G12 iDrive re-coding question???

I have read that you can reprogram certain elements of the iDrive.

Does anybody have experience or know if it is possible to put a custom graphic where the M760i graphic is displayed? If a custom graphic is not possible does anybody know if there is a default M logo that could be displayed.

Also it is possible to change the close down BMW image when you turn the car off to an M Performance version?

There are subforums for coding. Do a search and you will find a lot of information on what can and cannot be coded.

I haven't seen anyone put a custom/non-BMW logo in the instrument cluster. It's possible to code the vehicle to display various logos, such as M760Li, etc. You can also opt for just the M logo, but it will only appear when the car is in Sport mode.

Lots of people here have the M Performance STARTUP animation in iDrive instead of the ConnectedDrive one--don't think many stick around to watch the close-down animation, if there's even one.
