There were other very subtle differences on the display when changing different Drive Modes as well.
This leads me to believe the cluster module (DKOMBI) is "looking" for additional data in order to display the different Driver Modes. Therefore, it is possible that there are other parameters (either in the cluster module or another module) that need to be changed in order for the Drive Mode to display properly in the M display. Of course, if additional parameters are found to turn on Drive Mode in the M display, it could be different than the non-M display. For example, instead of the words for each Drive Mode, the background color of the M display could change based on the different Drive Mode selected. Right now I would be happy with some type of very noticeable display change for the different modes (the navigation triangle I mentioned above is a bit to subtle for me).
So any thoughts from the more experienced G-series coders?

Bimmercode just updated to 2.18.0-6475 on Android, and I've noticed the the head-unit ECU module now supports Expert mode.
I recently coded Sports Plus through the Body Domain Controller (BDC) for my G05, since the 30d/Diesel doesn't come with Sports+ from the factory. After coding the BDC, I found Sports+ could be selected from the buttons on the gear-shift panel, but NOT from the head-unit (center head-display). It still showed Sports+ in the Instrument Cluster though.
Yesterday I coded Sports+ into the head-unit ECU using Expert mode; based on the recent update to Bimemrcode, and now everything lines up-including showing Sports+ on the center head display.
So to cut a long story short, to code Sports+ - I had to code both the BDC and HDU ECUs, so yes it would be safe to assume you need to code multiple ECUs for driving modes.
You shouldn't have to code anything in the Instrument Cluster ECUs though.
