You need to use "Expert Mode" in the Body Domain Controller (BDC) and Head Unit (HU) modules in the car to change a few parameters in each to get Sport+ working. I am not sure if the Bimmercode developer will ever add these features to the non-Expert mode of Bimmercode though.....

DHP tech also isn't very new. The only thing that's new is with the X5/X6, the change from hydraulic ARS to electric ARS, which should prove to be more reliable. Bigger brakes, M Sport diff, rear wheel steering, and the Active Comfort Drive w/ Road Preview fanciness have been around for some time now. I'm not trying to force you to like it, just clarifying a bit here. I agree it does make alignments a bit more complicated, and it most certainly isn't a cheap option. |

Considering these cars are drive-by-wire and don't use a throttle body to control engine response, the gas pedal no longer controls how much throttle you're giving the engine. It's a means for the driver to tell the car how much he or she wants to accelerate. This being the case, what happens to the gas pedal/engine when you switch driving modes is the car increases its sensitivity to what it does in relation to how much you're pressing the pedal. In Sport and Sport+ modes, it just ramps up how aggressively the engine responds to your inputs earlier in the pedal travel. There's little to no magic beyond that. Like you said, you don't get more power outright, you just get power sooner. What you're explaining is effectively what's happening and what I'm saying, but it's not a matter of changing throttle mapping and changing boost control. Boost control is affected by the change in throttle mapping. By making the engine more sensitive to your inputs, it's more likely to build boost earlier, not because of any boost controlling, but because the pedal's sensitivity is higher. Quote:

Hi guys! I am new to the forum. I currently own a 2019 X7 xDrive 50i with the M Sport Package. I am not seeing Sport Plus in my available driving modes although it states its available in the manual. My buddy has a 2019 X5 xDrive 50i base and he has Sport Plus. Has anyone been able to enable this feature via their dealer?

Thanks for the great info. Just to confirm, even without DHP, are you able to adjust the suspension setting? I test drove 2020 M50i without DHP and with a press of button, the suspension of the car seemed a bit stiffer - is this controlled through air suspension?

Pressing any of the Driving Experience Control (Comfort, Sport, Adaptive) switches adjust the Electronic Damper Controls (EDC) and 2-axle air suspension level. Selecting DEC Sport will lower the air suspension to Sport level (-40mm) and adjust EDC to sportier damping characteristics. DEC Comfort will adjust the air suspension to Normal level and EDC to comfort damping characteristics. DEC Adaptive will adjust the air suspension to Normal level and EDC adaptive based on your driving style and route - will switch between Comfort or Sport EDC begins the scenes. With DEC Comfort or Adaptive, you can adjust the 2-level air suspension to Sport level.

Big thank you so much!! I am almost leaning towards not ordering DHP given how good the standard suspension felt on M50i. My 2015 X5 felt awful, floaty with base suspension.

Our X5 also displayed body roll during turns. Hopefully M50i with it's "M" suspension setup would be better than what we had in our X5 (2015 50i with base suspension). Thanks |

Configuring SPORT Individual, Sport Plus option is only available for engine and transmission driving dynamics.

Thank you - exactly. I want my sport customized mode to be able to allow me to select sport+ for steering which it does not.

Sport Plus for everything probably can be coded... I know you can code Sport Plus for engine and transmission. I have been meaning to try it, just have not got around to it yet.
