Euro MDM for F85/F86

Hello guys, just see that for F80 and F83 some people get coded their MDM to Euro spec, there os also actual for F85/F86?

If yes, can anyone give values that need to be coded? And say about diffrence?

I looked into it. I highly doubt it can be coded due to xDrive. If anyone is based in Europe, please share your MDM values.

shawnsheridan , do you have any insight if Euro MDM can be coded for an X5M?

Do you have an ENET Cable & ESYS? If so, read coding data on the DSC ECU and send me the corresponding NCD file that was generated to the c:\data\CAF directory

BMW created MDM (M Dynamic Mode) for M cars. This is a good balance between full nanny on and full nanny off. MDM allows you to have fun without getting in trouble.

In Europe, MDM is less intrusive. You can go sideways very far before the car's computer kicks in since it allows more wheel slips. In the U.S, MDM is more intrusive and constantly kicking in during WOT/spirited driving/track.

BMW assumes Americans are bad drivers, which they're right for the most part, so we don't get the fun MDM version. I coded Euro MDM on my M5, it's so much fun to drive - lots of wheel spins and side way action. Our X5M is AWD, just turn all nannies off if you want to have fun. There's no sense to running MDM if you plan to track an AWD vehicles, which are way more stable and easier to control than RWD vehicles.
