M Performance brake coding with Bimmercode possible?
Hey all
Read through all of the threads on this, as I MAY have a line on a set of M Performance brakes for my F32. Is the only way to code in the brakes with PSDZDATA, or similar, or can this be done differently with something like Bimmercode. GREAT step by step from the other threads for reference. Using Esys 3.23.4 with psdzdata 51.1 1. Connect=>Expert Mode=>Coding=>Read FA=>Save FA 2. Editiors & Viewers=>FA-Editor=>Go to HO-Wort and right click to "Edit", then type (means add) "SPBR" under HO-Wort folder 3. Highlight the FA, "Activate FA" and "Calculate FA" to verify no error is found after adding the SPBR. 4. Check the Vehicle Profile to locate the "aftermarket retrofit" and verify the "SPBR_18_ZOLL_SPORTBRAKE" is added to the folder 5. Write FA to the car. No confirmation window will pop up after saving the FA to the car. So you need to go to next step for verification. 6. Expert Mode=>Coding=>Read FA. You are able to see the SPBR being added to the HO-Wort folder on your car. 7. Read SVT, and locate the "DSC" (File Folder SVT/ECU/DSC), then right click the "DSC" folder and select "Code". Coding would begin immediately. 8. Wait until the coding is finished, and repeat Step 1 to save a copy of the new FA. 9. Unplug the PC from the car. The M-Performance Brake is now enable and enjoy the genuine M-Performance Braking experience.

Stefan-
When I retrofitted the M4 blue 370mm calipers on my car 3 yrs ago I didn't code for the brakes - do not notice any detrimental effect at all - car brakes as before (actually a better due to the increased rotor size/rear caliper upgrade + Porterfield pads) Based on varied experience, there seems to be a lack of consensus as to whether the coding is needed or not... It would be nice to know from a reliable source exactly what the coding is supposed to accomplish as far as braking performance

I ran without coding after installing my MPBBK. After coding, the brake pedal got a lot more firm and connected. I would recommend doing the coding since it changes the brake bias to accommodate the larger rotors (seemingly) and the ramp up on how the pedal ramps up the brakes now.

The coding aspect of it has less to with the actual function of the brake and/or pedal feel - brakes will perform the same. It has more to do with the ABS/DSC/DTC function and how they operate with standard brakes vs. M Performance brakes.

I just scored on a killer deal with a set of 4 off of a wrecked M4, so will be looking into how to make this change!

I have run the M-Performance upgrade for a month now and the brakes are amazing, but the pedal appears to be soft most of the time, even though the bleeding was done a couple of times. I hope coding at the dealership ($250) will resolve this, as some have commented here.
The issue for me was the collision-avoidance kicked in when it felt I was too close to a car exiting the freeway and instead of the audible/visual indicators the brakes did some weird application that was concerning. The dealership seems convinced this was due to a lack of coding. I wish Bimmercode had a solution for this to save me the money, but overall the new brakes deserve to be working at top performance and if the coding does that, then it will be worth it. Update to come. Last edited by Ptown_F31; 08-03-2023 at 04:19 PM.. |

Coding definitely has to be done in e-sys if stock brakes had front single piston (312x24 or 330x24) from the factory and have upgraded to front Brembos (either 340 or 370). It’s really coding for a different front/rear brake bias, not a specific caliper. Coders will say that they see places to specify specific calipers but that doesn’t seem to matter. As long as the brake bias is coded to S2NH the new Brembos should work fine. S2NH works for any typical Brembo combination: F370/R345, F340/Rear345, F340/R330 (Bosch single piston). My car came from the factory with F340/R330 and was coded S2NH from the factory. I subsequently did two upgrades to F340/R345, followed by F370/R345. Never had to be recoded from stock F/R bias code. https://youtu.be/o7XsCMqZXw0?si=GsYAlCwkV0iMfAa5 |
