DHP = Hydraulic Steering ?

[Mo_far]

Lol now that "Or" in the screenshot is confusing me. Having said that sounds like you've done your research and as the car I mentioned doesn't have AS, then it's a no

[Qsilver7]

Don’t be confused...the “or” means if you can say “yes” to any of those options listed...then you will have the hydraulic power steering reservoir.

You can have any of the three listed option codes...or any combination of the listed option codes. That is what the “or” means.

I'm looking at 50i M sport that has the below options, safe to assume it have the hydraulic steering? haven't test driven it yet.

2VP ADAPTIVE SUSPENSION PACKAGE DYNAMIC

2VF ADAPTIV M SUSPENSION

Hi, 2VP means that car has DHP (active anti roll bars and rear differential with torque vectoring) which is a great thing!

If you are looking for Active Steering you need to check for option 217.

Thanks both. Will test drive this one and hoping it’s the one.

Active steering isn’t a big deal for me but coming from e93 the overassted EPS really put me off on the last test drive so I’m actively looking for one with options that at least improve on this

From this thread...I actually came across somewhat of a solution for those who have the "standard" suspension (which means the "EPS" electronic steering being kind of trashed in this thread).

I was able to recode my "SPORT" mode from an all-or-nothing selection (meaning when SPORT is selected you have the chassis & drive train changes with no way of "individualizing" to only select the chassis). This was done using the BIMMERCODE app....going into EXPERT MODE and coding the HU_NBT (NBT headunit) & ICM (integrated chassis management) control modules.

This allows me to select SPORT mode and choose CHASSIS only which "tightens-up" the steering but leaves the drive train (engine, throttle, transmission) alone...so the drive train remains in the default COMFORT setting...but the CHASSIS (steering in my case since there's no adaptive suspension) goes into sport mode to tighten up the steering & kill the light feeling steering of COMFORT mode.

The pics below shows the original iDrive screen...then the changes that appeared in the iDrive screen after coding to bring the INDIVIDUAL BARS in SPORT mode:

1. original iDrive SPORT screen (prior to coding)
2. new iDrive SPORT screen (after coding)
3. new CONFIGURE SPORT button
4. CHASSIS selection only (which tightens up the steering)
5. DRIVE TRAIN selection only (puts the engine/throttle/transmission in sport mode only)
6. CHASSIS & DRIVE TRAIN Sport mode selection

The images below show what I changed in the HU-NBT (1 of 2 modules that require coding) to make the changes above that allowed me to configure my SPORT mode (individualize) so that I could select CHASSIS (only), DRIVE TRAIN (only), or both CHASSIS & DRIVE TRAIN.

I used the BIMMERCODE app & used EXPERT MODE to change settings in the HU-NBT & ICM control modules.

Changes made in the HU-NBT control module:
1. Go into HU-NBT module and select for 3001
2. You can scroll down through the selections to find it or use the SEARCH field and type MACRO_FDS
3. if your default selection says only_popup then change the selection to what is shown in the next pic below
4. select popup_and_config

The images below show what I changed in the ICM module (2 of 2 modules that require coding) to make the changes above that allowed me to configure my SPORT mode (individualize) so that I could select CHASSIS (only), DRIVE TRAIN (only), or both CHASSIS & DRIVE TRAIN.

1.Open the ICM module then go into EXPERT MODE and select 300A DSC_ICM_Codierdaten
2. You can scroll down to find it or you can type SPORT into the search box to find the selections shown in the 2nd pic below {QdmKfvSport IndividualisierbarDEP}
3. if you see that NichtIndividualisierbar is selected, then change it to what is seen in the next pic below
4. Select Individualisierbar
