I have SE lined from ECS I'll be installing as well. Again not needed but why not. It's only about $120 for the set of 6

Can someone recommend a seller who can package the MPBK with F85 rotors? My goal is to not have to sell the rotors that come with the MPBK at a deep discount and pay up for new F85 rotors separately.

I've read from a few here that the dealer was open to a credit to hold onto the MPBK rotors and let you pay-up to the difference in F85 rotors. A local dealer actually looked up the difference in cost and it's only $65!!!!! How could BMW possibly make the decision to roll out this kit with a standard ventilated rotor when they could have just used the nicer F85 cross-drilled rotor? Crazy...

Cuz it's not $65 difference lol...it's like $50 haha

Heard of some dealers doing that but you're gonna have to ask your local dealer. Problem is cheapest price is getbmwparts. Maybe you can sweet talk them. Although they'll probably want to sell it as a one piece thing as the MPBK is a part number of its own as a whole. And it's what makes it cheaper than a la Carte.

But hey in other news. Looks like BMW isn't completely opposed to a fixed 4 pot rear caliper.

Thanks M2 CS...

I had a hard time trying to figure out how the hell to code this damn brakes, however after a few hours of youtube videos and sifting thru post after post, I finally figured it out and wanted to write a comprehensive coding in ESYS 3.27.1 since there isn't any pertaining to our F15 X5 M sport brake coding.

Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for any damages, injuries or death following this steps...I'm hardly an novice and more of an imbecile when it comes to coding BMW...so if your unsure on following these steps seek an expert coder for assistance.


Pre-step, Make sure your car is hooked up to an battery charger with at least 14V to prevent vehicle from going into sleep mode. Leave keys in the vehicle, and hit start button without starting engine (no foot on brakes) and connect OBD to your computer/laptop with ESYS

1. Start connection click on the Icon that is highlighted in red




2.Select F025 and click connect this is F15 X5 F16 X6 specific, this may take a moment (WHATEVER YOU DO NOT SELECT DIRECT)



3. Click read then save



4. Save it securely, you may choose any name for our example we'll use "feb 26 fa 3"



5. After saving click EDIT and it should automatically take you to FA-Editor




6. Expand all the folders and find HO-WORT, Right Click, select NEW and click on HO-WORT



8. You'll be prompted with a small text box within the drop down folders, type in SBRE and hit enter. (SBRE is for F15 M sport brake code)



9. Right click on the FA folder, then click on calculate FP



10. It should populate the vehicle profile with no error message...now if your ESYS is working properly it should show "Aftermarket Addon", in our case its folder 8, expand folder 8 and it should be another folder with 2376, which is 18in sportbrake for F15, this confirms that file is coded and ready to be written on vehicle. Besure to click the save disk (highlighted in red) to save it.




11. Look over to the left tab and click on "Expert Mode" then click on VCM and you should see a screen like this.



12. Next look down and find for vehicle order section, select file tab and click the |...| box (highlighted in red) to load the file that we saved on the FA editor. In our case the feb 26 fa 3.xml




13 Expand the FA files and find the HO-WORT to verify the SBRE is added



14. Right click on FA and click on calculate FP this should populate the Vehicle profile section with folders



15. In the Vehicle profile expand folder 8 and verify that 2376 is present (highlighted in green box), then click on the Master tab (highlighted orange box) and click on Write FA FP (highlighted red box) if all goes right there shouldn't be any errors popping up.



16.On the left tab click on expert mode thencoding (highlighted in orange), after if opens, click on Read and save, name the file diffrentely for our example i added coded in the end of file name, feel free to name it whatever you want.




17. After Read and Save, expand all the files and find Ho-wort and look for SBRE and in vehicle profile look for folder 8 and subfolder 2376 this means is has been written into the car but we still have to code into the module for it to be completed.



18. Now we need to code the new HO-WORT into the appropriate Module, click on the Read ECU (highlighted in red) and SAVE a copy.




19. In the SVT section, find DSC2 right click and select Code...this will take 1-5 mins and you'll see an ABS Warning message that will pop up for a second and disappear as it should resolve on its on (ESYS will erase the fault code automatically) it should not reappear.



20. If you did it all correctly you should have no errors and you'll get a abgeschlossen bearbeitung (process completed) dialog and a close button. (didn't get the image of it). Click close and another popup will appear and will ask you to save a text on what it did, it's up to you if you want to save it or not doesn't hurt either ways.

21. Click disconnect and your done. You now have successfully coded M Sport brake on your X5




I haven't driven it yet so I'll find out this afternoon on how it goes, it is super late lol its 0500 as of now time for some ZzZzZzZz

You're a better man than me! I identify with your "imbecile when it comes to coding" statment. I somehow fumbled my way through that process when I did my brakes. It took me hours and when I was done, I pretty much had no idea what I did and I sure as hell wasn't going to try and figure it out again to post up like this!

Great add to this thread!

Thanks Maverik. Now if someone can just let me know what dealer helped them out I'll make some convincing phone calls! I struck out with my local dealer because of the exact reason you mentioned; they didn't want to "screw up the packaging"...

Give getbmwparts a call. At least they already are accustomed to shipping stuff.

I almost want to suggest that you do this again but in a new thread as it will be easier to find in the future lol. But that would be a lot of work seeing how many screen shots you took.

also I assume you have ESYS pro given the token has expired for premium.

No my Esys is lite as I don’t have password for token, you can do VO coding and code the ecu but cannot do FDL Coding since it needs token pin.

Perhaps Dush can tag that thread on the front, I could copy and paste in a new thread but I feel this is an appropriate place to contribute since is a well known and knowledge dense thread.

Ya agree good place but it will get lost as it gets larger and larger. Like the coding threads.

So how did you code without FDL? Or is it all VO coding? I didn't read through it all as it's very long lol

It’s all VO coding.

TLDR: add SBRE to vehicle option, write to vehicle and code DSC2 to apply new braking parameters for ABS for m sport brake

Does it matter that the coding above references the F chassis? This brake code would be for an F85: 6-Piston versus the 4 on the E70.

When coding a BMW the thought of bricking a module due to me screwing up a process sends my anxiety thru the roof, so is good to be thorough just to be safe. When I read Alan L. coding guide, which was simple, i was totally lost lol!
