Zerocks, this is the MVP of DIY threads!!! You guys on the M6 board are really on fire with the DIY projects, it took me hours to go through this one.
Quick question, does the Idrive boot faster with the legal disclaimer and BMW splash screen disabled? Or are those events concurrent to the process and cause no delay? I have a 2006 with the CCC and it tends to be slow on the boot, mildly annoying but not horrible.
Lastly, if you can come up with a code change that enables 2 more cylinders in my car and makes it as fast as yours I would GREATLY appreciate it!
