BimmerCode M Performance Logo

Hi,

Just recently purchased BimmerCode and managed to do a few things I wanted.

1 thing that's really odd is that I can't seem to code the M Performance Logo, any option I try defaults it to the M550d logo.

I have a Sept 2017 435d.

There is a solution - Update kombi & fem_gw to latest i-level will bring you the correct logos. Some i-levels in kombi had bugs with displaying the logos

My 435 with 09/2014 build date also will only display M550D logo when MPerformance logo is selected

Not possible to update i-level with Bimmercode AFAIK

Must go to dealer or have someone like Alex from Alpine remote code for you

But with Alex & remote coding for i-level update you must have a coding cable, have it plugged into car & directly into your router, and router into computer

Normally you would just plug cable into computer & car with your laptop running wireless to your router

This is the reason I didn't even bother when having him do some other remote coding for me. The trouble of moving my router from 2nd floor of house to driveway, then having a cable long enough to go all the way back to port in wall wasn't worth it for just a stupid logo...

Would a dealer do it? What is ilevel?

Sorry, used BimmerCode as coding is way beyond my knowledge!

Dealer can do it, but they will be expensive. If there was a warranty reason for them to update it - it would obviously be free

But if it's just cause you want them to - it's gonna cost

Here is my problem. I don't see 440i on the list, and this is what happens when I tried with 340i. It got another layer of text written "Platzhalter" on top of the "300i". I don't see any option to restore it back to default so now I'm stuck with this ugly logo.

If you ONLY update the KOMBI will it appear?

Since I don’t have a Icom I don’t want to play with the FEM_GW..

Worked fine with Bimmercode for my 07/2013 F31 330xd.

When I cleared some codes with Bimmerlink it disappeared so I had to code it again.

I am seeing 2 different things here
1. The M Performance logo appears when you enter the vehicle
I can load this with BimmerCode just fine
2. The M300i/platzholder needs a cluster update according to BimmerCode. I asked me dealer to update mine, said they did but got the same result. Had to use the restore to correct it.

What do you mean by restore? Restoring the software to previous version?
I'm a noob with these things but decided to do the coding and my OCD is killing me with the Platzhalter there. I also have no option to remove this setting whatsoever - i can only select 135, 235, etc.

Go to the earliest back up and reset everything. Don't code the item that picks your car. The M Performance logo is ok but the other does not work on my car

BimmerCode says that is a "placeholder". Stated cluster needs firmware update. I asked my dealer for a firmware update customer pay. Still didn't work.

Has someone succeeded to code an M-Performance logo on the fully digital cluster (6WB)!? Any pictures? I would like to do it but don't dare yet...

I haven't tried coding this option yet. to get rid of the "placeholder/Platzhalter"  text, can't you go back to the previous selection and recode?
