hi. Hi. I have a 2014-F30-335i with a simple shifter. I bought the sport shifter and coding it, but After programming, the rooting(programming,coding error) says there's an error. The shifter works but I can't delete the rooting error
What is the problem? what do you think?

Hold up, I have a 2015 F30 (without M-sport) and when I shift left it also shows S1-S8 (and the transmission gear timings change). But my car FA has 205. So I'm confused...does shifting the gear to the left and it showing S1-S8 == 2TB style transmission? From what i've read I thought adding 2TB will make the S1-S8 even better?

I haven't personally added 2TB yet and was planning to soon, but now do I have to?

Do you have the sports shifter with paddles or the standard shifter? That is the best way to tell.

I have the shifter without the leather boot and no paddles. So that means no SAT I'm assuming?

No clue, maybe this is how it is on the new models now.

You guys are right, this was totally a great thing to add. I can't believe how smooth the gear shift is now when cruising. Should have been the default programming from factory to begin with. :\
General question:
I have a 2013 328i Sport Line and Sport + is already enabled, but when driving in Sport mode with the shifter to the left I only see "DS", not S1, S2, etc. So to enable the SAT (not wanting launch mode at this time), is the FDL above all I need to change?

Thumbs up

Was expecting minimum improvement on this, have to say that I was very pleasantly surprised! Sport mode is fantastic now, and my MPE was loving it...

Sport Trans Shifter and Coding Tutorial 205 -> 2TB

http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1219013
I can say that following this tutorial does the complete job. I tried just doing it via FDL coding and 99% of it worked but there was no Sport+ in the list on cluster (between speedo & tach). I went back and did the VO coding and voilà. I also added the Sports shifter thanks to that thread!

Really strange.

I have an AH3 with 2TB from late 2013 and it only displays DS gear.
Also can't get Launch Control working. That's how I found out the Sport Auto is not activated. Have to bring it in next week. I guess warranty covers this.

Unhappy Service Visit

So I coded 2TB and some other things in my 2014 328i a few months ago and today I took my vehicle in for a routine service and an A/C freezing issue. The service advisor told me a few F30 owners have had that problem when driving on long trips and a software update should fix it.

They called me later and told me that the vehicle won't be ready today because the update failed and the computer said that they had to replace the electronic gear shift due to fault.

They are overnighting it, but I'm concerned if my coding caused the issue. I haven't had any trouble with the gear shift, but could the i-step fail because of the 2TB that I added?

Cars with 2TB have a different GWS Module. When ISTA/P Program's Car with 2TB in FA, it expects car to have this GWS Module. Yours obviously does not have it, so it has caused what you have here now at dealership. The big question is what GWS are they shipping to dealership, non-2TB or 2TB one. If they go to ETK and order replacement based on your VIN, it will be another non-2TB GWS, which will not match current FA, you will have repeat of problem.

Did you install the newer shifter or just code SAT? It would be interesting if the dealer installs the new shifter for you!

Yeah, the ordered the new shifter based on VIN. My SA was pretty cool, he called me when it arrived and confirmed it was the same one that I had. I told him that I'll bring the car back next week to finish the i-step update, once I set the 2TB back to 205. They noted my service order that "vehicle needs update, customer will bring back due to time contraints"...

That's cool. I guess I need to hang on to my original shifter like others have said in case I need a dealer software update.
