Bimmercode Essentials for G20
Hey guys so I recently coded using Bimmercode on my G30 540xi and was pretty impressed with how it all turned out. (I'll attach pics below) However, with the limited options with the G20, what do you guys recommend? Also, I think that us G20 owners need to contact Bimmercode to ensure that we have some ambient lighting coding coming through because I am very very impressed with the contour ambient lighting on my G30. But yeah, what do you guys think is essential to code on a G20?

What is colour contour ambient lighting?
My favourites are: 1. Being able to code my car to start in sport individual mode. 2. A.S.S off. 3. Coded (added) lane change indicator to 5 blinks from 3. 4. Mirror tilt (in reverse gear) angle to 60% from 100%. What I’d love to code - 1. Auto high beam 2. Gear display even in D (shows which gear the car is in even in D and not just in M/S). 3. A coding that reduces the ummmmm...sensitivity/intensity(?) of steering intervention when using lane keep assistant, thereby making it useful (not many people use it in the G20).

Ah gotcha. That makes sense. I did notice the two different colours but I wasn’t sure that was what you were referring to.
I don’t like A.S.S. because my car turns off before it comes to a complete stop. I hate it because it’s the same in the Audis too (except my A4 which had perfect A.S.S and I left it on in that). Makes it feel jerky especially when you’re coming to a stop at low speeds. And the mirror tilt issue for me was that it tilted way too much at 100%. At 60%, it’s much better but I might code it to 50% to make it better for me.

Add to my Wish List:
• Easy entry. Slides driver's seat back when door opened & slides seat back when turning ignition on. • Driver's seat Heat Adjust. Using iDrive, adjust heat of seat cushion & back I coded the 1st on my F30 & could only code temp changes, but not make it easily adjustable Here's hoping!

-Activate Rear Fog Lights -Have rear turn signals act like they do in Europe -Code the lasers (Anti-Dazzle)

I wish there was a way to make the rear turn signals dynamic, like in the Audi A4. It gives the car a classy look.

European turn signals are amber & have a separate bulb. We don't have that in US because federal rules dictate size of rear lights & to have both (with the LED light strings we have), the tail light won't be wide enough Even if you were to string in an amber LED, you'd have to reassign pins and the like -- a real pain Sorry

When I'm going to be using valet parking, I use Bimmercode to make the car start in Eco Pro mode. Makes them less likely to get aggressive with it.

Further, our turn signals would just blink red after the coding is done. We already have 2 strips of brake lights as is but DOT threw in what would be the turn signal into the mix as well. Drives me crazy! Audis function the same way too and they are super easy to code vs BMW.

You can choose between the original modes the car comes with (you cannot choose sport plus or comfort plus since we code that into the car)
