The 35is stays at 3 or -3. So something isn’t happy, no errors though, checked wires on the steering rack and all seem to be good.

In terms of what the OP is asking, I think it’s a perfectly valid ask, The steering is looser than what allot of people like in comfort mode and would be nice if we could change a few values in the coding to make it a bit stiffer, I would need to figure out why my steering isn’t stiffening up in the first place to be able to resolve the coding side of it.

The more I looked into it the more obtuse and difficult it got..as discussed there are many variables each with it’s set of possible values..you can edit them in Protool (or I guess ISTA) and /or load complete s/w versions..

I have swapped the performance brake option in for example as that was a bmw option although never deployed on the

On s p o o l s t r e e t There’s been a very very long discussion on coding DSC variables and lots of reverse engineering..the point of realisation being that without knowing the whole system it’s very very difficult to interpolate results…

Of course a good analogue approach works..I used M3 steering linkages plus monoball upgrades with Meyle HD tie rod ends and camber plates with revised steering geometry to get the feel and tightness I wanted..
