@@FifaRafa-r3h It isn't. The VIN checker I suspect is only checking the type code (characters 3-6 of the VIN if recall). Only a very small number of '22s work - I've only heard from one person. You can download the app and it'll tell you, for free. But when I post my walk thru of how to do it, I can promise you it will work just fine. Just be aware that the XDrive models have narrower rear axles than RWD models to save/offset the added weight. It isn't a problem on stock power levels but just good to know.

@@xPyro_G87 Very interesting, i wasn't very optimistic you would reply on a 7 months old video haha, big respect for what you do, never seen someone jailbreak M-lites like this before, any ETA on the tutorial?

@FifaRafa-r3h I really want this done within a month but we'll see how long it takes for my throat to heal.

@@DennyHong-v7c Just gonna out myself and say that out of about 30 laps, these two (the third and fourth lap in the car ever 🤔) are the only laps I didn't spin or have to restart. Way, way too much grip for this yeah. I had 275 P Zeroes up front from factory that would become uselessly greasey after 3 consecutive laps. 275 wide Kendas out back because SimpleTire straight up forgot to ship the other set (245 Kendas). Last event of the season and wasn't gonna sit it out. I have PTSD from a turbo Miata that makes it almost impossible for me to stay balls deep on a sweeper; but I know that's what I need to do. I'm lifting at the worst time - then grip up right as I'm too late to throttle out. Sometimes it straights instantly. Sometimes I let off and I'm riding it out sideways for 20-50 feet (!). I'm straight up doing something wrong and trying to fix it lol.

@ damn it sounds tough, maybe some camber plate upfront and less way less grip in the rear helps. But yeah I’ve heard these ediffs are unpredictable.

@@gavin9627 Without hesitation, it is the easiest thing to do of all the mods. Once I get over this throat bug preventing me from speaking, I'll do make a how to on putting M240i sounds on my M2 to demonstrate it 😂 The audio amp firmware, like all other ECUs, have signature validations. I challenged a very skilled hacker friend of mine (who is prominent in the Nintendo emulation development community - hint, a lot of analog signal processing; Active Sound Design is generated on the fly, it isn't sound files!) to reverse engineer it to allow customizing of the sound it generates. So far he's extracted all of the audio alert sounds and has figured some checksums out. But a lot of work remains.

@@gavin9627 Huge update. I put the M240i engine sound on the M2 and I didn't hate it. Then I put the M4 CS firmware on and almost came LOL. And you can run the CS firmwares, too! Have all the steps/process recorded.

@@xPyro_G87 thats fucking awesome. super excited! another question: are the different firmwares only from the car’s year available or does it not matter. for example would a 2020 m340i be able to have the CS firmware even though that’s a 2024-2025 car? or would it be limited to the 2020 g80 etc? can’t wait for the video🙏🙏

​@@gavin9627 Year has no bearing in firmware. :) I have a 24 M2 running 25 M4 CS audio amp firmware for the engine noise change (not only a newer year, but requires a different bootloader which I didn't do, and that M4 is iDrive8.5 and I ran iDrive8 firmware). The only thing that will stop you cross-polinating firmwares like this, is bootloader signature validations. The firmware must be written by BMW & it must be compiled for the same "HWEL" (Hardware Electronics, physically).

Pull the old one out, drop the new one in! :) Get an iDrive7 "Pre-LCI" gear shifter knob. The module is known as a "GWS" ECU (the EGS7 is the trans controller itself). Any iDrive7/iDrive8 BMW shifter can be interchanged across any models. Just get one with the buttons that match to your features (parking radar, 360 cam, etc). If you do what I did and get a BMW M shifter (this one is from an M4) you won't be able to +/- shift which is the whole reason I got it. The buttons are also misaligned so you lose access to sport mode without wonky Body Control Module coding. Just getting an iDrive7 non-M shifter will give you the full functionality. I have heard rumors that someone who is working on a groundbreaking Finland-only service in the US 👀 has solved how to get +/- shifting working when using an ///M shifter in an M-Lite car, but I haven't spoken to him directly.

@@torentmonkey At the end of the video I flashed the M4 CS SWFK onto my G87's DME. It immediately failed with the drivetrain malfunction error on the infotainment. The banter about the error code at the end of the video (and my pinned FSC code comment) are how BMW is using certificate cryptography (the same stuff that HTTPS is based on, loosely - good, secure tech) to give you a sort of "license" for running that calibration. The car would start and drive but I didn't bother. Those calibrations won't work because BMW servers have not given my DME the FSC code. It isn't something that can be generated. Requires BMW private keys. I do question if an M4 Comp XDrive calibration would run. Fraction more power and weight. But I dont know if an FSC code is required for that category of vehicle. Again, I'm sure someone else has already tried it. Maybe I'll try it later. Shrug.

Would you be able to load M4 CS software with your DME unlocked?

@@stekkis With an unlocked DME, it is not impossible that one could modify the firmware binary file to not perform the FSC code check. But you would very much be on your own. It's a lot safer to just stick with off the shelf remaps.

@ ok thanks!

You can code the HMI Theme variable to "BMW_M" but like you probably saw, it won't boot (properly) as the M graphics files are not present in the firmware. You need to _flash_ the head unit; not just _code_ it. Working on the tutorial by converting my M2 to an "M2 CS." I know you didn't ask, but: recommend you switch to ProTool as Bimmercode abstracts everything away. "Too easy" and doesn't encourage you to learn about how the car works under the hood.

@@KevinUrban-u1z Each their own. Couldn't disagree more tbh. iDrive7 sucks in comparison, imo. 🤷‍♂️

I KNO IM SORRY 🤥

A "Private" staff-only day at Lake Erie Speedway; hence no barriers or cones were out. Track ownership gives a small group of ~20 of us free reign of the property so long as we're respectful/safe about it. Disclaimer: I am not staff; but I have done media for their 3-day "MatsErie" events. If you ever get the chance, definitely check it out. Amazing atmosphere.

Femto's unlock method is coming to the US very soon. Possibly around the East Coast. (do not DM/ask me anything more about it. I won't even reply.)

Son?! 🥹

@@Highlander1432 Having owned both, could not agree more! G87 feels only marginally better on the track, at the cost of serious quality of life issues.

@xPyro_G42 Yes These high performance high end cars require fast drivers and good roads to truly enjoy

@@Foxtrot6624 I am absolutely the Previous Owner your homeboys warn you about. Enjoy the car, stop babying it. PS: Spotless driving record for over 20 years. ❤️

@ Don’t why I was hating ngl I tried a burnout on ice the week I got it lmao

@@Foxtrot6624 LOL. I cannot recommend you find a skidpad drift event enough. My next post will be me sideways at the top of 4th gear. Car is a goddamn riot. The stock P Zeroes like to wheel hop a lot though.

Still waiting for the video 😅

@@Rivedvevo meow. 😈

This is a DJ Set that was performed at "Furality Umbra" in VRChat. The DJ's name is Value Factory. The set can be found right here on youtube, searching for `Value Factory Furality Umbra`. WARNING: Do not drive on public roads with this mix playing. 🤣 The mix is at about 10:55 seconds when this video starts. The track itself is "Howling" by "Cartoon." Mix link: ruclips.net/video/YHAv69l-8Tg/видео.html

@ awesome thank you!! I’m guessing cause it’s gonna make wanna cut up traffic? 🤣

@mlbguz6639 Put the mf mix on and see for yourself 😂 I am not responsible.

Shifter is from an M4, not from the "old" diet-M cars. You can, however, just swap it in. It is a drop in replacement, no configuration needed.

I never see "warm up" because I remote start it before I head out, and you should too. 🤭

@murkman_D I built mine and forgot to add remote start so i purchased it after but got used to not using it somfor ur question i live in ny and it be cold af I always wait for the warm up to disappear and then drive but I think if u got extra 2-3 mins u should wait for the whole engine to warm up

@@carloslopezrodriguez-m9bhow long does the warm up sign stay for 😊

@@blackcat6.2. like 10-12 mins😂

That just means don’t drive it hard till it’s warmed up no racing or hard acceleration

Yes, you can bash limiter all day in M mode (pretty sure in D mode too). Yes, it has the same LSD as the G87 M2; but with a couple less clutch disks since it makes less power.

@@luke9173 The charger itself never got warm in my experience but three Android phones have also overheated when using it w/ AAuto. Nor was it, or the built in Type C charger, enough to *actually* charge the phones during. Wired only outputs 10watts. I can't think I agree with you about the overheating, unless you mean without car play as well. But what I can agree with you is disappointment. This charger is so goddamn flaky and how come our dorky panoramic screens can have a cute internal cooling fan, but nothing to blow a gently breeze to keep our phones cool? 😭

@@Bigguns761 I drove probably half of the 27k miles I had the car, with it off. It's a software hack to force a config from a different car.

@@Bigguns761 All "M" "Competition" models are XDrive including his. BMW does not allow you to use Launch Control until the first oil change has been performed after 1200 miles. His car was still very new.

im curious bout this too

@@array_nyc No - I still intend to release that. I'm sorry to everyone that it's taking me so long to film it (I'm not a content creator type). I've been trying to find some sort of diagramming software to make it easier to understand how everything works. Just haven't found the right thing yet. I'm this close 👌 to learning the 3d animation library that 3blue1brown uses for his algorithm videos lmao.

@@xPyro_G87 ah say less brotha, appreciate it

@@xPyro_G87will be waiting for that video!

Sure. It's not what you might think actually, haha. I had muuuch better control with the M240i. 😬
