Not sure to be honest.....but why would you want to?

 

Coilovers have handling advantages, less roll, batter response, should improve my lap times on track days.

 

Remove 2VF Adaptive M suspension from FA and VO Code DSC, KOMBI, ICM, and HU_NBT. F8x M3/M4 have to have the EDC/VDC module disconnected for the M1/M2 to work, if 2VF is removed from the VO. Not sure if M140i is same.

 

Sorry to hijack....

Shawn, you frequently reply to posts listing the modules that require re-VO coding following changing the FA, how does one determine what module would be affected, is it similar to dependencies when flashing?

Kind regards and sorry again for the hijack

 

I'm totally new to coding, so i'm sure i fully understand all of this.
Can I take some screen shots to show you the current settings? will this help us figure it out some way?

 

I don't need any screen shots. You just need to do as I wrote. Modify FA accordingly, and VO Code the affected ECU's.

 

[emoji1303] Thanks, that's what we normally do, but pain having to do them all one by one as haven't found a way to select all.

 

Just press and hold the Ctrl Key, and then select multiple ECU, and then select Code.

 

VO Code, not FDL Code. Follow this Guide:

Thank you very much for the guide, now i understand what to do.
Coilovers should arrive in the next few weeks now i'm prepered

On a different matter, i have installed the m-performance LSD, do you know if I need to code out the e-diff? and if i do where / what do i need to change?

Thanks again for your help!!

 

No, sorry. I have no idea.

 

Hi, sorry for dig up this post again but I have a M135i and have some doubts.
I've read that is necessary to unplug the cable from the EDC module, is that correctly? Where's the location of this module on a F20?
I wanna to use regular shocks and disable my adaptive suspentions. If I do it is it possible to enable it again doing the reverse process?

Thanks!!

 

Hey @shawnsheridan I've got an interesting one here, where I'm trying to do the opposite.
The car was a Japanese import to New Zealand, and they've flashed the car to be Australian, but it appears the one they used disabled the Adaptive suspension.
It's definitely physically installed, I've done the opposite of your post in this thread, and added 2VF and coded the mentioned modules, but the car now just gives a error for the Chassis.
I do now have the option in iDrive to setup the sports mode now and turn off/off chassis, and I can actually feel the difference in the steering. But am yet to take it for a drive and see if the suspension is working, due to the error it now provides.
Any advice on what I may need to change/enable?

Check FA and see how it compare to original FA. It may be different or more than just 2VF. If FA is wrong, correct FA and Code car. Coding may not be enough though, it may need to be flashed with correct FA.

 

Every decoder I put it in shows it as having it, plus it has the shocks for it 🤔

Strange. I cant speak for Aftermarket VIN Decoders. What I pulled is straight from BMW Server.

 

Interesting, that bmw says it doesn't, but it’s definitely physically there.

 

Actually I just recall that the dealer had an official BMW sheet emailed to me, pulled from the local BMW Dealership. And that confirms 2VF is there from factory.

 

Ok.
