Hey man great video! I just have a couple questions... I have a 2011 535i as well without the normal/sport switch, and it seems like using the new switch to enter "Sport" is the same as knocking the gear selector from "D" to "S" , and then using the new switch to enter "Sport+" is the same as knocking the selector from "D" to "S" and then also pressing the wiggly road button to active "Traction Mode" ... so is the new switch just making these things easier to do, or is it actually changing other settings as well? I have the xHP stage 3 trans tune on, which gives me the quick shifts that I think the coding from 205 to 2TB would do. Appreciate any insight you have! Also subbed!
Well, the normal/sport switch not only changes the transmission mapping, but it also gives better throttle response. On cars with sport suspension, it changes the dampening and also makes the steering feel heavier. The XHP transmission tune is completely different then the sport transmission. I have the XHP tune planned for later this year.
@@JohnsonMotorsports gotcha, thanks for the reply! My car doesn't have active suspension (just regular but lowered on H&R sport springs), and my car is xDrive so it has hydraulic steering rather than the electronic steering RWD cars have, so I don't think my steering feel would change. As far as pedal feel, I have the MHD linear throttle mapping on, so I don't think my pedal feel could be any better... sounds like for my circumstances the new buttons wouldn't really add any functionality. Thanks again man, I don't feel so left out anymore not having the mode selection buttons! Side note: The xHP trans tune is 100% worth it!

Mine came with this factory and never really took advantage of it. The other day I used sport mode for the first time and it felt great with dynamic suspension. Going over speed bumps it didn’t bounce at all like when I’m in comfort mode. Feels glued to the road with no body roll.

Very good video I appreciate your video. Great job. I have a question. I’m not very versed with coding. I have coded everything I can on BimmerCode. What’s the simplest way to code the retrofit sport buttons. I have them installed but not functional yet. Thank You
I think the easiest would be to try coding with Bimmercode. If that doesn’t work, you would need to use Esys. It’s been a long time since I did the retrofit, so I can’t recall which I did.
Thanks man! Here’s a link to the instructions. www.bimmerfest.com/threads/f10-retrofit-dec-switch-for-normal-sport-sport-modes.685869/ I don’t know if you can code with Carly, but you could drop the question in the forum.

Yeah, I think so. Adding the switch was pretty easy. Now that I have it, I am switching the Sport and Sport+ all the time. I really like it for highway driving. Anytime I need to get over quickly, I switch to Sport mode and the car is drops a gear and is already in boost, plus the throttle response is much better.
Thanks for the video. I am trying to decide if I want to install some parts that my car (2011 535xi non m sport) which are a pre LCI M5 wheel and the driving mode selector. I noticed you might have the original non sport airbag in the M Sport / M5 wheel based on the gap. Does that at least 'work' for the time being until I upgrade it later?
Yeah, the install is pretty simple. The worst part was removing the plug down inside the center console. I definitely feel a difference with the new modes. I don't have dynamic suspension either, but it gives me better throttle response as well as steering. Car feels a lot more alive in Sport and Sport+.
@@JohnsonMotorsports Now is this basically sport mode transmission also? Without having to shift the gear selector left? What did you all notice when in sport and sport+
No, from what I can tell this is more than just sports transmission. I coded sports transmission roughly 9 months ago. These modes will utilize Sports transmission, but they give you a lot better throttle response and steering. With the dynamic suspension, I believe it’s even nicer. I haven’t had a lot of time to test the differences, but I think the car may have a slightly higher boost target. I could be wrong. I’m not tuned yet.
Sorry, for the delay in responding. Honestly, I'm not sure if this could all be done with Bimmercode. I had already coded my car for Sport Transmission with Esys because I had swapped to paddle shifters.
Hi great video thanks will this work on a 520 se without sports suspension I have paddles and sport gear box coded and do you have a picture of the connector you need
This should work, but I don’t have any experience with that model. You make ask on the forums and see if anyone has already completed this retrofit on your model.

Coding 2TB is not a standard option in Bimmercode. I coded my car using EYS, before I purchased Bimmercode. I'm not sure if you can code this using the expert mode of Bimmercode.
You needed to take the two plastic bolts out (Carefully) that are in the center holding the console down and the two tore screws up front, then you can easily lift up the whole center console and access underneath.

will this work on the 2013 F10 550ix
Dru E Yes, this should work on any F10.
Grant Johnson hey I attempted to do the retrofit of the DEC but it seem that my layout in that area of the center console is very different from the 535. I’ll have to send you a picture so you will understand
Sounds good. Send me the pic on IG @gjohnson7771
@@t-drue327 did you ever figure out how to do the retrofit with the 550 layout? Same issue I ran into
@@PPMKING394 nope

I would checkout that site as well. They have some good walk throughs for coding.
@@JohnsonMotorsports awesome thanks and with bimmer code you can also program the mirrors to fold
The programming code need to be recoded
Yes. For the Instrument cluster to work, it had to be virginized and the car had to be coded for the updated cluster. If you’re looking to get one virginized and remote coded let me know and I can get you in touch with a really good guy.
That seems hard to do
It took some time. Hardest part was getting my hands in the small compartment to remove the harnesses.
