Disabling Orange Turn Signal
Is it possible to code the orange turn signal to always be off, but illuminate only when the turn signal is used? Is it possible to do this with BimmerCode?

I think you are referring to the marker light. It is possible to code off on the led models but I'm not sure if you can on the incandescent markers. I just checked BimmerCode and there is an option in the FEM module to disable the side marker and it doesn't look like there is a specific requirement as bulb type. My car is a 2018 so mine are led so I don't know exactly how yours are. Hope this helps.

I'd also suggest checking Bimmian for chrome bulbs. They light up orange when lit but chrome when off much better look especially combined with coding for just turn signal. Not the best pic but zoom in and you'll see.

I had the chrome bulbs on several of my BMW's as well and I liked that it got rid of the yoke color in headlight housing.
The coding option is clearly listed under Front Electronic Module (FEM) as marker lights under lighting. See my screen shot.

I've done this with most of my cars. We just got the F22 last weekend - what's involved in getting to the turn signal bulbs with Xenons?

In case you weren't aware or for others who may not change bulbs often, do not touch them with your bare hands. Even if perfectly clean you have oils that can create a hotspot and premature bulb failure.
