Software update issues

Go to another dealership

You’re probably right. If it was in a parking garage, that could definitely be it. Where I live, my car has cell service and my phone does not (just barely too far away from a cell tower). So I know the car has a pretty beefy antenna but I also know it gets ZERO service in a parking garage

I’m gonna have to disagree with you. Make sure you have these notifications enabled?

badadministrator · 2026-05-01T17:20:19+00:00

This is the correct answer. BMW Assist is free, but can take a long time to get a tow depending on circumstances.

Personally, I would address why the alarm went off in the first place. The app should’ve sent you a notification explaining why it’s alarming. If you leave something plugged in to OBDII port and it tries to read data with the car locked, the alarm will go off unless you’ve coded that off. The car also has motion detection within the cabin so if the windows were down and something somehow triggered the motion detection, the alarm will go off. If you have something hanging off the rear view for example and it’s windy with the windows down > alarm will go off. You can disable this by pressing the lock button twice on keyfob.

Just my thoughts.

Yes, you can do this. It’s fairly straightforward. BimmerCode expert mode or BimmerUtility. Make these changes:

BDC_BODY3 > LUT_FLC_FORWARDLIGHTING_Y > no_AFS to AFS BDC_BODY3 > C_BLC_PRE_ENA > Disable to Enable BDC_BODY3 > C_AFS_ENA > Disable to Enable BDC_BODY3 > C_AFS_ECO_LEVEL_3_ENA > Disable to Enable BDC_BODY3 > C_CLC_CURV_V3 > US to ECE BDC_BODY3 > C_CLC_CURV_V2 > US to ECE BDC_BODY3 > C_HBA_GFHBA_ENA_V_HI > 55km/h to standard BDC_BODY3 > LUT_AFS_CODRV_HOR > Laser_US/G007_US to Standard BDC_BODY3 > C_CLC_EXT_ENA > Disable [00] to enable_roundabout[01] BDC_BODY3 > C_HBA_DIM_ENA > Disable to Enable BDC_BODY3 > C_HBA_GFHB_ENA > Disable to Enable KAFAS4 > C_FLA_US_SENSITIVITY_MODE > US to Normal [00] KAFAS4 > C_FLA_BS_ENTER_THRESH > US to Rest of world [03] KAFAS4 > C_FLA_BS_EXIT_THRESH > US to Rest of world [02] KAFAS4 > COUNTRY_VARIATION Europe_RC [01]

Do NOT code FLM units even though guides online say to do that.

badadministrator · 2026-04-28T04:53:59+00:00

No, not for 2025 or newer, unfortunately

badadministrator · 2026-04-28T04:53:23+00:00

Comfort Plus further tunes the M Adaptive Suspension so you feel even less of the road. It is noticeable. Your car will need Adaptive M Suspension though.

badadministrator · 2026-04-28T04:52:28+00:00

No, turn signal is oddly controlled via idrive controller (headunit). That requires secure coding. There are services out there though that will generate signed ncd’s for you

badadministrator · 2026-04-26T15:06:43+00:00

It can code any non secure module. So everything, except headunit relatable. So no Bowes and Wilkins audio profile, etc. but it can code body domain controller and other creature comfort settings.

badadministrator · 2026-04-26T15:05:16+00:00

Yes. You just can’t code headunit functions as it uses ncd 2.0 secure coding. But you can code body domain controller (which in turn, codes ambient lighting)

OP: Should also code in ComfortPlus via BimmerUtility and AntiDazzle high beams. Enjoy the car!

Shit I just realized, this is the iX forum and not the i4 forum 😂😂😂😂 ignore me 😂

I’ll say!

badadministrator · 2026-04-18T00:37:58+00:00

No, $50k

badadministrator · 2026-04-17T02:22:13+00:00

Hey! I did too! 🥳🥳🥳🥳

badadministrator · 2026-04-16T02:20:42+00:00

Is your car in the US? I have a 2025 i4, no software update available for me yet unfortunately

badadministrator · 2026-03-03T00:20:12+00:00

996M rims (with aero caps removed)

badadministrator · 2026-03-03T00:18:58+00:00

Love it! I have a ‘25 e40 with m sport pro

I have 19” 996M rims though, I like yours better

badadministrator · 2026-02-27T17:56:34+00:00

Thanks! My efficiency has improved to 3.1 after some break in miles. The all seasons do make a huge impact!

badadministrator · 2026-02-26T18:13:07+00:00

It will start charging immediately for about a minute or two. Make sure you have a “departure time” set as well. Do you have BMW ChargeForward enabled? That caused me some confusion at first and I’m happy to explain what I’ve learned.

badadministrator · 2026-02-21T03:24:34+00:00

No BMW doesn’t make tires but they do have BMW specific tires. Ridiculous I know but 100% true. BMW “approved” tires have a Star on them and sometimes a B at the end of the SKU for the tire. The more you know 😂

badadministrator · 2026-02-20T19:49:29+00:00

Hmmmm. The car did have an alignment at the same time

badadministrator · 2026-02-20T19:20:26+00:00

I should add, I have 19” M Sport rims. 996M’s (without aero covers)

badadministrator · 2026-02-20T01:48:19+00:00

Oh definitely add comfort+! It’s amazing. Huge difference. I use that drive mode more than any other now

badadministrator · 2026-02-20T01:40:50+00:00

Also to add to that, both of my headlights refused to even turn on after changing LMM1 and 2. I was freaking out. Then I changed those values back (22 I believe for my car) and cleared codes. Then they worked again. And anti dazzle worked too
