Using bimmercode:

Instrument Cluster/expert mode/

FZG_Ausstattung

SPA_enable : nicht aktiv
SPA_ist_enable: aktiv
SPA_Kombiselect_DISABLE: Nicht aktiv

Okay so it looks like it it's not possible in 2014 335i because I don't have spa_ist_enable. Only spa gang enable. Thanks though. I'll try it again I guess

Bro, thank you so much for this. I have searched and asked a lot around here about making shift indicator telling me what gear I'm in stead of telling me when to shift and nobody give me anything.

Isaac, the screenshot you showed earlier showed you had all three SPA settings. I may have not written down 'gang' but that's the one I had.

Feels great, needs more effort to shift and you get more feedback through there shifter. Mine is centered but the knob is a bit canted to the left, doesn't bother me much. Keeping it at stock height for now. Double posting here for relevance

How long was the install time?

Took me about 4 hours working casually while having a beer or four. I have a quickjack so which can get the car pretty high off the ground. I also didn't want to dirty the interior so I did a mini wardrobe change with coveralls everytime I went from inside to under the car.

I have a 2018 340i. Very late production. July 2018.
Zhp model. With MPPSK, M sport non adaptive suspension,MLSD and M perf brakes.

In the past had a 2002 Z3 Coupe, 2011 135i, a few Saabs, a Porsche Cayenne. All manuals - including the Cayenne.

Very much enjoy the 340! Switching to non run flat tyres was the best move. Although 19s are still a bit too bling for me.
It's as close to a e39 in a modern package as you can get except for lack of hydro steering.

320d, speed manual

[wishbone]

I own 2 manuals right now:

F80 ///M3 2018 / ZCP / executive / 6-speed / nav

F30 328i 2014 / JB stage 1 / premium pkg / 6-speed / nav / hex trim / HK sound / B14 coilovers / oem roof rack

I’ve done the work/ upgrades myself on the f30. Have lots more OE/ OEM+ parts that I’ve had fun installing.

Bought the 2014 in 2017 from bmw here in chapel hill. Have put on about 25k miles and the picked up the m3 last year in Ann Arbor from a private sale, have put about 2.5k on that in my 12 months of ownership.

Owned an e24 5 speed for about 8 years when I was younger. I think the manuals really make these cars fun.

I have a manual F30 2017 320D M Sport, but I’m in England and driving manual is relatively common here - although took me a while to find one that wasn’t auto when I was shopping
