335i Possible for launch control RF?

Rydugo1 · 12-13-2018, 04:20 PM

New here so I’ll start by saying hi everyone!

I’m Ry! Love BMW’s. Had a few so far from a 318ci E46, to 325D E90, 530D E60, X5 35D E70 (still own) & now a 335i ActiveHybrid3 F30. I’ve been driving since Dec/2013 so quite a few in only short time. Also owned 4 other manufactures so.. Lol. Anyway boring bit over..

I’m currently in the process of tuning my 335i. Currently running a Stage 1, Decat straight through with rear silencer, BMS cold air intake, & Wagner performance intercooler amongst a tonne of cosmetic updates. More boring bit over.

Now... I’m HOPING there’s a way of retrofitting/coding launch control into my car? It didn’t come with it, & doesn’t have sport+, only Sport-Comfort-EcoPro. (It’s a ‘luxury’ trim)

Please please please is there a way to add launch control? However expensive or complex is no matter! Thank you

Appreciate the response. To clarify, it's possible even with my car only having SPORT mode & not Sport+?

Yes. You code the Sports Auto code.

Yes, you can code the Sport+ and Sport Auto Transmission (along with LC). For my 328i, it didnt' come with Sport+ or Sport Auto Transmission and I had it enabled via coding (same for BT audio streaming)

Any links to a post with the info? I'm struggling to dig through the heaps of threads on here lol

Downloaded BimmerCode and buy a Vgate WiFi dongle to connect to OBD.

Youll have Sport+ and LC in a matter of minutes.

No luck. In demo mode transmission options were there, but unfortunately not when connected. I even paid the £25.99 unlock coding fee. No luck. Lol

2013 (pre-March)

Any idea how all of this can be done (plus activating paddle shifts) via laptop?

I'm guessing there's no way on Bimmercode. I had my hopes up after looking at options in Demo Mode. Lol

Hmm...just saw you have an AH3. I'm wondering if maybe that's the limiting factor for you because others have successfully coded Sport auto without issues.

Good question but, realistically what difference would it make? The only difference in the car itself is it has a hybrid system (a shit one at that) haha
