In this video I'm giving a sound check of my #BMW #M240i #XDrive converted to RWD mode. Car is running #xHP Stage 3.
so sick man, can't wait to own one of these when I'm a bit older!
Is bro driving with just socks 😂😂
Sometimes I just throw my shoes in the pass footwell if I'm on a long drive lol
Bro is bro'ing 😂
@@apolloniusbeitsman5444 LMAOOOO
buddy these features are wild lol
straight fire, i can tell youve got skill but pls be careful lol
Appreciate the remarks. Always.
I'm all in for that M4 shifter swap!
Agreed! BMW knew what they were doing taking the shifter away… most people WANT it and BMW is basically saying, “you want the shifter, get an M2” lol
Bas tards
bout to get mine as its waiting to be transported! Biggest upset for me was the lack of a center console gear lever. Can you do a video on the retrofit?
Will do! I don't recommend it until I get the DriveLogic software working. I have a short posted about this swap. It only introduces issues and shifting up/down using it does not work.
It is an M4 Competition shifter; if you want to get up/down shifting, get a regular pre-LCI shifter from a 20-22 M240i, M340i, or M840i. It is a direct, drop in replacement.
There is a common problem with removing the trim though. The center piece does not want to come out. I'll cover it.
@@xPyro_G87 awesome! thanks for the info. looking forward to you covering it!
@@xPyro_G87did you ever post this?

Please share how you got the coding for the M2 style ID8 🙏🏽🙏🏽 i’m looking to do this on my 24’
It isn't (just) coding to swap to id8. For the infotainment you have to also flash the M2 firmware; the M theme/graphics/etc files do not exist.
The gauge cluster ("DKOMBI8" module) is encrypted and requires a BMW server (... insider) to generate configs for your car. The cluster also requires a man-in-the-middle hardware module - and wiring changes - to emulate CAN bus msgs only present on a real M car.
For the infotainment I'll post a tutorial soon, along with my triple zone ambient lighting, M2 fake engine noise, and more.
@@xPyro_G87 Looking forward to it! Especially triple climate ambient lighting
Heyyy was wondering if any upcoming video that you were telling us about. Are you not going to release the tutorial videos?
awesome video, makes me want an M240, would love to see how you did the M4 shifter swap. was there any coding required?
None. I have a YT short posted about it. Just be aware that you won't be able to up/down shift with it. The packets it sends for that are not compatible. Just get a diet-M-car pre-LCI shifter. That too, can drop in, no coding.
@@xPyro_G87 I've get a 2024 M340 coming so I'll definitely look into the pre lci shifter. do you know whether the pre lci shifter would function like it did in the pre lci?
for instance, would you be able to shift the shifter to the left and have it switch into manual mode/sport transmission? or would it still function like the lci where you'd have to pull down twice to go into manual mode
hopefully that question makes sense lmao
@@earthquake125_ I'm pretty certain it will function as a pre-lci shifter. The way the trans firmware (and any ecu firmware design) works, it's pretty flexible.
But the whole point of the pre-lci retrofit isn't just for looks; it's for the +/- functionality. So up/down movements are handled properly from what I can tell.
Let me know how it goes if you do it!
@@xPyro_G87 awesome man, thanks for the info! if i try it i'll let you know.
@@xPyro_G87just bought a 2024 M240i. I am so glad I found this. Will you ever make a video with the gear shifter that’s able to shift up and down as well?
How did you turn all wheel drive off in mine 2023 model I can’t x delete don’t work I wanna do some drifting
whens the x delete video dropping
I'm working on a device to allow rapid switching of AWD/RWD for the boys pushing this platform to the moon.
Ok you’re the second person ive seen with an M gear selector in a non M car, kies motor sports had the same set up in their 330i.
How do you do this? I cant imagine you just unplug the stock selector and install the new one without any coding.
In the Kies video they have a M*40i shifter, not an M car shifter! If we're thinking of the onramp drifting video haha.
The iDrive7 shifter will fit right in. Same size, connector, CAN busses/data packets, etc. No coding required!
I'm running an M4 Competition shifter. Drops in but the firmware on it is totally incompatible. Works for basics, but not up/down shifting and the M car buttons don't map properly to diet-M car drive mode buttons.
Don't do what I do. Get a 2019-2021 non-M-car ("pre lci") shifter!
did you modify your shifter panel to have a m2 shifter? If yes, how hard was the job and how much it costed you?
what are you using to x delete and all the M dash settings?
Hey bro also have G42 i have my full screen coded by a guy from Asia to M cluster I’ll upload video soon but how did you get the M2 sounds from the speakers
The receiver audio module has to have it's firmware (not coding - firmware) replaced with G87 M2 flash files. I'm working with a friend of mine to allow uploading of custom audio.
Any progress on this?@@xPyro_G87
how do you get the m2 center console UI on your car? I can't do it through bimmer code and I love the m2 UI more than anything. Wish the M240i had a special center console!
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.
how do you have the new HUD and screens but the old shift stick? Did you swap it in?
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.
Would love to hear this with no asd, period!!! cannot find any videos with it off. The fake engine noise sucks but the fake upshifts are absolutely unbearable.
I just recorded a tea run; had M2 ASD on going there and shut it (FULLY) off by improperly configuring it. You might think it's annoying but mate, with stock exhaust, the road is louder than a downshift to 5000 RPM lol. Even with my rear seats folded down to hear better. It's rough.
With it off I hit rev limiter a LOT taking off from a stop if I have music on. I forget it's in manual mode and can't hear/see/feel a THING.
@@xPyro_G87I believe it! I’d still love to hear it haha. I have a e90 335 with the n55, it’s crazy just how much louder inside that is than a b58.
How did you get the M2 infotainment theme?
Where’s the tutorial
Hi, I have a 240 just arrived in Italy. How did you get the gear lever? Is it stock or it's an after market part? Indeed I hate the small item they put into my MY.
Stock M4 Competition gear selector, 2022, from eBay. About 400 USD. Using it for a personal project. If you want +/- shifting you can just drop-in a gear shifter from a 2020-2022 model M240i, M340i, M840i, possibly others.
@@xPyro_G87 thank you so much! Did you make the swap by your self and or you needed the help of a tech guy? I know it can be an easy swap, only afraid of electronic incompatibility, light flashing in the dashboard etc.. Thanks again
@@andreapaglia4255 for a diet-M car shifter you don't have to do a thing - just drop it in. Same protocol, same coding, same connector, hell pretty sure same firmware on it. 😁
As for a "real M" shifter like I have, don't do it, too much stuff is incompatible. Have to do a lot of hacky coding in the body control module just go get Sport modes back 🙃
Hey bro! How do you get M full screen? Can you show me tutorial or maybe I can pay you for doing this?
You cannot pay me - the reason I'm working on all this stuff is because too many people on Instagram have been asking for the same. But I work in cybersecurity and it's a bit wild to just let some instagrammers open a VPN tunnel to your computer lol.
The process for swapping the M theme is very, very similar to the AWD/RWD switching; and it's not something that can be done with coding alone. The factory diet-M firmwares do not have the theme files necessary. Coding it will just cause your infotainment to not boot.
I'll tackle the cosmetic stuff first since it's easier. I might be trading this car in for an M2 soon and if I do; I'll absolutely be posting it before then.
In very short since I fucking hate gatekeepers lmao: using eSys you more or less do a software update on certain modules in the car but flash incorrect firmware files by changing your vehicle descriptor and/or editing your flash procedure ("TAL") file to use the software ID numbers of real M cars.
Vehicular DIY's "M-Track Module" video covers this process similarly-enough.
@@xPyro_G87 thank you for the answer. I appreciate it. I will still waiting for your video instruction how to do it. Bless you
How did you get M2/M3/M4 active sound on the m240i
You have to edit some UUIDs in ESys to force M2 audio amp firmware (not coding -- SWFL/SWFK firmware files) onto the amp itself.
Has the M2 ADS been coded using bimmercode? Any way you could show us how it's been done? Got an M440i but I suppose it's the same principle for me to get the G82 sound.
A video is in the works. It cannot be coded; no. This is a full system firmware change, not just coding.
I'm slowly learning more as a tweak and fuzz around this implementation. I've got "M2 brap on lift" working in my car purely by accident lol. It's entirely just the subwoofer but it's so convincing I thought it was real lmao.
@@xPyro_G87 still waiting on your video tutorial. Looking forward to!!!
where is the mic? is this fake engine sound or did you put the mic somewhere outside the car?
The microphone is built into the Insta360 Ace Pro (and is OK but the dynamic compression is AWFUL!!)
All modern BMWs pump in a TON of fake engine sound. You basically can't hear the engine over the radio at just 1/3 volume without it.
Previous Honda guy looking to convert to bmw are the 4cyl any good as rn the i6 is out of my price range…I want a m340ixdrive w m sport package so bad
The B48 is a GOOD engine! Plus it's lighter and you definitely feel it! I was given a 230i Gran Coupe as a loaner. I'm too tall so hated the interior, hit my knee on the wheel all the time.
But the steering on that 230i was SO much better than my M240i. Go check out Vehicular DIY - he's pushing his B48 well past 400+ HP. Only problem is the 230i doesn't get the M Sport Diff that the "real" M cars get. It's a shame, because it's such a damn good option.
mate how did u put that thing to indicate how many hp u are using? i dont have that
In the M-lite firmware it's only in the infotainment screen under Adaptive Content; but the instrument cluster widget is rendered by the infotainment and that's just a coding option. Do note that turning that on breaks a couple other features like shortcuts to Sport Individual; the ability to control Iconic Sounds (I have that on a shortcut to close the valves in sport mode when cops are around). etc.
Niceeee
Duuude. That dashboard is horrible. It looks like someting from a 90s scifi movie. I could NOT own that car because of that alone. Looks like a tesla
@@KevinUrban-u1z Each their own. Couldn't disagree more tbh. iDrive7 sucks in comparison, imo. 🤷♂️
