turn non CP into CP via coding??

[bleunetizen]

One of my friends who own an M3 claims that CP and non CP use same hardware for the shock absorbers and diff, and the only difference is how software controls it.

He says that the settings for M3 GTS has become available on forums etc and is going to try it out and see how it goes.

He says it is all done using esys.

It would be very cool if we can simply read CP's config (given that we know which modules etc) and paste those onto non CP car and have the same setup.

Anyone got more info on this? I always thought the shocks were different but if only edc software is different then its a good new for non cp users?

It's not that straightforward on the M5 there are a lot of mechanical differences. I believe you can upgrade the suspension with a HAS Kit and then code certain elements for the suspension.

Speak with Evolve Automotive in Luton in the UK as they will be able to advise

If you are talking about the M3 GTS is he talking about the E92 or F82 generation?

The F82 GTS does have different DCT settings that you can flash on a non-GTS car, but other than that there are hardware changes.

For the F82 the changes are here:

The F06/10/12/13 changes are here:

Note that the M6 doesn't have the lower ride height but still has stiffer springs and bigger anti-roll bars.

Yes - thats what I always thought, will wait for him to try his stuff and see what he says haha

Not with the M5

Suspension is different, exhaust

What is the Competition Package and what does it consist of?
The Competition Package for the F10 M5, known by the internal option code 7MA, was introduced beginning with July, 2013 production and consisted of the following features:
—Revised engine management with different boost mapping, yielding 15 additional horsepower (for a total of 575)
—Sport exhaust with black chrome tips
—Revised suspension tuning with shorter (by 10mm) and stiffer (by 20 percent) springs, stiffer damping rates (by 20 percent), stiffer front axle bushings and increased anti-roll bar stiffness (by 15 percent)
—Quicker steering rack (by 10 percent) with revised Servotronic software
—Retuned Active M Differential software
—Retuned M Dynamic Mode (MDM) for Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
—20-inch cast alloy "Style 601M" alloy wheels, sized 9x20-inch (front) and 10x20-inch (rear)

Regarding the exhaust, there are differences in addition to the black tips. Resonators are a different, a more straight through design, and the mufflers are different well.

Mine came with 343 wheels. It was an option for free.

Yes some did as you say its a free choice

I’ve fitted H&R springs and competition pack ARBs to my non cp m5 f10 2016.

Do I need to code the EDC to CP to reap full benefit of the hardware install.

And has anyone done it??
