DIY: Code M3 ZCP to M4 CS steering, differential, DSC, and EDC settings
DIY: Code M3 ZCP to M4 CS steering, differential, DSC, and EDC settings
I don't have to sell you on the reasons why or why not to do this. I want the DIYer to be able to use M4 CS coding without expensive apps and adapters or charge per session remote coding. The coding community had most of the documentation online for those willing to search. Please try out the coding guide. It worked for my car, but this is a do at your own risk activity with zero warranty implied. My car is a 6 speed, so I didn't get the opportunity to do a DCT flash. See https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1326049 for info on DCT/EGS coding. Updates: 2020/1/24 - Updated psdzdata guidance to use latest. Using the December 2017 version produced incorrect DSC and EPS settings when coded to M3 CS. Updated M3 CS DSC and EPS values in the validation section. 2019/12/31 - Added M4 GTS option codes. Reworded ECU update step for clarity. Provided screenshot with boxes to check for ECU update step. 2019/09/07 - Added option codes table and validations for M3 ZCP and M3 CS settings. Removed all VCM writes from coding procedures. Reduced number of steps required to code. Tested coding procedure with 2017 M3 ZCP, 2018 M3 CS, and 2019 M4 CS options.

I agree everything but one thing: You shouldn't write modified FA to VCM. Modified FA could be just loaded, activated and modules could be coded by this FA. There is no need to write it VCM, and you shouldn't do it because it can couse a lot of pain in the future. Great DIY! |

Which steps need corrections? - 2.b Leave Update VCM after TAL execution unchecked? TAL execution failed without this box checked. - 6.j Omit this step. Do not Write FA FP. - 6.l Load rather than read the modified FA. - 8.a Load rather than read the modified FA. |

Not entirely, because the non-CP use different damper hardware than the CP and CS.

You can code these settings so long as you have the required ECUs and software. Like CanAutM3 said, the adaptive dampers on normal M3/M4 are different than those used on ZCP and CS models. The EDC coding may/may not be an improvement for you.
See https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1525983 to see the difference between shock valving for normal adaptive shocks vs ZCP adaptive shocks. Based on this data, you will probably feel similar low speed improvements as people report on ZCP models. High speed will probably feel softer/more suspension movement. |

this DIY uses M4CS edc, is there an equivalent M3CS specific edc coding option that exists?
The spring rates on the M3CS are different than the M4CS so I would assume the EDC config is equally different. |

After decoding VINs for M3 CS and M4 CS models and VO coding the options, I found the settings for M3 CS are different than M4 CS.
DSC = Unique settings per model. M3 ZCP is F80_CP, M3 CS is F80, and M4 CS is F82_GTS. If M4 CS is coded, the TPMS is disabled. EPS = M3 ZCP and M3 CS have the same value, "F80, F82, default". M4 CS is set to F82GTS GHAS =M3 CS and M4 CS have the same value, F082GTS. The M3 ZCP is F080 + M_Competition / High is aktiv. VDC = Unique settings per model. M3 ZCP is F80_Comp, M3 CS is F86_Comp, and M4 CS is F85_Comp. I tried the M3 CS coding and didn't care for the steering weight. It was back to normal ZCP weight and I want the lighter steering weight from M4 CS/GTS coding. I also chose the M3 CS VDC/EDC specific coding. I haven't driven it yet to attempt to feel any differences. The guide has been updated with the option code information required to use these settings. |

Personally when I had my Non-ZCP M4, best combination was:
EPS: GTS GHAS: GTS EGS: GTS EDC: CS VDC: Standard

Definitely going to be trying this out soon, just need to get the software updated on the relevant modules. And for that, I don't yet have a PSU...
Thanks for the guide! |

I tried this, but hit a snag with the ECU update step which I'm not sure is a real issue or just a mis-interpretation of the document. When starting the flash procedure, the document mentions that all of blflash, swdeploy, cddeploy, and ibadeploy should be checked for the DSC, EPS, GHAS, and VDC1 ECUs. But the "bldeploy" and "ibadeploy" check boxes are greyed out for all four ECUs. Is this a real issue? Or are these just not needed?
FWIW, I'm trying to upgrade 16-03-504 to 19-07-562. |
