Coded SPBR, Mirrors, Sport trans..Impressions

After much time spent on the sidelines, I decided to Code my car, with much help from Shawn, I was able to figure most of this out. Although after coding, I'm seeing that when engaging reverse, only the right mirror dips down, the driver side won't???.

Anyway, after driving around with m performance brakes for 3 month, I was beginning to regret my decision, they were mushy, required a lot more input to stop than the stock brakes, almost seemed a burden. I coded SPBR, and wow, right away I could tell the braking system increased pressure, the brakes feel stiffer, more direct and bite down really hard, now I have to stop myself from over engaging the pedal. For anyone who has M perf brakes, code SPBR!, huge difference. And as a side note, first drive threw off a brake system malfunction, I cleared it and so far nothing.

The Sport tranny also gives new character to the car, in comfort mode, the car no longer feel lethargic, seems like its eager to accelerate, definitely feel a difference.

Minor Coding was for auto closing mirrors with comfort access, now i seem to have an issue with the left mirror not folding down as mentioned before. I think I read somewhere that that parameter might change after coding, i don't recall. Changed the DRL to 32 brightness with HID projectors on, in my opinion a little to bright. Does anyone know where I can get the codes that allow me to use sport steering in comfort mode?.

Thanks, will try that tomorrow. Although I believe I looked for that function and didn't find it, I don't have Nav, just Idrive.

Only the passenger side mirror goes down. Had mine since 2012. Totally fine.

If you have M performance brakes installed, this is an option needed for them to work like they are supposed to.
