Have an appt. with Mike Benvo, my wish list?
Since i have a appt. with Mike next week for a MDM retrofit/Coding/Tune, might as well get my wish list together!
Update to latest System Software Update Nav to 2012 maps MDM Retrofit Turn off seatbelt chime for driver/Passenger Enable DVD in Motion Disable iDrive “accept” message on startup Turn off iDrive Fasten Belts Warning Add a fuel stop suggestion option Add DSC Off option to MDrive settings Have eight shortcut buttons instead of 6 BMW Live Activation (list says 2011+ cars, but Mike did it on his 08 right?) Rolling of windows and sunroof up with the key (holding lock) Folding the mirrors with keyfob lock Automatic Unlock when key is removed / car is turned off Set the sunroof to automatically close when rain is detected Allow the windows to move up and down even with door interruption Allow the wipers to complete their cycle after the car is turned off Tweak settings for welcome lights Make the emergency signals double blink when turned on Enable all four front headlights for brights and brights flashing Enable BMW Efficient Dynamics Display Turn off the annoying “key in ignition” gong Add instantaneous digital MPG to M cars Remove the over optimistic correction to the digital speed display Make the low fuel warning come on later (1/6th) Euro MDM mode activation Blinkers flash 4 or 5 Tuning list Reprogrammed torque management parameters Reprogrammed throttle response in both normal and sport modes Reprogrammed ignition timing, and optimization for fuel type(crap 91 in LA) Reprogrammed Vanos control for maximum drivability Sharper throttle response and smoother engine operation Launch control 4000rpm Should i install hi-flo air filter first? Brand? Anything i'm missing?

You should already have DSC Off as an option in your M Drive settings. Turning it off is how you can select Drivelogic S6. My 2010 works this way.
BMW Live requires a Combox upgrade, it's not just software.

I had the cold start secondary air pumps removed by Mike. It no longer has that loud start up when it's cold and the throttle response remains normal. I don't know if it's that big of a deal with 6MT, but with DCT I think it's a must.

I don't understand this logic unless you have modified any part of your exhaust. Cold start is awesome on stock and barely lasts a minute. My neighbors truck is louder than my car

My favourites are switching the triple blink to 5, and eliminating the double pull. Enjoy!

Combox was not made available until late 2010 production.

On a DCT car, the clutch engagement and throttle response is horrendous until the car warms up. Pulling out of a tight parking spot becomes very frustrating.

Just came across this thread.
Your parts will be in on Wednesday If you don't have combox now but want to get it, we can always retrofit this in the future. Not sure if you have a 6MT or DCT, but if 6MT you might also want the 6MT launch control feature: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=746163 Other tuning features you might want are the cold start rev limit reduction, and maybe the cold start cam phasing shut off. BMW Live is available only if you have the Combox. Safe travels and we'll take good care of your baby when it comes in.

However, when you have an a full Akra or are catless, the sound is dramatically increased. With cold start enabled, I get dirty looks from everyone walking around in my enclosed parking structure. And to be honest, I don't really blame them. Because I back up to a wall, the sound resonates like crazy. You can't even have a conversation ten feet from the car without screaming at the person next to you. It vibrates your chest. It really is 'too much'. So on a car with modified exhaust, it makes a big difference in this scenario. Although it does sound pretty cool/crazy, I have to admit. For me, it's not all about sound. The cold start cam phasing causes the car to be much more jerky and unsmooth on startup. Being able to drive the car smoothly on cold start was enough to make the feature worth it for me.

I love the cold start! I just let it idle for 30 seconds or so, put my phone in the cradle, and then back out the drive way. I get to the street and we're good to go.
I keep meaning to call you guys but they just won't leave me alone at work!
