Possible to turn this light off permanently with Bimmercode?

You can not turn it off with BimmerCode in the “standard” options.

You may be able to do it with expert mode, but I’ve never tinkered with that.

It was possible on the f80
I’ll try on f90 and report back

I emailed bimmercode support, we'll see what they say

From BC: This depends on the specific headlight modules in the car. You can use the free version of the app and one of the supported OBD adapters to check if it is available for your car.


Not super helpful but I'll deal. I've already got the paid version and their OBD adapter, I'll just try to play around until I can figure it out.

That’s exactly why I was saying that it wasn’t in the “standard” options. If it can be done, it will be in expert mode. Brush up on your German or have Google Translate handy for some of the more obscure things.

I'm assuming it's one of these:



Time to FAFO I guess!

Is there even some sort of SDK/User Guide for the F90 anywhere that's maintained or is this literally just guess n check? The documentation itself from BC doesn't look complete.

Ok I figured it out for anyone else coming here to turn off their sidemarkers/sidelights whatever.

I used BimmerCode and their recommended OBD Adapter (CX Bluetooth).

1. Go into Front Light Module Left
2. Turn on advanced mode
3. Search lm_id_lt04, change to 1
4. Save
5. Search Lm04_Name, change to 1
6. Save
7. Search Sidemrklgt_Idx, change to 7
8. Save
9. Code!

Repeat 2-9 for Front Light Module Right and you're set!

You got lucky here that these were not entirely in German. Makes it much easier.

Thanks for sharing with us!
