same to me, the difference in pedal way is not "suitable" for track use.
Has anybody coded out the CBC (Cornering Brake Control) or only the DBC ?
To my mind there is a change in pedal way too e.g. when braking in a double bend ...

thx from Austria :-)

CBC is an integrated function of dsc+ not a separate system like DBC, so all you need to do to disable is it is disable dsc with the normal button. On track I'm sure you must be doing this anyway so perhaps there is something else you are experiencing?

It comes as a result of DBC, you can read about how it works here, suffice to say it can be difficult to modulate the brake when coming off the throttle very quickly.

I've looked around on the web and haven't been able to find any one who has removed it on the Z4M, so I thought I'd have a go myself. Digging around it turns out our ecu is closely related to some of the newer e6/8x models and there in lay the answers.
The function you need to set to not active is BB_RAB found in the MK60 ecu.
That's it :) A very nice improvement on initial tests, pedal feel consistent :) I can update in a few weeks after Donnington.
If you wish you can also disable hill start assist which is HSA and also the automatic brake disk dry function for when it is wet by setting TB_BDD to not active.
Thanks Tom :thumbsup: I coded this today (as well as M Track Mode and triple flash turn signals) and it renders the brake pedal response predictable every time, regardless of the preceding throttle position. Heel and toe is now possible at road speeds without headbutting the steering wheel! I'm looking forward to trying it on the track in the New Year :driving:
Of note, the hill start assist continues to function exactly as it always has on my car.

Is there someone who can code this for me if I bring the car to them please? I’m in Berkshire

Bb_rab, is that still functional with the traction control all the way off Tom?

Yes, it's independent of the dsc+ system.

Great :thumbsup: Really made a big difference for me on track, I'm sure you'll find the same.
Interesting about HSA as someone else said theirs didn't work. I will check mine as actually I also coded it out but wouldn't mind it back, just never got round to enabling it again and seeing if it still works.
