Be careful in expert mode, the same software runs on lots of BMW's vehicles and changing a setting in German could add or remove a feature / option in the vehicle. It's easy to make a mistake.
Right and it’s that last part that is the reason for my question! I have to imagine if it’s all listed in Bimmercode then someone must know what changes each. I’m surprised Bimmercode doesn’t at least have a page, or a thread here, that indicates what each of those variables does.
No that's actually Bimmercode reading from the ECU. It's not one option per feature either, several functions are groups and vary based on options and what devices are present. There are several threads on this site that outline what people have discovered, but there isn't a straight forward list for each and every option.

The features that Bimmercode offers in basic mode are ones that the developer has tested and vetted safe / reversible for all users.
