Question on Sport + mode for X5 50i
I have a 2018 X5 50i, non M package. I can't seem to enable the Sport + function " disable traction control" on my vehicle. Is there a certain way on how to activate it or it this function only available on M sport models?

On non M Sport pack cars, you have to use a coding tool like BimmerCode or similar to enable it.

Ditto the reply above. In order to have the SPORT+ driving mode…it requires SAT (sport automatic transmission)…which comes with the M-sport pkg. Once you code for SAT, you can then do additional coding to activate the SPORT+ driving mode setting to appear in iDrive and the cluster etc.
You can see the SAT coding selection below from the Bimmercode.app website for the f15 X5:

I can confirm I was able to do this with BimmerCode on my XLine pack car. Got Sport+ coded in the Body Control Module and Instrument Cluster and SAT activated through the transmission.

See example below from my 2013 650ix GC which had the CIC iDrive…the embedded owners manual in iDrive is VIN specific…so the oil recommendations will be specific to your BMW:

Just wanted to loop back on my original post. I'm now able to activate Sport+ while the vehicle is in park. I guess trying to enable while in Drive won't able + but only sport mode? I'm still perplexed because I don't have the M package.
Also looked up my vin spec and it specifies I have SAT. Last edited by CARBONBLKM3; 05-17-2024 at 05:10 PM.. |
