You guys are discussing about coding the steering heavier. It will still be an artificial electric steering what we have in F16/F15 and NOTHING brings back the old fashion hydraulic steering feel that E-series cars had.
Sport mode is just making the steering response heavier, pure electric resistance when rotating the steering wheel, but it still has nothing to do what is happening between rubber and road like it used to be in E70. I have F15 with M-sport, active suspension, rear-air, 20" wheels. Alignment is fine and car drives "ok", but I miss so much our previous E70 M-sport with adaptive drive (active damping and rollers). It was a tank, and you could feel how the tires react to road. BMW lost the original "freude am fahren" when they switched to electrical steering in F-series. |

I absolutely agree! But you have no idea how much better I like this car now that the steering is weighted appropriately. I had been kicking myself for a couple years for not having gone with the base Cayenne instead of this. I thought I would get used to the light steering but every time I drove my wife's F10 I would be like what the hell is wrong with the F15's steering. Also, not exactly sure what I did in BimmerCode but my Comfort mode steering since I did the coding is now at the resistance/weighting that my Sport mode was previously and my Sport steering weighting is a couple notches heavier still. The mid corner steering feel that I used to love on my old E46 and E60 may not come back but the resistance, self centering and feeling the need to work the steering is definitely back. |

Was about to purchase a CPO F15 a couple days ago but absolutely hated the way it handled. This gives me hope. What was the price of the module?

I wish all these companies would just make a setting so that everything is max sport except having the transmission Hold the gear like on a race track. In other words, native and old fashion..

Well, I guess I have taken too long to get into a newer BMW. We have three 3-series cars all pre 2008, and an absolutely amazing 2012 X5 Diesel. Recently looking at an F15 2017 M50i and all was great until the test drive. What the heck has BMW done to the steering, feels like a lexus. I'm hoping there is some software fix we can entertain as mentioned above so looking forward to more detail. Would hate to accept we will never get a newer Bimmer.

Who cares about steering feel on a giant SUV? Are you tracking this monster? And heavy just for the sake of heaviness does nothing for me. I prefer to feel the road more directly through the wheel, but that's not going to happen with steer by wire. I'm not bothered by it. This is not a sports car. In all modes the steering is responsive to inputs, not loose or overboosted. I like it.

I did the same thing and it worked. Made the steering SO much better! I can leave in comfort mode and the only "sport" aspect I have is heavier steering. Sweet!

So momoboy and/or others what are the exact steps you took from a-z to make the steering heavier? I'm new to Bimmercode.
Thanks! |

You can read yourself starting from page one of this thread. Otherwise, fit a smaller steering wheel, like the one from F3x. It will make the steering feel heavier.

Just an FYI...if all you want is the “heavier” steering & suspension feel of SPORT mode for daily driving...but not the engine & tranny parameters of SPORT mode....then first configure SPORT mode for CHASSIS ONLY. This will give you COMFORT (drivetrain) settings (engine & tranny) but give you SPORT (chassis) settings (for steering & suspension). If you ever need quickly need the SPORT drivetrain parameters, too...just push your gear shift lever over into the M/S gate and leave it there...and you will instantly get the engine & tranny sport parameters (or manual if you want to move the gear shift lever or shift paddles on the steering wheel). See pics below of iDrive (ID4) screen selection for individualizing SPORT mode. If you have a new iteration of iDrive (aka ID5/ID6)...the screen will look different...but the individualization of SPORT mode is basically the same...different look but same parameters. As you scroll the iDrive controller knob on the selection...it should identify on the display what area is affected by the selection you’re on (Chassis/Drivetrain/Chassis & Drivetrain):
