M track mode

[Simon 3.2M]

I asked my local Indy for a cost to enable M track mode on the car and they came back with £60 - does this seem a sensible price or are they being greedy? I’m assuming it should be a 10 min job?

[Bombardino]

Can it be done via Carly?

[dgm]

£60 sounds good to me.

Can’t be done on Carly.

If you’re lucky, someone on the forum may do it for you. I travelled a little distance to visit Gustavo and gave him some beers in return.
It’s a nice feature to have enabled.

[Ed Doe]

I wasn't aware Mtrack could be enabled on the Z4? Just to confirm is this the equivalent of the 'dsc' mode on the non-M cars?

Also another thing whilst I remember, can the csl shift lights be programmed onto the Z4M? Always fancied those because I'm a tart

[Argenta]

Good price. Do it!

[Bombardino]

So the all important question, I’m in Shropshire is there anyone who can enable M mode who isn’t a million miles away?

[bradz]

That's a good price Simon. I'd charge you double

Ed - Yeap same as the e46m3.

I did it on mine, it’s one option changed in coding. Easy to do, but I wouldn’t want to do it to somebody else’s car.

If we have someone on the forum with the right machine then it's a 15-minute job. I have it on mine, a quick press on the DSC enable's it...allows for just the right amount of slip, actually think the car drives a little better with it enabled.

I did it on mine amongst other coding including triple blink indicators at touch, DRL's, brake force display, dynamic brake control removal. It is a 10 min job to complete but you need the cable, circa £10 and the FOC software. £60 is a decent price from a garage as they need to spend a bit of extra time to check it out and test drive etc.

As a complete novice to coding, I did mine in ten minutes along with triple blink indicators and coding out brake assist.
I was sceptical about the benefits since I’m happy to drive on track with DSC off (wet or dry) and tended to leave DSC switched on for the road unless specifically hooning. However, it absolutely transforms the car for road use. It allows just enough slip to prevent the DSC interfering under hard acceleration on loose surfaces and allows the rear to slide around whilst keeping a safety net in the background. I now use it for every journey that doesn’t warrant switching DSC off completely.

Philipw, what’s brake force display?

What’s needed to do this yourself?

[blobslosak]

I had this on my e46 M3. Loved it so glad if can be done on the z4m. Following with interest.

Doesn’t it alter the intensity/amount of light illuminated?
