 compatibility? google gave me nothing so i'm assuming not

[JustinHEMI]

Nothing new.

Any way to get exhaust valves open in all modes?

I would think it would be possible to hook up a manual switch?

[GregW / Oregon]

I've coded "One-Touch Turn Signal Five Flashes" and it says "Active" but does not work. Others have it working?

No, mine still only blinks 3 times after trying to code this.

Has anyone been able to get the default M-Mode to start in "Sport" instead of "Road" with Bimmercode?

You now have to go into the idrive menu and select it. You'll now see an option for 5 flashes.

Thanks! Just confirmed this. Specifically go to apps menu -> exterior lighting and the one touch option will be there to go from 3 to 5 blinks after coding it. I couldn’t find the option messing around in idrive and had to google it.
